We are all looking for better ways to sell.

Better ways to build relationships with our clients. Better ways to understand their needs. Better ways to communicate our products and services with impact.

We all want to stand out from our competitors.

Anecdote's Storytelling for Sales Program develop's your story skills to do exactly that.

There are now only 2 days to go before we run our first Storytelling for Sales public workshop here in Melbourne this Wednesday (the 20th March 2013).

Tickets for this special workshop are only $695, but there are only a few places left, so you'll need to be in quick.

To register please go here.

We're very excited to announce that we'll be running our popular Storytelling for Leaders program in London on Monday, 17th June 2013.

This opportunity doesn't present itself that often, so we hope you can join us. Early-bird tickets are on sale until the 12th April.

Continuing our series of public workshops in 2013, we're really excited about running our Storytelling for Sales program in Melbourne on Wednesday, 20th March 2013.

Great sales people are great storytellers. But we often assume this a natural gift that you either have, or you don’t. It’s not the case. We can all use the natural power of stories to sell.

Our program will show you how you can systematically harness the natural power of stories to create connection with, understand the needs of, and communicate clearer with your clients.

Gatner recently put sixty people from their sales team through this program to kick off the new year. Here's what they said about it ...

"The session was high energy, hands-on and practical. My team loved it. At Gartner we're excellent at training our people on the left brain approach. But Anecdote and storytelling gives us the right brain, the emotion that's so important in selling. I highly recommend it."

— Regional Vice President, Australia & New Zealand

Tickets for this workshop are $695. There are only four places left so don't delay. Register now »

We've been privileged to have had the opportunity to run our workshops right around the globe, but we don't get the chance to do it quite as often as we'd like.

So, to reach out to a broader audience, we thought it would be worthwhile to offer a version of our popular Storytelling for Leaders workshop online as a webinar.

We're hoping you can join us for this webinar to see how working with stories can help you and your leaders to influence, build engagement and inspire people to take action.

You'll get to spend 75 minutes with Shawn Callahan, Founder and Director of Anecdote, where he'll share some of his experiences and what he's learnt from working with some of the world's top companies such as IBM, Shell, AMP and KPMG developing their storytelling and leadership capabilities.

The webinar will teach you how to tap into the power of storytelling in three ways:

1. Communication – how to get your message to stick
2. Influence and persuasion – how to change behaviour
3. Insight and empowerment – how to understand what’s really going on

It will be interactive, with a mixture of presentations scattered with the opportunity for questions and answers to address your challenges.

Tickets for this webinar are A$129 which also includes the first module (Continuing to build your story-spotting skills) from our Storytelling for Leaders Deliberate Practice Program.

We're doing this webinar twice, one timed for North America and the other for the Europe. Just click on the link of the webinar you want to attend and fill in your details.
