Why You Should Have a Conversation and Tell a Great Story
Social media is the world’s fastest growing communications medium—not just for individuals, but increasingly for businesses as well. Internet marketing is in high demand, but audiences are tired of gimmicks. They will have a conversation with you and they will listen to your story—if it’s authentic. If you do conversation and storytelling well, they will nearly do your marketing for you.
The challenge is reaching that point of mastering conversation and storytelling.
What Gets in Your Way?
In my experience, I’ve seen teams and CEO’s who want to connect to their audiences—be they customers, clients, fans, or volunteers—but two things get in their way.
- Time resources. Build a social media following and web presence for the future OR manage today’s mini-crisis?
- People resources. Have your employee spend her time learning, planning, executing, and responding to social media OR spend her time doing what you hired her to do?
But these don’t have to be either/or questions. You can run your business and get help with the social media and web content part. And that’s where we come in.
