Your story is what no other company can say about
what you do and why you're different. It's what makes you, you.
NOT that feature,
function, benefit noise. That's explaining and it doesn't make you
different and it won't get you heard.
When I was a kid I stuttered. As a result I
thought long and hard about everything I said. It made me acutely aware of
how you put words together.
In
college I walked out of a class the first
day like you walk out of the theater after Star Wars or the Matrix. The class and later my major
(and what ended up driving my career choices): Reasoning, Logic &
Persuasion. I know, it sounds a bit dry or pedantic. It was
neither.
I've been an enthusiastic student of the process of human persuasion ever since.
Later I discovered a curiosity for another process: how companies grow.
My observations over coffee with customers were starting to get acted on
and appreciated as much as
all the gear
I was selling them. Humm, I thought, that's weird.
Leaving IBM, an MBA, years in the trenches of small business marketing and 20+
years as a small business marketing consultant. . .and here we are, you and I.
That's my story. It's what no one else but
me can say. A story told well builds trust, comfort and
connection. Only then does all that feature, function, benefit stuff means
anything.
If how you feel right
now feels right, you're ready to discover more:
