Once upon a time . . .
How many times have you plowed through a dull text full of charts and statistics, wishing for a story to relieve your boredom?
People have always loved stories, but too many business leaders and entrepreneurs fail to take advantage of this guaranteed way to win clients’ and customers’ hearts and minds.
Do you want to drive home a point? Make your content easy to understand? Provide a model of new behavior? Make a sale? Tell a story.
You don’t need to write or tell a literary classic. Your story needs a personal focus and the ability to evoke an emotional response that leads to identification with the writer. It can be simple.
If you are a business leader or entrepreneur, you need to know that it takes more than facts to win the client or customer. You need an emotional connection, and nothing builds that better than a story.
