How you communicate your story is just as important as the story itself. To tradies, their day-to-day tasks are just part of their job, but this is actually interesting information to potential customers. What you say and how you can say it can be the deciding factor between you and your competitor.

This week, we have the second episode in the Building Trust and Rapport by Becoming a Great Storyteller series. We invited Story Sales Machine’s Bill Mueller to continue where we left off and talk about the importance of engaging your customers. Specifically, he talks about the importance of knowing the deeper meaning behind their need for your service. He also suggested a framework that will help you get an insight of their behavior and how to produce content based on that. We also tackle how to make an appropriate call to action and landing page.

I have been listening to the pod casts for a few months now, I can't get enough of all the awesome content that you guys provide. Especially when you guys deliver it from a trade perspective which helps out a lot. Keep up the good work and hopefully one day I can afford one of the trade training trips.
