# Give product demos where the prospect clicks around themselves

> People remember what they did, not what they watched. Let your prospect join from their browser and click through your product on your screen, while you guide them.

**Short answer:** share your demo environment in a Pairio call and let the prospect take over with their own mouse and keyboard. They join from their browser, nothing to install, and click through your product while you guide them and point by drawing. They feel the product instead of watching it, and you see exactly where they hesitate.

## Why watching a demo is not enough

In a normal screen share, the prospect watches you click. You know where everything is, so it looks easy, but they have not touched it. The moment they try it themselves, after the call, is the moment many deals stall.

## How to run it

1. **Prepare a demo account** with realistic data, on your Mac. Close everything else, or hide apps like Mail and Slack with App Mask.
2. **Send the meeting link**, or pick Pairio as the conferencing option in your Google Calendar invite.
3. **The prospect joins from their browser.** They sign in with Google and are in. No download.
4. **Show the one thing that matters to them first.** Two minutes, not twenty.
5. **Hand over.** Give them control and ask them to do the task themselves: "Try creating an invoice."
6. **Point, do not grab.** When they get stuck, draw a circle around the right button instead of taking the mouse back.
7. **Note where they hesitated.** That is your best product feedback.

## Why Pairio fits

- The prospect joins from a browser and can click and type on your shared Mac screen.
- The screen stays sharp, so small labels and numbers are readable.
- You stay in your own environment, with your own data and settings.
- App Mask keeps private apps out of view.
- Free for 10 hours a month per user, which is plenty for a handful of demos a week.

## When Pairio is not the right choice

- Demos for more than 4 people at once. Use a meeting tool for webinars.
- Your demo runs on Windows. The Pairio app is for Mac; from a browser you can share, but others can only draw on your screen.

## Questions people ask

**Does the prospect need to install anything?** No. They join from their browser and sign in with Google or email.

**Can they break something?** They work in your demo account while you watch. Use a demo account with test data, never a live customer account.

**Can I stop their control at any moment?** You can stop sharing at any moment.
