On-the-job Training
Most demonstrators and promoters receive training on the job. You need little or no work experience to meet the requirements for this occupation. You do need a high school diploma or GED. Knowledge of the product is very important for a good presentation. The length of training depends on the product you demonstrate. You may receive a few days of training for most products. However, training on complex products, such as computers, may last for weeks or months.

During training you learn how to demonstrate the product and ***ways to deal with customers*** ie customer approach . You may work with an experienced demonstrator while you build confidence.
