What is a Pre-Demo?

"Pre-Demo" is the stage before the Demo, when buyers are still in the research phase and not ready to talk to sales.
Buyers make the majority of their buying decisions in this research phase.

Haggle is a Pre-Demo sales platform that allows buyers to ask questions anonymously and sales teams to respond with personalized video demos.

By offering Pre-Demo, sellers can influence buyers who have specific questions, but are not ready to speak to sales and don't want to provide their email.

Haggle is easy to use and takes less than 2 minutes to install.

  2. Prospective buyers ask questions anonymously using the Haggle form

Describing Haggle to Prospective Buyers

The Pre-Demo call-to-action is a new for many of your buyers. Here are some ideas for how you can describe Haggle on your website or in emails to help them understand.

  • "Not ready to demo, but want to learn more? Request a Pre-Demo video from us. 100% anonymous. No email."
  • "Anonymously Register Your Interest. You can ask us questions about [COMPANY NAME] or request a demo video by clicking the button below. No email or sign up required."
  • "Have questions for us, but not ready to demo? Request a Pre-Demo video from us. We will never ask for your email."
  • "Interested, but want to continue to research on your own? Request a Pre-Demo and anonymously request a video demo. No email spam, we promise."

Video Response Guidelines

What sales teams receive from the buyer in the Pre-Demo request

  • Company Name and Department
  • Personalized questions buyer wants answered
  • Requested video length

What to include in your response

  • Answer all their questions, and add additional context you think would be helpful based on their industry/company/Department
  • Keep video within the requested length
  • Personalization is key! Buyers use Haggle because they want personalized insights, not generic, pre-canned answers. No two Pre-Demo responses should be alike. Spend the time to research the company and tailor your response to their needs, increasing your chances of moving the prospective buyer to a live demo.
