It’s All About “Know, Like and Trust”
People buy (Companies don’t buy – people in companies make the decision) from people they know, people they like and people they trust . We help them get to know us better through sharing stories about ourselves and by sharing experiences with them
How can you use your story in your marketing?
Write it up. Include Naysayers, Supporters, Victories and Setbacks
Everyone has experienced all of these things and they can relate to them. They are called paths of entry. People identify with different things you share and they start to Know, Like and Trust you.
The question then becomes “How can we get people we want to do business with, to trust us”?
If you listen to my podcast you will hear references of my past experiences dropped into the program. I want people to know them.I share life experiences in the podcast. Put on your web page. How many times do you go to a web page and one of the first pages you click on is the “About” page?
- Don’t be afraid to put something in your story that may bother or turn off some people.
- Your story can act as a filter and keep people away from you that you may not want to work with and it will attract others to you who will want to ONLY work with you.
Yeah! We want to know their story! Give it to them!
Voice it as an MP3 on your page
Write up an article and give it to new clients you’re just getting started with
Make it a part of the fabric of your marketing
There is nothing unethical about this. Everything in the story is true (Remember it’s all about “Know, Like and Trust.) It attracts clients. It makes them comfortable with you.
