The demo that should have been a sale
The machine goes out for a week and comes back with forty more hours, a scratch and no decision. Stalmio keeps the loan, the agreement and the follow-up together.
Replaces: a handshake, a note on the yard whiteboard, and a follow-up nobody made.
How it goes today
- The demo is agreed on the phone, with nothing signed.
- Hours and damage are checked by eye, if at all.
- Nobody knows which demos turn into sales.
What Stalmio does instead
- Book the demo from Availability, with one check across hires, demos and workshop jobs.
- The customer signs your demo agreement online before the machine leaves.
- Every demo ends with a result, and the report shows your demo-to-sale rate.
What happens
Book it
Pick the machine and the dates in Availability. A machine already on hire or in the workshop is not offered.
Sign it
The customer signs the demo agreement online, in the wording you confirmed.
Out and back
An inspection when it leaves and when it returns, the hours out and back, and a damage charge if needed.
Record the result
Sold, not sold, or still deciding. Reports show the rate by salesperson and the days to a decision.
What you get today
- A list and a board of every demo, with On demo on the machine and in your stock list.
- A demo never bills the customer, messages them or counts as a hire.
- Demo report: demo-to-sale rate, results by salesperson, days to decision, most demoed machines.
Questions dealers ask
- Does a demo count as a hire?
- No. It is never billed and never counts towards hire figures, so your hire numbers stay clean.
- What does the customer sign?
- Your demo agreement, signed online before the machine goes. You confirm the wording once.
- How do I know if demos pay off?
- The demo report shows how many demos became sales, for each salesperson and each machine.
