Telling the right story, the right way, can lead to more clients and more sales.
You don't have to come up with a story that keeps you in suspense--a story that could be made into a movie or a slick Superbowl commercial.
The selling story for a solopreneur calls for two key ingredients. You don't have to dig into your life story to come up with edge-of-the-seat excitement. In this episode, I'll share two ways you can tweak your story to turn listeners into buyers.
You will discover...
...the two tricks to get increasing sales from your story
...when a memorable story can work effectively to explain a concept (but not be a selling story)
...the trap to avoid when you share your client's problem with your audience
...the one element to include when you describe your solution
...some good examples of solutions that could become great stories

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
