telling stories the brand connection
| |
| Today, we're interested in stories, and not particularly interested in facts. Every story needs facts, of course, but they are secondary. The facts are there just to provide some ballast for the story. There are always so many facts that don't fit into the story, and insofar as they don't fit, depending on our commitment to the story, we have a tendency to disregard them. Every good story has some connection to the truth of our experience, but the story's the thing.

A Price-Value Matrix - A Cool Tool for Finding Your Just Right Pricing Strategy
| |
| Is the price right? Goldilocks tried three chairs, three bowls of porridge, and three beds before finding the ones that were "just right." In much the same way, your working toward "just right" prices and marketing methods will definitely pay off, as it did for me. |

Resist the Interpretation Addiction
| |
| Sometimes we adopt a story and unknowingly our emotions get swept up in it. And 99% of the time we don’t really question or inquire into the story we create. We treat our story as what actually happened. The problem, of course, is that the story influences, in part, the action you take in subsequent events. This article is about identifying the stories you may have created, working around them and managing them.

The Most Important PR Secret
| |
| What most entrepreneurs and companies don't understand is that often the main job of the PR firm is to find the right story. It's often not the obvious story that works, because that's the same angle that the competition will be pitching. Without the right story and tone, you have a weak campaign, at best. Finding the right story, that's what it all comes down to. |

Turning A 'No' Into A 'Yes'
| |
| I recently experienced a very clear example of Buying Facilitation®, when i used it to turn a failed buying situation into a purchase.
I tell a shortened version of this story in my new book, Dirty Little Secrets; it bears repeating during this economic confusion when buyers are having difficulty getting to ‘yes’.
I was at a client site running a Buying Facilitation® training. A part of the training includes real-time calls to clients prospects. In this situation, my client had requested that the team listen to me on a call first, so they could hear what BF actually sounded like real-time. They set up a phone meeting between me and a prospect who had called recently to say “Sorry. We won’t be purchasing your product,” after one year of 3 sales visits and 3 product trials. |

Make Your Story Add Value to Your Clients Bottom Line
| |
| The purpose of your story for a workplace audience is to improve the bottom line. Even in those employee appreciation programs where entertainment may seem the focus, there is an undeniable expectation of increased productivity after your story is heard. The question to ask yourself when using your story is: What is the point of the story and how does the story improve a client's bottom line? |

How to Maximize Local PR
| |
| Whereas I’m a big believer in going national if you have a strong story, there is a lot to be said for regional and local PR coverage. If you have a personal story that has a local slant to it, use it. Maybe a story as to how you built your business, or a story about how your product, service or company helped transform the life of someone else who lives in the community. The media loves transformational stories, so offer them one with a strong local hook. Always give your pitch a local slant. Remember you’re drilling down, pitching narrow, not wide. |
