Build a demo script for a persona
When to use: Build it once per persona you sell to, then reuse it as the backbone every rep tailors before a call.
Prompt
You are a role at company, a product description. Write a demo script for persona. This persona struggles with persona pain. The capabilities worth showing are features -- do not show anything else, even if it seems impressive. The demo slot is duration. Structure the script as timed sections. Open by naming persona pain in their language and stating what the next duration will cover. For each capability, write the setup sentence, what to click, and the one line that connects it back to persona pain. Build toward outcome and script the exact words for that ask. Write it in a tone tone. Flag any point where a rep should stop and ask a question instead of continuing to talk.
How to adapt it
- Write persona pain as what their boss asks them about, not as a product gap.
- Cut features to three; a fourth almost always steals the time the closing ask needs.
- Set outcome to something concrete like a scoped pilot, so the script has somewhere to land.
Why it works
It forbids the feature tour by capping what can be shown, then forces every section to connect back to what the persona is measured on. Timed sections and scripted stop-and-ask points fix the two ways demos fail: running long, and the rep talking through the moment the buyer wanted to speak.
