are overproduced saas demos actually hurting conversions now?

every product video on linkedin lately feels identical. dramatic music, floating UI screens, vague narration about “transforming workflows.”

we're redoing our analytics platform demo right now and honestly the more references i watch, the more everything blends together.

our original version looked visually impressive but user testing showed people barely remembered what the product even did afterward.

also random thing i learned during this process: motion graphics revisions quietly explode budgets way faster than initial quotes suggest.

what actually worked for you guys conversion-wise?
