Why Storytelling Works in Business

Humans make decisions emotionally and justify them with logic. That means your personal journey — your purpose, your struggles, your wins — is what pulls people in. In a noisy digital world, authenticity is your competitive edge.

Where to Use Your Story for Maximum Impact

• Website About Page
• Sales presentations
• Email welcome sequences
• Social media posts
• Podcast appearances
• Speaking engagements
• Intro videos

When you use storytelling consistently, people feel like they know you — and trust you before you ever sell them anything.
