Is Webex Killing Your Sales Demos?

They say that you only have one chance to make a first impression and Glance Networks, based in Boston, MA, is on a mission to make that impression, more powerful and to generate more revenue.

In many technical sales organizations, “the demo” is an important part of the sales process. It is usually a separate event, scheduled with a prospect, after the initial cold call. Glance Networks has developed a product that allows you to present a demo “on the fly”, by using real time, screen sharing technology.

You provide a unique URL to your prospect, they leverage their own internet connection, and within 30 seconds, they can see what you see. In addition, with one click you can turn over the controls to your prospect and they can be in command of your desktop from their location. (You are able to share your screen with up to 100 people.)

Unlike Webex and Go To Meeting, you do not need to download software or rely on a complex log in process. Check out Glance’s spoof video “He should have used Glance”. (Note: you will need to turn your computer volume all the way up.)

I saw a demo of Glance’s product last night at the Boston chapter, American Association for Inside Sales Professionals (AAISP) event. Although any sales representative can use Glance, it is ideal for an inside, telephone based rep. who does most of their work via a desktop computer.

The Glance software is available for a one-day pass, a monthly or annual subscription.

  1. Love the video..I think the presenter kind of reminds me of Austin Powers though. By the way, the upgrades to Glance that you have made are sooooooooo awesome. I Glance into 3 or 4 customers a day for technical supporttroubleshooting, and show my screen for 2 to 3 training classes a week. I couldn’t be more happy with the ability to view guest’s screen. I can’t tell you how much easier it makes my life and my customers’ lives. Great EASY feature. I heart Glance!
