Storytelling Training Program Overview

The Storytelling training program is an instructor-led program that enables your sales professionals with the process and skills to tell a great story that will lead to more closed business. In the program, we provide participants with a storytelling framework that helps them to craft the setup, conflict, turning point, and resolution of a story. In addition to the framework, the storytelling for sales professionals program focuses on two areas: how to build a great story and how to tell a great story.

Sales professionals learn how to use the right words, incorporate data, use visuals, and discuss what gestures, voice, and expressions are best to use and avoid. The Storytelling training program teaches the behavioral science behind why stories work and how they create an emotional connection to helps to ignite action.
