Vendors who offer it will see only a plus – assuming the rest of their system is favorable. . Vanilla demos – Still hot and I ask you why? Before I see my scheduled demo – ask to see a demo that shows off the capabilities of the vendor’s system – after all, you are not going to buy a vanilla demo.

You will not forget them when you view a demo, nor when you are looking at the company’s web site or literature. I often hear people say they want mobile learning in their solution, social learning, e-commerce, but when you ask for specifics they sometimes have a blank stare on their face. Specifics. Always after.

Once you identify your LMS potentials, you can create a RFP or RFI with specific details you need and additional information on the company, etc. You identify the date you need them back by, who to contact at your company – which is you – for additional questions, and how they are to send back the RFP/RFI.

If you are a vendor you are likely to see it too often and it appears when the “potential customer” sends you a RFP without ever talking to you prior to. . Or they send the RFP after a discussion, but before seeing the product. Nowadays it is easy to just send off that RFP without doing any due diligence.

Over 90% of LMS vendors had their sites available only in English; so the potential customer could not view it in any other language. A high percentile pitched “demo&# as a trial, but you had to register – so hello phone call and at least an e-mail (even if you ask not to e-mail). Demo vs Trial.

Now, if it is a vendor you just dislike, this is not an ideal option, but look, I hate people ringing my doorbell, and so I let my dogs do the barking, err talking. Let’s say you are about to sign a contract with a learning system vendor or even an e-learning vendor with another product.

This lack of WOW equally hurts in the demo. I don’t care how awesome your system is, if you show a vanilla demo and tell folks well it can look like this or that, folks just won’t see it as that. Again, it is not because they cannot grasp it, rather the brain cannot. . Your system constantly has bugs and issues.

Always check out the learning system, ask the right questions (which is in this guide), drill them. Always see a demo – you steer, they drive (I’ll explain that later). Questions to ask during your Demo and things you can do and will seek prior to the demo. Your RFP/RFI. Or so I have been told.

I never did a RFP nor spent more time than necessary to find a system. Try to avoid using a RFP template. There is one vendor out there who has it and many people use it. The problem is that it contains so much information and it is geared toward that said vendor, it will be impossible for other vendors to match every item.
