From Sympathy Likes to Client Conversions: Crafting Stories That Sell Ep. 7
Manage episode 505167061 series 3674472
Every coach on social media has heard the advice "just share your story" - but which stories should you actually tell? Not all stories generate engagement, and even fewer convert followers into paying clients. This episode cuts through the confusion to deliver a clear framework for strategic storytelling that actually grows your coaching business.
Discover why you need both your anchor "founder story" and smaller everyday narratives to build a memorable brand. I explain why repetition isn't annoying but essential branding - people need to see your story at least seven times before it truly sticks! Learn how to create a comprehensive story file with different versions of your key stories for various contexts and platforms.
The visual component of storytelling often gets overlooked, but your photos and videos communicate powerful emotions without requiring lengthy explanations. I break down which story formats work best for different purposes - reels for emotional impact, graphics for clarity, and carousels for step-by-step narratives. Most importantly, you'll learn which stories actually convert clients instead of just generating sympathy likes.
The critical difference between vulnerability and oversharing comes down to a simple question: are you sharing to get support from your audience or to offer support to them? Oversharing serves you; true storytelling serves them. Before hitting post on your next personal story, ask yourself who really benefits. Your audience doesn't need perfection, but they also don't need every detail of your personal diary.
