Here's why your students will love The Art of Story Selling...
Lots of people ask what the difference is between Storytelling and Story Selling, so let's jump straight into what Story Selling is...
Traditional storytelling in business is about creating the connection between you (your brand, products or services) and the listener. Storytelling can be used to convey important information, to entertain, or to influence. Take that to the next level and apply it to your sales process and you have "Story Selling", which has one, single, clear objective: to inspire your audience to act!
Story selling is storytelling with that little extra pizazz and purpose that appeals to your target audience, is consistent with your brand, and includes a strong call-to-action.
- Story selling makes you stand out from the competition, because you’re talking to your audience in a real, authentic way that no one else can do or is capable of
- Story selling makes you BULLET-PROOF from your competition because your individual YOU-ness can never be duplicated, copied, or replicated
- Story selling has everyone in your audience paying attention to you (in a great way).
Story selling is NOT sharing a random story and crossing your fingers that it will engage the audience and make sales. It has a strategic purpose, with stories that are designed to move your prospects through your sales process to become loyal, paying customers.

Here's what you'll teach in The Art of Story Selling:
Introduction
You'll start out with an overview of the course and what your students will learn, so that everyone is excited to jump in and get going. This module will help motivate your students to focus on the real reason they're taking your course!
Module 1 – Always Start with a Clearly Defined Goal
To craft a persuasive, engaging story, you must always have a clearly defined goal. A story without a satisfying conclusion isn’t really a story at all.
In this first module, you'll help your students identify their product’s unique value proposition and target audience so they can create their sales story ‘hook’.
Module 2 – Outline the Elements of Your Core Story
Now it's time to create the core story, which will form the basis of all the stories for the different stages of the customer’s journey.
In Module 2, you’ll have your students delve into developing a core story they can build upon throughout their sales process, applying a proven formula and a consistent theme.
Module 3 – Stories for Every Stage of Your Customer’s Journey
Once you have a core story, it's time to vary it for each stage of the customer journey. The main theme established in your core story will be the thread that ties all of your story selling together.
In Module 3, you’ll show your students how to map their customer journey so that they can incorporate stories into each stage, moving their customers from awareness, to consideration, to their decision to buy a specific product or service.
Module 4 – Where and How to Tell Stories at Each Stage of the Customer Journey
You have a variety of stories for each stage of the sales process, but now what do you do with them?
In Module 4, you'll walk your students through choosing where and how to tell their stories, using popular storytelling strategies to connect with their audience and motivate them to take action.
Module 5 – Create Your Storyselling Plan
So many stories and options, so little time. But with a story selling plan, you can determine which sales stories to execute and when.
In Module 5, you’ll discuss how your students can create an actionable story selling plan and measure the effectiveness of the plan over time so that they can meet their story selling goals.
Module 6 – Review and Refine
In this final module, you’ll share some additional tips that will help your students continue to see the best results from their story selling strategy.
You’ll also review the course and have your students plan their next action steps, so they can achieve the goals they set for this course.

The chances are your audience is already unconsciously using some form of story selling. Because of this, they'll want to make sure they're doing it in the most effective way and in alignment with their business. This program will ensure your audience members connect all the dots and are able to story sell in a meaningful way!
Storytelling is something everyone in a business does, from the CEO Coach, to your assistant. In storytelling, you may just be making a point, explaining a concept, or looking to connect with your audience.
Story selling has a very specific purpose - to move your reader or listener through your sales process. The story's goal is to get the reader or listener to take action.
Stories with a call to action that captivate and convert are story sales rather than story tales... However, if it was just slapping a CTA on a story there wouldn't be a strong need for Story selling. As you can see, you need the right stories for each stage of the customer journey, and that's where storytelling stops and story selling takes over. You're taking your stories to the next level to grow your sales.
The following are the learning objectives your students will achieve when you teach the course on The Art of Story Selling as shown in the Course Book.
