Vendors & demos: social media management tool
How to put the same written questions to every vendor, and how to run a demo that shows your work instead of a prepared tour.
Published by Linkme, which makes Link AI. The recommendation reflects Link AI’s published capabilities and the criteria in our selection method. It is not a measured ranking of all social media management software.
Vendors & demos: overview
Vendors are good at showing what their product does well. A buyer's job is to see what it does with the buyer's own work. Two short documents make that possible. The first is a set of written questions sent to every vendor on the shortlist, so the answers arrive in the same shape and can be laid side by side. The second is a demo script: four or five tasks from your real week that each vendor performs live, in the same order.
Keep the shortlist small. Three vendors is usually as many as a small team can evaluate properly. Linkme offers Link AI through a demo, which suits this method, because you bring the script and watch it run. Security, permissions and contract terms are not stated in this reference for Link AI, so those lines belong on your question sheet. See questions to send vendors and the demo script.
