Storytelling 4 Steps to Telling Your Story Now

Do more business and make more sales by sharing your story instead of features and benefits. Telling your story creates and bond with the customer. If they know where you’re coming from, literally and figuratively, they will trust you. 

There are easy steps to building your story the right way. In this episode, Geoffrey Berwind shares the “v” technique, which is key to every great story, book, or movie dating back to Socrates and Plato.

The Steps are simple (see my had written diagram that I did while working with Geoffrey on the podcast):

  1. Scene 1: Context and background ending with an incident

  2. Scene 2: The calamity, the disruption the fall

  3. Scene 3: The epiphany, the light bulb moment, the hero’s journey

  4. Scene 4: Your mission now based on your experience
