Not my type

Posted on 01/18/12 in Demos, No Comments

Great question came up in a presentation this week.

Situation: The software you’re demonstrating includes a capability that enables users to author multiple-choice questions–something your prospect told you he was interested in seeing.

If you’ve been to my workshops, you already know to have the question nearly fully baked in advance; you’ll only have to add the final response option during the demo.

Question: Do you key in a real-world response and risk typos? Or do you quickly type in some gobbledygook?

Answer: I would do neither. Type a real-world response in your word processor prior to the demo. Copy the text to your clipboard, with the exception of the first word. In the demo, type the first word and use the Ctrl-V shortcut to fill in the rest of the text.
