There are three types of stories that anyone who sells anything needs to master:

The first is the story you tell your audience. This is the story we are most familiar with. It is a compelling and persuasive vehicle that you can use to get your message across with maximum impact and minimum resistance. It must be engaging and edu-taining.

Second, there is the story you tell your buyer or gatekeeper—this is your positioning story. This story is powerful because it allows you to position yourself the way you want to be perceived.

Finally, there is the most important story you will ever tell—the one you tell yourself. You wrote this story when you were a child and it has shaped your life, even though it is most certainly wrong! You can rewrite this story to shift your mindset and produce dramatic improvements in your performance.

This one-of-a-kind workshop is designed anyone who sells anything—products, services, solutions, or ideas. It is especially useful for sales and business development professionals, who have special needs for stories that can build credibility and trust, introduce their company and product, and create a picture of how their solution can change their prospect’s life. Participants will have a chance to develop their own stories so they can begin moving people immediately.

An outstanding sales leader will use stories to

• Introduce themselves and make themselves more likable
• Build credibility and rapport
• Overcome the “Silent Objection” and build trust
• Position themselves the way they want to be perceived
• Introduce their company and their product, service, or solution
  Communicate key organizational and personal values
• Paint a clear picture of how their solution can change their prospect’s life
• Move their prospects to action
• Dramatically change their mindset by rewriting their inner story
