Part 1: Storytelling for Start-ups — 6:30pm

Here we’ll look at the importance of storytelling and building a strong narrative for your business. We’ll look at real-world examples of this being done well and badly. We’ll provide a practical framework that makes it easier for you to communicate your story and easier for your audience to understand it.

  • The importance of storytelling
  • Using Objective, Strategy & Tactics (OST) to build a narrative
  • The importance of a single narrative for investors, employees, and customers
  • Refining your OST
  • How to communicate your story better
  • ‘The narrative’ by Bing the Bunny: Act 1 | Act 2 | Act 3

Following the session, you’ll be more confident communicating what you do with a practical framework you can put into action straight away.

Part 2: Ideas to Say Yes To — 7:15pm

In this second session we’re focused on getting potential customers to stop and listen to you. Here we focus on your role as the ‘problem solver’ and the principles behind people saying yes. We’ll use practical, real-world examples and demonstrate how most successful sales avoid ‘the pitch’ entirely.

  • Your role as the problem solver
  • The only 3 problems to solve
  • Who to sell to using ‘70 | 20 | 10’
  • The importance of the ‘innovator’ and their Objective, Strategy and Tactics (OST)
  • First contact
  • Principles to pitch

Following the session, you’ll know how to grab and hold people's attention when talking about your business. You’ll know how to progress to a signed contract through ‘problem solving’ and not ‘selling’.
