African story telling isibongo  "Everything in life is a story" Laurens van der Post.
The first record of the word  boredom  is in the novel, Bleak House, by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, although the expression  to be a bore  had been used in the sense of "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768 Boredom has been defined by Fisher in terms of its central psychological processes: “an unpleasant, transient affective state in which the individual feels a pervasive lack of interest in and difficulty concentrating on the current activity”
 
AKA Boredom is not a sales strategy
What I found out when selling HR software. It took a while to learn this.

Show early -  a simple taste. A  fresh bread roll.
Talk about real live customers all the time, not just in the formal  sessions.  Details work.
If they want vegetables, let them order. Then bring it on.
Put corporate stuff in the customer context
Give the demo away.  Let the customer do the selling.
