I've sat through sales demos from the likes of Remedy, Scopus, Vantive, Onyx, Support Magic, RTI, and I can't tell you how many others. I'm pretty sure that every demo team was made up of a techie and a sales guy, with the techie either doing the demo himself, or at least fielding every question. On a side note, I also recently sat through a demo from Sprint for a new phone system, and their sales guy was a techie himself and so did everything. He had his own techie with him, but he seemed to be more of an "AV" guy, and did not assist in the demo other than making sure everything was connected and worked. I was impressed by this sales person. Personally, I liked Onyx the best, but as one of our thread members told me, "they demo well." Yup, suckered me in all right, cause I voted for them, but majority ruled and I lost out to Vantive. So I gave in and now I'm a shareholder, although it seems I may have some dead money for awhile... -jsc
