Many Sales Meetings Are Easily Forgotten

Course Overview
Engaging. Creative. Motivating. Long-Lasting Results.
Imagine a client or industry presentation. There are slides with statistics. And logos. And charts. Then the audience goes to another presentation. There are new slides with statistics. And logos. And charts. The audience can’t tell the vendors apart. They forget both presentations. The deals go nowhere.
Facts inform. Emotions persuade. Humans make decisions emotionally and then justify them rationally. Stories appeal to emotions, but, for a variety of reasons (or myths), salespeople can be reluctant to tell stories. “The audience doesn’t want to hear stories.” “Stories are only for special occasions.” “I’m not a storyteller.” “I don’t have time to tell stories.”
Storytelling2Win debunks these myths. Participants learn how to use stories to connect with audiences on an emotional level, enabling participants to influence, persuade, motivate, and advance deals.
Participants learn how to be agile, influential, and confident storytellers. They tell quick stories to illustrate competitive differentiation or simplify complexity. They learn to quickly distill the audience’s challenges and objectives into a Big Idea and to clearly illustrate that Big Idea with a story. They thread the story throughout the presentation and resonate with different types of audiences.
