Business users, show ina business context. Show benefits of TM1 with a simple, relevant example, eg simple P&L by year\month\Line\region\department\version then demo slice and dice\Excel slice calcs and hieraqrchy changes. They should pick it up quickly

iT users are more difficult. Explain TM1 is not relational and users like it. Then overwhelm them with techy stuff like ODBC connections, RAM resident log files etc. use as much jargon as possible and tell them its from IBM so must be good ;-)
