Learning from Product Demos.

Yesterday there were detailed product demos where each product manager was presenting their product in the 30 minutes slot given to them. Some of the Dos and Don'ts which I picked up from that session were:

Do's:
1. Keep a flat and strong voice, everybody can hear comfortably
2. Keep the tempo slow so that everybody can understand. You can speak slightly slower and with modulation in your tone.
3. Have less content on slide and more figures or diagram to show thereby making presenting easier.
4. Always helps to mention what you are planning to cover and going to present?
5. Have an agenda at the beginning and time taken for each item.
6. Have a demo scenario and highlight the points taken from that scenario.
7. For showing change, show before and after analysis

8. Make a demo video/ppt instead of showing application.

Don'ts:
1. Should not say "..aahh.." or take long pauses. Speak slow and ensure you have the speech practiced before.
2. Do not speak numbers or figures without showing on the slides.
3. Do not shift too many screens
