Today we're interviewing the one and only Dr. J.J. Peterson, Head of Storybrand and co-author of Marketing Made Simple, which sold over a million copies worldwide.
Dr. J.J. has helped thousands of businesses clarify their message by using a storytelling framework as old as time.
Plus, we found out before we started recording that he actually has a contracting background. His family ran a concrete business when he was growing up, so he REALLY gets the challenges you’re all facing.
Today’s conversation is all about how to apply the seven-part Storybrand framework to a contracting business. How to position your customer as the hero of your story so you can become their trusted guide.
Episode Highlights:
- Get an overview of the Storybrand framework from someone who has implemented it into thousands of businesses.
- Learn how to apply each of the seven parts of a Storybrand to a roofing, painting, landscaping, construction, electrical, plumbing or home services business, with examples.
- Understand why it is so critical that you keep your message simple, and why so many businesses get this wrong.
