A comprehensive series of "Learning Sessions" that focus on the mechanics of Marketing. Introducing ideas and processes that can be applied to improve the results from your marketing efforts.
Very often we overwhelm people when we explain what we are doing. Numbers, facts, acronym's and what makes us the right person to work with. All this is fine, but what people really want to know is WHY you do what you do?
That's a STORY. Very often it is an interesting, fascinating and insightful overview of who you are, and why you find yourself in the place you are today. People love stories... and... they are memorable! ... that's crucial. Humans are wired for stories.
It is a unique story (yours alone) that will provide ample opportunities for empathy, and it will demonstrate your passion and what is driving your project / business / charity.
... people pass on good stories to others...
Covered : We will be looking at different ways to tell stories. Asking the question... what's your story? ... How have all the things you have done left their mark on the person you are today? We will also be looking to create stories around the products, services and projects we're involved in...

Most of us do tell "our story" but it takes a lot to prise it out of us, and often only in conversation. This 'Learning Session' helps us crystallise our story and then explore how we can share it so that more people can empathise with WHY we do what we do.
What makes us unique is our story. Most of us get wrapped up in our business, promoting ourselves and selling what we do. The reason that people buy from us is not because of our sales patter but it is because they empathise in WHY we are doing what we do.
What is it that made you think about creating the business, charity, community group that you are now passionate about... what inspired you... People buy people... and people get involved with your story.
