"Storytelling is Us – Homo Narrans. Storytelling is a uniquely human activity that occurs throughout all areas of life."

 

Hi Karen, thank you so much for appreciation my suggestions to you! I found this article...it seems interesting! Have a great new week! :-)

What a delightful article about storytelling as a tradition, the connection of story to sales, and how you and I are storytellers. This is a piece that will definitely brighten you day!

Thank you to Giuseppe Mauriello for sending me this. Both he and the article are gems.

A very good friend of mine, Real Estate Coach Darin Persinger wrote a post this week called Storytelling Isn’t Marketing poking some holes into how we can be quite guilty of buying in to the ‘new shiny tool’ or in this case the ‘new shiny idea’.

 

This post is from author Teri Conrad and is an excellent reminder of how storytelling is re-shaping marketing. Teri makes great points here:

Success in marketing is about applying systems and following through. Even if you have compelling stories, without a system very little is going to happen. People buy the Why of your product/service, not the What (features). Embody the "what can I give?" perspective. Focus on creating fabulous experiences for customers/clients. Know and communication your purpose -- get clear on that.

 

Points 2-5 are all about how you frame your stories and then convey them. I would add one more -- make sure you are authentic!

 

Using stories in your marketing can be very powerful. Follow these principles to ensure success with your business storytelling.
