A key weapon in marketers\u2019 armory for doing this is storytelling.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||35px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>At\u00a0US Tech Solutions, we use storytelling in almost every communications program across our business because we believe it contributes to adding clarity to our messaging in what has become a congested communications environment.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2>It\u2019s natural for humans to tell stories.<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>Since the dawn of time, humans have used stories to educate one another.

Every business brand looks to represent itself as the authority on its chosen subject. In the 21st-century communications arena, that often means distilling information down to sound bites and conveying your messages in the smallest possible amount of space and time. To do that better than your competitive rivals, you need a great story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>Furthermore, if you find a way to message your product offering in the form of a resonating story, it becomes more repeatable, referenceable and distributable. This is the essence of why stories became such a hit in the first place: It\u2019s so much easier to encourage others to repeat your message when you can frame it within an interesting human narrative that links people to places, plot and purpose.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2>There are several core building blocks of a story.<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>Creating your story means stripping it down to some essential building blocks.

Partly, this is about giving your character a rich personality and background. You can guess that \u2014 in a marketing context \u2014 we normally call that a persona profile. Every good business story paints a rich picture of the personality at the center of the unfolding story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s important that your audience can quickly identify the richness of this personality, so look for opportunities to create sound bite identifiers that characterize your protagonist and that will resonate with your audience.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h3><em>Situation<\/em><\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>Next, you should look for an event or situation that causes your protagonist to need to get a job done better.

In the case of business stories, painting a picture of the learning journey can help your audience humanize the challenges and makes for a more interesting story.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h3><em>Aftermath<\/em><\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>Remember that last five minutes of your favorite movie where the hero or heroine finds the perfect match in the perfect place as the sun sets on the idyllic scene?

Setting out this plot will help you to test whether your messaging is hitting home with your audience. Rather than assume your work is on point, the better option is to test your story with a small focus group of target individuals to find out how easily they understand it. This can help you to come up with better ways to adjust the words and phrases you use to deliver the story.
