Get the Demo Script Builder skill

Install it in Claude as an Agent Skill, or copy it into ChatGPT, Gemini, or any assistant. Same method either way.

What this does and why it matters

The default demo is a feature tour that bores buyers and buries the point. This skill builds a demo structured around the buyer's specific pains, showing only the capabilities that resolve them, in the order that builds conviction, so the buyer sees their own outcome rather than your product's menu.

Inputs to gather

  1. The buyer, their role, and the pains uncovered in discovery.
  2. The product capabilities and which ones map to those pains.
  3. The desired outcome of the demo (advance to proposal, technical validation, executive buy-in).

Method

1. Open with the destination

Start by stating the outcome the buyer will see by the end, tied to their pain. This gives every click a reason.

2. Tell it as their story, not a tour

Structure the demo as the buyer's workflow: here is the moment you feel the pain, here is what happens instead with this. Sequence by pain, not by product module.

3. Show the least that proves the most

Every screen must earn its place by resolving a known pain. Cut anything that does not. Depth on what matters beats breadth on what does not.

4. Build tension and payoff

Set up the pain, then reveal the resolution. A demo with narrative tension holds attention; a flat click-through loses it.

5. Plan the interaction points

Where to pause and ask a question, where to confirm resonance, where to let them drive.

6. Close on the next step

End with the agreed advancing action, not "any questions?"

Output format

ALWAYS use:

# Demo Script: [Buyer / Company]
## Outcome statement (what they will see and why it matters to them)
## Flow (pain -> capability -> payoff, in order)
For each segment: setup line, what to show, the point to land, the check-in question
## Screens or features to skip (and why)
## Anticipated questions and responses
## Close and next step

Anti-patterns to avoid

  • A feature tour organized by product menu.
  • Showing everything the product can do.
  • No narrative tension, just clicking.
  • Ending on "any questions?" instead of a next step.

Example

For a buyer whose pain is slow reporting, the demo opens "by the end you will see this month-end report build itself in under a minute", skips unrelated modules, and lands the payoff on the automated report.
