15: The Psychology of Sales w/ Dr. Daniel Crosby & Stacy Havener | The Scientist & The Storyteller | What Makes a Powerful Narrative in Financial Services and Investments | Does Your Corporate BrandStory Need a Villain (spoiler alert: yes, yes it does)
Here’s the deal: stories sell. Powerful narratives lead to big investments. They also lead to something far less flashy yet far more valuable long-term – team buy-in.
Whether you’re a start-up or scaling, your origin story is the glue that binds your allies - AKA your team - to your mission. It’s also the magnet that attracts investors. A stale story just won’t cut it.
Today, Dr. Daniel Crosby and I are joining forces (again) because successful sales and scale are about combining art and science. We’re excited to bring you a deep dive on the art of a good story.
Listen in as I take the hot seat and answer all of your burning questions about what makes a powerful narrative in financial services.
Get ready for a deep dive on:
- Why villains aren’t just for the movies – how weaving one into your backstory could take it from snoozefest to a relatable, magnetic movement
- Real-life examples of companies with juicy hooks and villains and why they work
- Product-driven versus narrative driven - what's the difference?
…and so much more.
You never know exactly what you’re going to get when a scientist and a storyteller walk into a bar, but you know you’ll laugh and gain (proven) strategies that marry the left brain and right brain, giving you an edge in your industry.
