Storytelling Training

Train your team to tell stories in sales conversations that compel buyers to act

Use storytelling to advance the sale

As a sales professional, using stories fosters dialogues that ultimately inspire and motivate customers to take action. Building storytelling skills helps sales professionals create momentum that leads to identifying and closing more opportunities. Implementing both a process and the skills needed to tell an effective story will enable your sales organisation to overcome the status quo, make emotional connections, and highlight important issues.

Storytelling Training Programme Overview

The Storytelling training programme is an instructor-led programme that enables your sales professionals with the process and skills to tell a great story that will lead to more closed business. In the programme, we provide participants with a storytelling framework that helps them to craft the setup, conflict, turning point, and resolution of a storey. In addition to the framework, the storytelling for sales professionals programme focuses on two areas: how to build a great storey and how to tell a great story.

Sales professionals learn how to use the right words, incorporate data, use visuals, and discuss what gestures, voice, and expressions are best to use and avoid. The Storytelling training programme teaches the behavioural science behind why stories work and how they create an emotional connection to help to ignite action.
