Show Notes
@Mike Adams is author of #7StoriesEverySalespersonMustTell and heads up global partnerships at #Anecdote, Story Powered Sales
We revisit the subject of story telling by looking at the stories required by buyers at each step of the buying cycles. We focus on memorable story telling through channel partner sales and the use of story to help prospects diagnose their own problems. We dig into several story types that create trust
- Personal story
- Company creation story
- Insight story
- Success story
We also rip apart why company stories produced by marketing departments are not stories; they're just a series of often boring, unrelatable facts. Mike explains the anatomy of great stories
- sequence of related events
- start, time, date, place
- unpredictable turn of events
- a central character usually a successful client experiencing the hero's journey
- the reason behind the story makes a business point
