10 Ways Customer Stories Help Companies Sell http://t.co/3JwGufQB via @Savvy_B2B...


Woo hoo! If there was any doubt about the necessity for crafting and promoting your customer's stories, then this quick post will dispell them all.


Customer case study specialist Casey Hibbard shares some research from Gartner about the impact of customer stories on sales, and then lists specifically how customer stories can lead to business growth.


As I'm rebuilding my website, I'm taking Casey's advice -- and hope you do too. 


Oh -- but make sure you are actually writing customer stories to share and not testimonials. Testimonials are critical -- yet they are mostly valuable opinions from customers about their experience with you. That's part of your 'story' but they often are not really stories. 


Soooo -- write mini-stories or storied case-studies about your work with customers to receive the full impact of your customer stories!

Aristotle's Storytelling Framework for the Web | Fabrique

A step-by-step approach, using Aristotle’s view on Greek tragedy as it’s core, that will help designers design solid interactive projects that engage customers in the right way.

 

[thanks to @storytellin for tweeting about this] and thank you fellow curator Gimli Goose for sharing it.

 

Here is a slide deck on SlideShare (55 slides) that explains web design through Aristotle's story structure/elements.  Some of the points are a bit obscure and hard to understand without really studying the slides. But overall, it does make the important link between storytelling and websites.

 

View this file and start thinking about ways you can shift your website to be more story driven. I think you will like the results!
