Storytelling in Sales & Inspiring with Emotions
Many companies still underestimate the role of storytelling; the act of telling meaningful stories in sales. We learn, dream, and plan in stories and can feel moved or inspired by them. We give ourselves, our surroundings, and our world meaning and significance through the stories we tell. Storytelling is inspiring with emotions.
Storytelling in sales
Too often, sales teams concentrate too much on themselves and on what they want to communicate in terms of content. Inevitably, they end up talking past their customers. It is much more important to appeal to the customer's emotions, for example by making them the protagonist of your story.
"We buy a feeling too"
Stories are especially effective when they evoke emotional memories in your counterpart. 91% of our information processing is emotional. This is because our brain remembers emotions better than facts. Your customers never solely buy the product, they buy a feeling they associate with a brand or the feeling a story may have evoked in them.
Personal branding of your sales team
While social distancing is part of our current circumstances, sales teams need to create a “social gathering” by creating their own personal brands as individuals. Through storytelling in sales, you tell your personal story and strengthen the bond with your potential and existing customers.
