1) Why did we do this?
2) What was the business case?
3) How did we go about it?
4) When will it start to make us/save us more money?
If you can give a simple demo, where each part of the demo supports the 'money/time' argument - and as an added benefit, any differentiators (first in market to do this etc) - then that would help.
Get a secretary/the receptionist/someone completely non-technical to give it the once over - change anything they don't understand so that they do, apart from the obvious management BS, of course.
If you won't be able to answer random business-related questions - make sure someone is in there with you that can.

In order to get past the awe of their mighty presence, try to imagine what they all look like when they are sitting on the bog. Once that image has settled in your mind say, 'i think I will join you' and let rip a mighty fart.
The rest will be easy

Selling software internally
Hi all,
I know most of you are cantankerous techies with people skills being largely absent but nevertheless, as usual, any feedback would be welcome.
I have been tasked with presenting a web software application, on which I am lead developer, to the CEO and Sales director.
I have done a power point (No sniggers) presentation with a VERY highlevel overview of the architecture, development environment which is integrated with a demonstration of the software on from the development site.
Other than ensuring that what I say we have works, any pearls of wisdom for communicating at boardroom level from the anybody here who at least has greying temples?Tags: None
