DESCRIPTION:[su_button url=”https://mdwbc.ecenterdirect.com/events/787573″ background=”#ef2d3b” size=”12″ center=”yes”]CLICK HERE TO REGISTER![/su_button] \n  \nOne of the finest ways to communicate and persuade a prospect to buy your ideas\, products or services is through the use of persuasive stories. When this is done strategically\, you can engage\, connect and empower in a way that is subtle\, but powerful. You know the best part? Stories are non-invasive! \nPsychologists and neuroscientists agree that storytelling is one of the best ways to emotionally connect and move people to take action. The key is to choose the right story in building rapport and helping your customers to remember you. It is worth-remembering that not every random story will work. You have to choose the stories that generate likability\, credibility and above all\, profitability. If you want to leverage the power of word-of-mouth marketing\, then this workshop if for you. \nDuring this workshop you will learn: \n\nWhere to find relatable stories to use in building your business\nThe framework for structuring your persuasive stories\nHow to master the metaphors in touching your prospects emotionally\nThe components of a good story\nThe four science-based elements of unforgettable stories\nHow to humanize and humorize your stories to connect\n\nAbout Our Presenter: Gideon F.
