Sales and selling is somewhat a taboo to some people since they don’t want to be sold to. I, myself, don’t want to be sold to; instead, what people seek are meaningful connections and authentic experiences. As a business owner, entrepreneur, or a professional, it is important to understand that the key to success lies in teaching rather than selling.
By following this process, you can establish yourself as a thought leader and create a meaningful impact on your target audience.
Provide Context
Before you delve into the specifics of your process, it is crucial that you provide context. People will be more likely to engage with your message when they understand why it’s relevant to them.
Take the time to introduce the problem or challenge your process aims to solve.
By doing this, it can create a sense of relatability and piques your audience’s interest.
Know Your Business Process
For you to successfully share a compelling story, it is best that you understand it yourself. Dive deep into your business processes, industry standards, and best practices. The more knowledge you have the more authority you’ll have when sharing your insights.
Know that this is an ongoing learning process, and you should always strive to stay up-to-date with any industry developments.
Know Your Industry and Target Market
A true visionary understands not only the inner workings of the industry but also their target market. Research your audience’s needs, pain points, and even desires. When you have this knowledge, it will help you tailor your process to meet their specific needs.
The better you know your audience, the more effective your approach will be.
Develop a Compelling Process
Now that you have a solid grasp of your industry and audience, it’s time to create your compelling process, which will address their needs. Make sure you think about how you can simplify complex procedures and deliver value effectively and efficiently.
A compelling process should be easy to understand and implement, making it a valuable resource for your target audience.
Figure out how you can, in a relatively short time, create a compelling story.
Sharing Your Process as a Compelling Story
Here comes the art of storytelling. Instead of presenting your service or product as a sales pitch, weave it into a compelling narrative. Make it relatable by sharing your own experiences, challenges, and successes along the way.
Your story should engage your audience on an emotional level, making your message unforgettable. Make sure to establish yourself as a thought leader and see if it’s a fit.
I’m Still Learning and Enjoying It
Just like you, I’m still learning how to create that compelling story I will tell my target audience. And while learning, I’m also enjoying it as should you. Keeping these things in mind will ensure you can engage your audience authentically and improve your chances of success.
