#1 Retention

Stories capture your audience's attention and build trust and rapport with your prospects

The period of human attention is around 8-10 seconds, and according to a Stanford study, stories are up to 22X more memorable than facts and figures alone.

Telling a story instead of the basic one-liners tagline leaves you with better chances of the customer remembering you.

#2 Invoke Emotions

A salesperson should make the prospect understand they relate to their problems.

A salesperson should be more than a person just selling the great features the product has to offer. Instead, a salesperson should make the prospect understand he/she is related to their problems.

The story by itself doesn't matter… it's the emotion the story creates that matters.

A person engaging using storytelling is more likely to close the deal.

#3 Build Trust

Faster sales come from having a deep understanding of your customer needs.

After creating an environment for your customer using stories, which captivates more than the need to close the deal, the prospect will begin to trust you.

This trust will flatten the path to close the deal. Faster sales come easier when a prospect trusts you.

#4 Makes the boring stuff compelling

Often our products are not as hot & sexy as Apple or Tesla. Sometimes a hammer is just a hammer

Case studies explaining how your solution has been helping a particular customer by showcasing pure industry stats are boring

No one really read them.

However, if you blend the same content with a story, it suddenly becomes much more compelling to your target audience.

#5 Influence Decision

Every salesperson goal is to close a deal.

By blending your product/services into your stories, making the story relevant to the prospects' situation, will help influence their buying decision to a great extent.
