What’s Your Story? Branding your start-up to connect with your target - MaRS ...MaRS Discovery District
Brenda van Ginkel will show how to develop a compelling story that builds on your value proposition and positioning. Understanding your audience is key to creating a brand that resonates with the people you want to reach.
True commercial insight is hard to create. It requires an intensive study of your ideal customer. Once it is created, salespeople must learn how to sell differently (consultatively) and sales managers have a role to play in changing behavior.
This presentation uses ideas from "The Challenger Customer" to illustrate why true commercial insight is so important. It discusses a way to capture commercial insight and convert that into a visual story or whiteboard to enable salespeople to challenge status-quo thinking and create new opportunities through story and conversation - not presentation.
If you sell to the corporate marketing, having a strong value proposition is critical.
It helps you set up meetings with crazy-busy prospects. And, it helps them understand the value they get from changing from the status quo -- something they're loathe to do.
In this presentation, you'll discover how to craft powerful, customer-enticing value propositions that change everything.
