Why Storytelling for Sales?
Today’s sales teams need a new approach to engage and motivate buyers.
You might wonder why this is relevant if you’re a business owner or a working professional. After all, if you’re an interior designer, or an accountant or a mechanic, you don’t need to tell stories, right?
Well, these days, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it’s your stories that are going to set your business apart from your competition.
With the arrival of the internet, buyers can now access information about features and benefits without consulting the sales people at all. Today’s professionals and entrepreneurs need a new approach to engage and motivate buyers.

Through our interactive workshop and practical training program, you’ll learn to leverage the power of stories to:

Spark instant rapport with new prospects

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about what to expect at a Storytelling Sales workshop or course? We have answers. Have more questions? Please contact us using the form below.
How do I select what's best for my business and for my team?
We suggest working together following these steps:
1. Determine long and short-term goals and objectives.
2. Evaluate where the gaps are, from where you rbusiness and your team is now, to where you want them to be.
3. Confirm the gaps are on target with the strategic plan.
4. Select the best process and solution to achieve the goals.
How long are your workshops?
The individual workshop lengths vary from half-day to a day and a half with weekly follow-up sessions for one hour per week. We work with you and your staff to schedule with the least impact on business. Our goals is to provide hands on, how-to information that participants can apply the moment they leave the classroom setting.
Can I measure the effectiveness of your training?
Yes. The specific measures will be driven by your objectives, which we discuss right up front. Common metrics include: decreased turnover, increased sales, increased margins, increased transaction size, new markets or accounts penetrated, increased customer retention, increased contract renewals, growth in “up sales” and increased referrals.
Where are classes held?
We can deliver training at your headquarters, in a hotel or conference center, or at your field locations across the country or around the world. We also conduct training at our own headquarters in Ottawa, Canada.
Is there any follow-up to the training?
Yes, we believe follow-up is critical. We include a series of coaching sessions to reinforce classroom concepts, change sales behaviors and improve performance. Typically we coach sales reps from 4 weeks to 50 weeks after the live training ends. This “immersion” is the best way to create the performance improvements you’re looking for.
Could I do just one workshop a year and still have success?
Yes. Many training budgets allow for only one workshop per year. We have found some companies are only able to do just that. Even one of our workshops will have a positive impact, especially since each seminar has qualitative measuring tools. Our seminars include pre-work and post-work assignments along with weekly outlines for 4-52 weeks to keep your training top-of-mind.
Is your training industry specific?
Yes. We believe effective training must reflect your company and the world your salespeople work in. We invest time up front to get to know your business, territory, sales roles, customers, products, services, market conditions, and more. Then we develop seamless training and coaching programs to meet your needs. Your team won’t have to make a “mental leap” during training to connect with the material we present.
Why do I need a professional training firm?
Professional sales trainers, sales coaches, sales consultants and educational experts are experiences in curriculum design and know how to train and motivate your team for transformational change and peak performance. They are experts in their field, just as you are an expert in yours.
Is this just another rah-rah program or does it really improve sales performance?
While we are confident you and your sales people will be motivated when leaving our programs, it won’t be a fleeting emotion. Instead, your team will be charged up because you have a plan, know what to do with it, and can implement it immediately for quick results. Our programs are highly-engaging and interactive, but they are also on-target to your specific developmental objectives.
