# Creating and Using a Demo Location for B2B Clients

## What’s a Demo Location?
A B2B demo location in LightSpeed VT is your private, branded playground to show potential clients what you’re made of. Think of it as a “test drive” — prospects can experience your training system firsthand, without unlocking the full, paid version.

Used well, it gives buyers the confidence they need to say yes.

## Why You Should Use a Demo Location
- **Show Off, Strategically**
Highlight key features like layout, sample content, and navigation — without overwhelming.
- **Seamless Self-Registration**
Provide a registration link so prospects can self-enroll and explore. No manual setup required!
- **Build Trust, Faster**
“Try before you buy” builds credibility and shortens the sales cycle..
- **Control the Narrative**
Decide what they see — impactful sample Courses, intro videos, or specific modules.

## How to Set It Up
1. **Duplicate Your Location**
    - Go to **Super User Dashboard** > **Location Management** > Create New Location.
    - Set the **Source Template** to your main System (to copy styles/settings)
    - Give it a friendly **Name**  (e.g., `Demo Location – [Your Brand]`).
    - Under **Billing Information**, set:
      - **Business Model** as desired.
      - **License Frequency** to `0`.
      - **Billing Notes**: `For Demo Purposes Only`.
  - Leave all other fields blank.

2. **Limit to High-Impact Content**
    - Go to **Super User Dashboard** > **Content Containers** (Content column).
    - Under **Add New Role**, select `Hidden`. Name it (e.g., `Demo Users`), then **Add Role**.
    - Click the **Edit** icon on the new role.
    - Select only 2–3 Courses or Modules that highlight value.
    - Click **Save Changes**.

:::(Warning) ()
Avoid including purchasable content to keep the experience friction-free.

:::(Info) (👉 Pro tip:)
Add a “Book a Call” Course that links to your calendar, so you can instantly capture qualified leads ready to talk.

3. **Add a Welcome Message or Video**
    - Option 1 (Custom Theme):
      - Go to **Super User Dashboard** > **Private Label Management**.  
      - Clone your System Theme and customize it for the Demo Location.
    - Option 2 (Main Menu Welcome Message):
      - Go to **System Management** > **Main Menu Welcome Message**.  
      - Select **Add New Row**.
      - Enter the **Content Role ID** and **Video URL** (from Media Library).

4. **Create a Registration Form**
    - Go to **Super User Dashboard** > **Registration Forms** (Users column).  
    - Click **+ New Account**.
    - Name it (e.g., `B2B Demo Sign-Up`).
    - Assign to your Demo Location.
    - Assign the `Demo Users` Content Role.
    - Select essential fields only (name, email, company).

5. **Generate and Share the Link**
    - Copy the unique registration link from the form.  
    - Use it in:
      - Follow-up emails
      - Sales presentations
      - Landing pages
      - Social media

## Why This Approach Wins
- Gives prospects a no-pressure, meaningful preview
- Lets them experience your system’s value firsthand
- Builds trust and answers objections early
- Accelerates deals by moving qualified leads forward

**Final tip:** Treat your demo location like a VIP experience, not a dumping ground. Less is more — give them just enough to want the full package.
