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