Reach out 1:1 to every person on the invite list to get their agenda and run mini discovery. Build personal connections – Use those pre-demo calls to create rapport and uncover hot-button issues you’d never get in a big group setting. Get immediate post-demo feedback – Call your champion and key stakeholders right after the demo to capture real reactions and uncover next steps while it’s fresh. Follow up individually, not just with a group recap – Send a tailored 1:1 follow-up email to each stakeholder to spark deeper conversations, create new champions, and drive true multithreading.
