Don’t Sell, Just Tell a Story
What if every time you gave a presentation, made a sales pitch to a prospective client, or tried to inspire a team member, you had the power to persuade them to take action?
What if you were able not only to describe the benefits of your product or process, but also give your potential clients or buyers an immediate experience of the success or the happiness you’re promising?
You can. By harnessing the power of great storytelling.
Using the 5-Step Story Essentials Checklist™ that they developed, World Champion Speakers Darren LaCroix, CSP, AS and his coach Mark Brown, CSP will show you a proven way to grow your business and transform your audience.

But It Gets Worse…
Maybe you already know your story, but when you start to tell it, you notice people nodding off, disengaged, or looking for an escape route. If your story is boring, that’s even worse than no story at all. Maybe you’ve gotten help with one story, but you don’t know how to recreate the process to make all of your stories more compelling and influential for your target audience. Most people think they are good storytellers but have never been trained to know the essential elements from master storytellers. Great stories build trust and make people want to do business with you. Are you missing out?
