Realistic Demo Talking Points
Use lines like:
“Most small stations I talk to are juggling this in Excel.” “This system tries to keep you out of trouble before air.” “You should be able to generate tomorrow’s log in under 3 minutes.”
Avoid:
- Corporate language
- Enterprise buzzwords
- Overpromising automation magic
