Increase Referral Opportunities with Storytelling

Increase Referral Opportunities with Storytelling | Just Story It | Scoop.it

Have you ever heard of the old adage, “There’s publicity you pay for, and there’s publicity you pray for (free stuff).”? Attempting to garner free press is a daunting challenge. In fact, when I conduct marketing assessments for senior care providers, I rarely see storytelling being used in either print or verbal communication.

 

Here's a very good article explaining how sharing your biz stories generates referrals. Once very smart & successful client I was working with, who's business depended on referrals, had a huge Aha! moment when we were working together one day.  He realized that by not sharing his company's stories, people had very little to say about their services when talking with others.  Imagine how many opportunities were missed that would have grown his business bigger and faster!

 

Thanks for this article goes to fellow curator Gregg Morris (Story & Narrative).

Stories and Games Part 2: The Emotions of Play

Stories and Games Part 2: The Emotions of Play | Just Story It | Scoop.it

Nonetheless, there is a powerful sense that the fun of a game and the fun of a story are different in some way. What is that distinction?


I love this post because it goes into depth about the nature of play, gaming and story sharing. It's a great romp through the imagination and another facet about why storytelling is so powerful -- whether you are sharing a business story or just sharing a story with friends.


I've long said that storytelling is deep play.  This article explains the how and why of that. The author talks here about the emotions of play he has identified and how that connects to our imagination -- and the imagination of our listeners when we tell a story.


This post is Part 2. Part 1 is about Stories and Games: Art. Can't wait to read that one next!
