ALSO... Storytelling for persuasion and positioning - Roland Eva 

Customers do not buy a brand or logo as much as they buy into a set of values. And there’s no better way to reveal a company’s values than through the stories that led to the company being founded and the stories that fuel the people that lead it and continue to ignite the passion of the people that work there. 

Customers want to know where a product comes from, who the people are behind it, and how committed they are to deliver a quality product.

Stories connect 2 human beings in a deep meaningful and memorable way. Stories inspire people in a lasting way. Through stories the reader or listener sells themselves... so you are simply giving them the opportunity to buy. 

During Roland's presentation he will show you:

• The perfect networking introduction that will make people say “Wow, tell me more”
• How to uncover your thrilling, inspirational story… even if you think you’ve lived the most boring life in town!
• The simple 5-step system to tell an inspiring personal story
• How to use your personal story to attract more JV finance and build your property empire without any of your own money!
