Over 13,500 copies of Great Demo! have been purchased by
readers around the world, to date. Additionally, the book has been
awarded the Reader's Choice designation (twice!) by the publisher.
Authors earn the Reader's Choice award after receiving the Editor's
Choice designation and achieving large sales volumes.
We are delighted to report that Phreesia, Inc.,a Great Demo!
Workshop customer, won the coveted "DemoGod" Award at the Fall
2007 Demo Conference.
Great Demo! Open Workshops
We have scheduled 3 Public Great Demo! Workshops in 2012 as
follows:
- February 29
- May 23
- October 10
These Workshops will take place in San Jose, California, in
conjunction with the folks at SKMurphy. This is an excellent
opportunity for individuals or small groups or for teams that have
new hires.
We’ve found that these events are most productive when there are at
least 2 participants from each organization. This helps to mimic
real-life interactions as much as possible, both when preparing
demos and delivering them in the role-play sessions.
For more details and registration information on the February 29
Workshop please click here. For information on the May and
October Workshops please contact us directly.
Two Pieces of Interesting News
1. Our customers report getting letters and email from their
customers - thanking them for the crisp, focused, refreshing demos
they delivered! This is not a rare occurrence, but has been ongoing.
2. Some Great Demo! customers now include “customers’
customers” – companies with internal IT teams developing
applications for internal use – who are also taking Great Demo!
Workshops to improve the roll-out and use of their internal
applications. Fascinating!
LinkedIn Group - Over 1600 Members
Join the Great Demo! Group on LinkedIn. There are currently over
1600 members in the Group, many of whom are Great Demo!
Workshop graduates. We post topics and ideas for discussion,
