What bad stories & flying cars have in common.

The other day I was watching a movie and it portrayed a future with flying cars.

I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of movies like that.

You know…

Back to the future, Blade Runner, Total Recall, etc…

So why aren’t we flying through the friendly skies yet?

The answer is…

Structure

The modern structure of our societies are built to accommodate cars, not the Jetsons.

Similarly, bad stories typically always lack structure.

Good stories follow a structure, like what I teach in The Conversion Story Formula, that gets your audience to open up and resonate with you…

…Leading to a flood of new people joining your program.

Bad stories don’t follow any specific structure. They usually just entertain the audience and the result is a few claps but no one joins your program.

Even sharing the best content on your webinars won’t save you if you lack a good conversion story.

Below are 3 quick tips that will help you tell better stories.

1.Re-live the experience

When you’re telling a story, re-live it. Feel it like you are going through it again. Go there mentally. This will come off in your tone and your audience will feel it.

2.Transfer an Epiphany

What is the belief that when your audience believes it, they’ll say yes to your offer? Use a story from your life that shows this belief to be true.

3.Saturate their senses

The more vivid you can be to arouse the senses the more engulfing and engaging your story will be. Get them to mentally see, hear and feel different aspects of your story.

This will increase engagement and make your stories come to life.

Add these 3 concepts to your stories and watch them work wonders.
