Why Using Story in Marketing Unlocks Deeper Relationships and Revenue
I just finished up recording a series of podcasts for Season 5 of my podcast — and I remember why I love creating content so very much.
Story.
Not to be dramatic — but STORY is it. And every time I dive more into telling better stories…sales pour in. I want this for you!
So, I have a question for you today:
When you sit down to write a blog post or record a video, or craft a newsletter, do you ever wonder:
“…what can I say that hasn’t been said already?”
You know there are bunches of people out there who are doing the same kind of coaching and consulting as you are….
And you begin to wonder…how can I create absolute 🔥content –
- that moves my people to action?
- that elicits a response in my audience?
- that reaches the hearts and minds of my community?
You can–WHEN you truly understand how to leverage the power of story in your business communications.
What if you could create captivating content for your business that landed clients, positioned you as an expert, and turned your community into raving fans?
You can–WHEN you craft story-based messaging that does 90% of the heavy lifting for you in marketing and sales.
One of the things I keep hearing from my community (that’s you) is that:
- You are either burnt out from content creation–and desire a simpler way to create it AND have fun while doing it, and/or
- You are looking to create less content for your marketing–but make it way better, and/or
- You want to get better at sharing stories that relate to your audience and ideal clients.
This is why Alan Cohen and I have teamed up to bring you this high-touch event in Miami.
Here is what the immersive 2.5 day story schedule looks like:
We will facilitate 5 interactive story sessions over the course of this event. Most importantly, there will be blocks of time following each session for you to create your content and implement what you have learned. We know you don’t want to return home with a to-do list!
