The Power of Storytelling
The old way of selling teaches that you need to push the facts and figures to your prospects in order to get the sale. But sadly though this no longer works with today’s generation of buyers. In order for you to get people to buy your products or services, you need to understand the power of storytelling. Because in the new selling landscape, the one with a compelling story gets the sale. This is what my guest, John Livesay, a top sales keynote speaker and author shares in this podcast episode. John explains how salespeople can become great, reasons sales leaders are not successful, what the storytelling structure is., and more. You’d get a lot of wonderful insights you can use to up your sales game when you listen to this episode today. Also, those who want a free copy of a chapter from his book, just text PITCH to 66866.
