Are you ready to stand out from your competition and become the person everyone knows, likes and trusts enough to buy from? If so, attend the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce's First Friday Breakfast in May.
Story expert and marketing strategist Sandra Millers Younger will reveal how some of the business-?building "secrets" you already posses can "magnetize your message" and boost sales, without hype or pressure tactics.
In this fascinating presentation, you'll learn:
• Scientific and technological reasons why the ancient skill of storytelling has become today's leading-?edge marketing and sales approach.
• How to discover your own or your company's signature story, the one that builds trust and boosts sales among your perfect prospects.
• Why how you tell a story is just as important as what story you tell.
• How to story-?charge your whole business to attract and convert ideal clients, improve their results, and optimize your profits.
At the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and Syracuse University, where she earned degrees in English and journalism, Sandra studied stories, what makes the great ones great, how to find them, and how to share them in powerful ways that make a difference in the world.
She's since told thousands of stories as a journalist, culminating in her best-?selling book, "The Fire Outside My Window: A Survivor Tells the True Story of California's Epic Cedar Fire." Now, as founder and chief story strategist at Strategic Story Solutions, Sandra shows entrepreneurs and other business leaders how to unlock the power of their own stories to build trust, boost sales and change the world.
