Demonstrating Software
-
I need a way to just demonstrate software to a remote party. No updating of anything wanted, under any conditions. I want to speak to a prospect on the phone, while showing the product. There are Lots of offering that claim to do things m,or or less like what I want. I've read all their "Privacy" tomes, and for some reason they all want to know things like what your daddy does for a living, and your dog's name. I guess I can live with that, but not that they'll take whatever they want, and do whatever they want with it. On pricing, I've gotten five figure quotes for single user, the actual case. Does anyone know of a reasonable solution? Thank you. johnodes1

I've sat through hundreds and hundreds of remote software demos, and almost everyone uses GotoMeeting.com for this. There are some others, and a current popular one is zoom.com, but by and large GotoMeeting is the, well, goto standard. I don't remember it being particularly expensive or difficult, and you can switch back and forth between showing a presentation (powerpoint), a view of the software being shown, and your own webcam if you choose. Most don't use a webcam though, it's mostly switching back and forth between the software and a presentation. It takes some practice to do well so I'd definitely encourage you to rehearse before putting yourself in front of a prospective customer. I'd also encourage you to keep the 'canned' or scripted part of the demo short and let the customer as questions so you can keep the demo lively and interesting. David
