Recently I attend a NedSpace event featuring some starts up demoing their products and thought this would have been useful information for some of the presenters…

1. Show your product within the first 60 seconds
2. The best products take less than five minutes to demo
3. Leave people wanting more
4. Talk about what you’ve done, not what you’re going to do
5. Understand your competitive landscape–current and historical
6. Short answers are best
7. PowerPoint bullet slides are death
8. How to use this new device called the phone
9. How to handle questions you don’t know the answer to
10. Always confirm the time of your meeting/call, and always be 15 minutes early
