Breaking the snooze

by Ted Cuzzillo on April 10, 2008

A friend who’s deep in the financial applications world goes into a lot of sales presentations intending to buy something. But he complains to his wife later, “About 30 seconds into it, I just about couldn’t keep my eyes open.”

Once in a while, though, some salesperson tells a story. Then it sticks. Then he can overlay the story onto the product’s features. Then it’s real. What a relief.

How very true

The story is everything. We learn by stories as children so why do we not use them as adults?

Nice one
