PieceX has introduced a new feature that allows sellers to offer live demo meetings to their prospective buyers. This feature aims to enhance the buying process by enabling sellers to showcase their products in a more interactive and personalized manner.
Let’s take a look of the best practices and code of conduct for sellers during these live demo meetings.
Activating the Live Demo Option
Before we delve into the conduct during live demo meetings, let’s briefly cover how this feature works on PieceX. Sellers can activate the live demo option for their products, making it visible to potential buyers. Once activated, the product listing will display the option to ” Book a demo for this product”.
Potential buyers can then schedule a meeting with the seller by providing two possible dates. The PieceX team will facilitate the process by coordinating a video meeting between the seller and potential buyer, acting as a moderator.
Additionally, these meetings may be recorded for quality control purposes.
Preparing for the Live Demo Meeting
Understand Your Product: Before scheduling any live demo meetings, it’s crucial for sellers to have an in-depth understanding of their product. Be prepared to explain its functionalities, features, and advantages. Anticipate potential questions from buyers and have answers ready.
Test Your Product: Ensure that your product is in perfect working condition before the live demo. Test all features and functionalities to avoid any technical issues during the meeting.
Prepare a Presentation: Create a clear and concise presentation or agenda for the live demo. Although a .ppt presentation is not required but it will help you stay organized and ensure that you cover all the important aspects of your product. If you prefer not to create a presentation, write some notes to yourself that will help you keep an organized and professional flow of ideas so that the buyer will be more inclined to buy your product.
Select a Suitable Environment: Choose a quiet and well-lit location for the video meeting. A clutter-free background and good lighting will help create a more professional impression.
Check Your Equipment: Test your video and audio equipment in advance to ensure there are no technical glitches during the meeting. Make sure your camera, microphone, and internet connection are working optimally.
Verify Time Zone Differences: PieceX is an international marketplace, attracting buyers from various parts of the world, each in different time zones. To ensure a seamless and efficient live demo experience, all meetings coordinated by the PieceX team will include the timezone information.
It’s crucial for sellers to understand this timezone difference and how it translates to their local time. Pay close attention to the timezone information provided by the PieceX team when coordinating the live demo. This information will help you align your schedule with the potential buyer’s availability.
Online time zone converters or scheduling tools can be incredibly helpful. They allow you to input your local time and the buyer’s local time to find a suitable meeting time for both parties.
Code of Conduct for Sellers During Live Demo Meetings
Be Punctual: Respect the potential buyer’s time by joining the meeting on time. Being punctual demonstrates professionalism and consideration.
Introduce Yourself: Start the meeting by introducing yourself and expressing your appreciation for the buyer’s interest in your product.
Follow the Agenda: Create an agenda of points to cover. Cover the key features and functionalities of your product as discussed during the scheduling process.
Engage the Buyer: Encourage the buyer to ask questions and provide real-time answers. Engage in a conversation rather than delivering a one-sided presentation.
Demonstrate Key Features: Showcase the most important and unique features of your product. Highlight how it can solve the buyer’s problems or meet their needs.
Be Transparent: If there are any limitations or potential challenges with your product, be honest and transparent about them. Building trust is essential.
Respect Privacy: Adhere to privacy and confidentiality rules. Do not share sensitive information without the buyer’s consent.
Conclusion
The introduction of live demo meetings on PieceX is a valuable opportunity for sellers to connect with potential buyers on a more personal level and attract more sales. By following the recommended code of conduct and preparing thoroughly for these meetings, sellers can make a positive impression and increase their chances of closing deals.
Remember, professionalism, transparency, and effective communication are the keys to success in these live demo sessions.
