Hello everyone,I am new to the Consensus platform and trying to use it effectively for sales demos. While I have read some guides, I am having trouble figuring out the best way to customize demos for different clients without overloading them with information. I want each demo to be engaging and directly relevant to the client’s specific needs, but I am unsure which features to prioritize or how much detail is too much.If anyone has tips on structuring demos or making them more interactive, I would love to hear them! Are there any best practices or strategies that have worked well for you in terms of keeping clients interested without overwhelming them?I also read this topic on this site https://goconsensus.com/blog/shorten-sales-cycles-with-these-4-interactive-demo-tips-blue-prism but I could not find anything helpful for me.Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.Best,[Helena]

Camtasia vs ScreenPal, vs something else?

We’ve been asked recently about which people prefer, Camtasia, ScreenPal or something else, so I thought I’d ask it here. Personally, I use ScreenPal for recording my screen and webcam. Camtasia for editing and if there’s something that needs a heavy-hitter I’ll use Premiere Pro. What do you use, and do you use different tools for different things? P.S. Camtasia and ScreenPal templates are now live:
