When you’re looking to sell your products or services, it’s not the head of your customer that you’re trying to win. Instead, you’re trying to win their hearts. What’s the best way to do this? By telling a story that has your client or customer demanding to work with you. 

Dale Carnegie came from humble means but he was driven to be and do more. He completed high school and went on to college, but in that time he learned all about the art of selling. He’d always been an influential speaker and he realized that it was his ability to speak that helped him become an in demand salesperson.

He went on to create an entire school to help others learn the power of oration and he built out a magic selling formula that hinged on one particular skill. The one skill that all successful business people have. 

Listen to learn the three key insights: 

• What the Dale Carnegie Formula is and where it came from.
• Why the Dale Carnegie Formula wins hearts like magic.
• How the Dale Carnegie Formula can be structured in 3 steps.
