High-Impact Storytelling for Sales Communication
Equip your sales team with storytelling frameworks to transform their customer conversations and win more business.
Why Stories Matter in Sales
Storytelling matters in sales, whether you're trying to get a meeting or aiming to close a deal. It matters, whether you're sitting across the desk of a prospect or pressing "send" on a cold email.Here's an example of the most successful sales letter in history and how it uses storytelling to connect with prospective subscribers of The Wall Street Journal.
The letter was mailed to households for 28 years, from 1975-2003. ** It generated $2 billion in revenue, which works out to be $195,694 per day.**But what's really amazing is how this sales letter uses one of the storytelling frameworks we teach.So, how does all of this relate to you and your sales team?(1) Your team will learn the framework used in the above, wildly successful WSJ sales letter.(2) Your team will practice applying the framework to their sales pitches and customer conversations.(3) Your team will learn two additional frameworks as well. One will help with unexpected questions. The other will help with the articulation of their value proposition.
