Because it is told on its own. A story that speaks blends our value proposition with the client’s problem, in their own words. The module teaches how to build these stories, and how to use them to open other markets rather than staying in reaction mode. What your tools add: captured conversations become the raw material for these stories, with the exact words the client used. This is what we call the gearing: your people, your processes, your methods and your tools driving each other, with as little friction as possible. We work on this part separately, in advisory, before the training or after.
It is telling your value proposition through your client’s problem, in a story they recognise as their own. A good sales story has a character who resembles the person you are talking to, a situation they are living, a turning point, and a result they can picture. It is remembered, repeated internally by your contact, and it opens doors a product presentation does not open. The module teaches how to find these stories, shape them and deliver them.
In your conversations with them. Every meeting contains a sentence, a situation, a word the client used to describe their problem. When those conversations are captured, dictated or transcribed, they become raw material: stories told in the clients’ own words, not in yours. It is also what makes it possible to move towards new markets with a story that speaks to them, rather than staying in reaction to the requests that come in.
