Typical Flow of a Storytelling Training
Every sales storytelling training includes examples, case studies and interactive exercises that are customized to your team, based on the short Discovery that I do in advance of the session.
These customizations are designed to suit this general flow:
- The training begins with a disruptive introduction to sales storytelling. Participants learn that storytelling is more than just words: it’s about the experience created in the minds of listeners. Participants review examples from the world’s best sales storytellers, including presentations, writing, storytelling with data and more. (These examples are customized to every group. )
- Next, participants learn the foundations and frameworks of sales storytelling. They learn how creative problem solving frameworks like storyboarding and empathy mapping can develop new perspectives on how to tell their stories effectively. Then, they practice using these frameworks in structured exercises that are playful and interactive.
- From there, participants apply these new storytelling ideas to their real work. Participants work with case studies: real examples of their team’s work that are chosen in advance with the approval of leadership. These case studies help participants see their real communications strategies from new perspectives, immediately improving their real impact.
- In the final portion of the storytelling workshop, participants step back and reflect on their journey, developing customized and actionable next steps. Expert facilitation keeps the conversation on track, helping participants integrate the learning both functionally and emotionally. They leave with a new understanding of what business storytelling is, what better storytelling requires, and the inspiration to continue their learning journey.
