You went into creating that business with some kind of conflict in mind. You wanted people to hear out your resolution for that conflict. Today, you know who you are, where you came from, and where you are going. But does anyone else?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business storytelling is vital to the development of your brand because it makes you personable to a wider net of potential buyers. It\u2019s all about creating alignment through a human connection. Having a good brand inspires trust between not only you and your customers, but also your employees and suppliers. Here are the best practices for sharing your story.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Infographic: Elements You Need to Succeed with Business Storytelling<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_9645\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9645\" class=\"wp-image-9645 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-5-Ws-of-Business-Storytelling.jpg\" alt=\"business storytelling infographic\" width=\"800\" height=\"2000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-5-Ws-of-Business-Storytelling.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-5-Ws-of-Business-Storytelling-120x300.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-5-Ws-of-Business-Storytelling-410x1024.jpg 410w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-5-Ws-of-Business-Storytelling-768x1920.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-5-Ws-of-Business-Storytelling-614x1536.jpg 614w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/2000;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Infographic resources from Canva.com and Megan Marshall<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who&#8230;<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8230;is telling the story?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;is the protagonist?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;is the antagonist?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>What&#8230;<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8230;challenges are faced?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;is your unique angle?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;value do you provide?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>When&#8230;<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8230;is this taking place?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;was the last update?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;will this be relevant?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where&#8230;<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8230;is this taking place?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;is your future headed?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;can readers learn more?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why&#8230;<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8230;did this happen?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;is this important?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;will readers remember?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tug on Your Reader\u2019s Heartstrings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s think about the science. Every decision that a person makes is based on emotions. As a physiological response to a variety of stimuli, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/loc\/brain\/emotion\/Damasio.html#:~:text=Emotion%20is%20a%20very%20adaptive,heart%20rate%20and%20blood%20pressure.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emotions regulate our lives<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A person may feel envious that someone has something they don\u2019t, or altruistic when they are capable of helping others. When reading a book or watching a film, we get so invested in the characters that we may even cry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The emotion you need to tap into with your business story depends on what your buyer personas will most resonate with. Your ideal buyer can help guide you to understanding your own goals and challenges even further. Considering your character is the connection between you as a storyteller and your audience, they need to be at the forefront of your mind. By showcasing what your business means to you through an emotional lens, you will be more convincing to consumers and they will remember you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determine the Format that Fits Your Story<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being able to effectively communicate your business story on a platform that is intuitive for you is key. Can your target audience be found on social media? You can record and edit videos that tell your story, and post them on YouTube or your other social accounts. Are you more comfortable on the opposite side of the screen? Write up your story in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/2021\/01\/best-practices-improve-your-blog\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">well-edited blog post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or as a page on your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it isn\u2019t just about what works best for you. Use analytics tools to determine where your customers are coming from and which platforms they are on. Perhaps they are more visual learners who really need that YouTube video to stay engaged. Whatever route you choose to distribute your story, make sure that it is being <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/seo-services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">optimized for search engines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You want people to be able to find you, especially if you are a small or up-and-coming business that doesn\u2019t have a lot of authority yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accurately Reflect Your Brand<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When telling your story, you need to get personal. Rather than just highlighting your accomplishments, challenge yourself by transparently discussing the downfalls you have faced. Nobody is perfect, so while you want to prove that your product or service is, recognize that people are more likely to buy into someone who is like them. Aim to tell the truth, but make it fascinating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that your best storytellers may not be the business leaders in your C-suite. They could be, and oftentimes are, your passionate employees. Figure out who is going to bring you the most credibility in the public eye and give you the strongest return on investment. Consumers also have an increasingly significant role in business storytelling. Some brands, such as GoPro, are already known to reach out to co-create with them through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/2021\/10\/building-a-personal-connection-with-interactive-content\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">user-generated content<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (UGC).

Even the longest stories can be trimmed down to the most important parts. By the resolution of your story, consumers should have a solid understanding of what you are bringing to the table. In the best case scenario, they will have connected with you so much that they purchase your product or service. To ensure this, you should leave your audience with a message of hope that includes compelling actionable points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conflict of your story is supposed to eventually transform a character through a lesson. If you don\u2019t have a conflict, you are simply giving a pitch, which is not what consumers want. Instead, they want to know how you are capable of changing their personal lives and solving their needs. In a study done by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betaisthenewnormal.com\/sunday-readings-3-the-illusion-of-rationality-personal-value-beats-business-value-in-b2b-decision-making\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google and CEB<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, personal value was found to win over economic value, having twice the effect across a range of commercial outcomes. That is to say, don\u2019t just stop at what you are selling. Also, explain why you are selling it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Successful storytelling cannot happen if you don\u2019t value your audience.
