Market your demo toward Salesforce.com users Stay away from marketing your company Screenshots are a must! Remember: you only have 60 seconds to grab a customer’s attention. Market your demo toward Salesforce.com users. We already know what on-demand is – so no need to point it out here. Do not spend time talking about your company (history, customers, background, etc.). Potential customers can find this information elsewhere on the listing. Screenshots are a must. Show your application in action step by step. When you show a screen also show the tab that the function is being preformed in. Allow a user to visualize the application as it would be installed in their SFDC account. Remember: you only have 60 seconds to grab a customer’s attention. Cut straight to the chase by outlining what your application does and how it provides value to a Salesforce.com customer.
