Live Value Demonstration Guide​

Demo 1: Response Time Transformation (2 minutes)​

Show the dramatic difference:

  1. Open your Analytics Dashboard
  2. Go to Overview tab
  3. Point to "Average Response Time"

Script for demonstration:

"Before Optimly, our average response time was [X hours/minutes]. Now look at this - we're responding in [Y seconds]. That's a [Z]% improvement. This means customers get help immediately instead of waiting, and our team can focus on complex problems instead of routine questions."

Calculate the impact:

Time saved per customer = Old response time - New response time
Daily time savings = Time saved × Daily conversations
Weekly productivity gain = Daily savings × 5
Monthly cost savings = Weekly gain × 4 × $30/hour

Demo 2: Success Rate Improvement (2 minutes)​

  1. Point to "Success Rate" metric
  2. Show the percentage improvement
  3. Click on a successful conversation example

Script:

"Our success rate improved from [X]% to [Y]%. This means [Z]% more customers get their problems solved immediately without needing follow-up. Each successful conversation saves us [$X] in additional support costs."

Demo 3: Volume Handling Capacity (3 minutes)​

  1. Show "Total Conversations" metric
  2. Compare to team capacity before automation
  3. Demonstrate scalability

Script:

"We're now handling [X] conversations per month with the same team size. Before Optimly, our team could handle [Y] conversations. That's [Z]% more capacity without hiring anyone. If we had to hire for this volume, it would cost us [$X] annually."

Real-Time ROI Calculator​

Live ROI Demonstration​

Use these formulas with your actual dashboard numbers:

Cost Savings Calculation​

Current Monthly Support Costs: $______
Automation Rate (from dashboard): _____%
Average Cost Reduction: 60%

Monthly Savings = Support Costs × Automation % × 0.6
Annual Savings = Monthly Savings × 12

Example:
$20,000 × 70% × 0.6 = $8,400/month = $100,800/year

Productivity Improvement​

Team Size: _____ people
Hours Saved per Person per Day: _____ hours
Hourly Rate: $30 (average loaded cost)

Daily Productivity Value = Team × Hours × Rate
Monthly Value = Daily × 22 working days
Annual Value = Monthly × 12

Example:
5 people × 3 hours × $30 = $450/day = $9,900/month = $118,800/year

Revenue Protection​

Monthly Revenue: $______
Customer Satisfaction Improvement: _____%
Churn Reduction: 1/3 of satisfaction improvement

Revenue Protected = Monthly Revenue × Churn Reduction %
Annual Revenue Protection = Protected × 12

Example:
$100,000 × (40% improvement × 0.33) = $13,200/month = $158,400/year
