You cannot standardise the question. You can only standardise what happens to the answer.
"We had a good conversation" is not the same as having a great demo.
Model the business impact with their numbers, not yours. ROI built from your figures gets discounted the moment it leaves the room. ROI built from their cycle times and headcount survives the CFO.
If your buyer leaves the demo thinking, “I need a week to figure out if this is actually useful,” the demo did not do its job.
If your demo creates homework, it creates friction. If it creates clarity, it creates urgency.
