The 'Art' of Storytelling for Salespeople

Description

This course is designed to build the confidence of salespeople to be able to use powerful stories & to help engage customers and clients, using the carefully crafted and ages-old skill of storytelling. We are all enthralled by the power of stories that have always connected with us at a deep level. The best stories are far more than simple escapism. They unite us, move us, instruct, and inspire us to act. 

Most stories are tales of tension and release...of facing trials and ultimately overcoming them. In this way, stories speak to our need for courage, vision, teamwork, facing fears and conquering adversity. What we really respond to is the clarity which a well-told tale can bring. It reflects our own situation in simple, inarguable ways. We live in a volatile, and complex business world, so now more than ever we need to ‘cut through the noise’, gain attention, and galvanise others to join us in our goals. The simple, illuminating power of a story helps us do just that.

This course delves deep into the ages-old art form of storytelling in which people pass on nuanced messages to one another in the form of stories or tales. These stories help us to engage one another, to build fellowship, create trust and give reassurance, which are all vital for sales people to succeed over time.
