Why should you choose this storytelling course?

As Tech companies see a shift towards the non-technical buyer, storytelling is increasingly a core personal skill for engaging with customers in a more meaningful and compelling way. To really connect and differentiate we need the skills and confidence to move away from traditional presentations and instead focus on crafting a great story. Those who are powerful storytellers can paint a solution that sticks in the customer’s mind and helps to sell up the value chain. Investing time and resources developing fabulous features and benefits is wasted if customers don’t believe your story and their feelings about your products and services remain unchanged.

A great story needs to do three things for your customer;

1. Confirm the customers world view; what they care about? What change they are looking for
2. Make an emotional connection
3. Deliver information which is logical to rationalise decision making

Who should attend this course?

The Storytelling for Tech workshop is suitable for those who must present and communicate, sell, influence, overcome objections and shift mindsets.
