Using Customer Success Stories in Marketing and Sales to Sell
Customer Success Stories and Case Studies are powerful tools to use in marketing and Sales because stories get attention, encourage listening and sell!.
“Marketing is no longer about the stuff you sell, but about the stories, you tell.” – Seth Godin
Stories bring everything alive
Stories create memories. They bring alive real situations. They make it easy for prospects to understand the ideas being presented. And, as a result, readers see themselves in the story and relate to the problem being featured. Often they find themselves thinking about how they would use the product.
Suddenly, they find these are not just the words of a marketer …
Instead, these are the words of someone who has used the product or service. Someone who can talk about the challenges of implementation. And, how they were supported to get the results they wanted. They also found the results mentioned in the story were real, specific and measurable. Not just some bland “motherhood” statement.
As a result, prospective buyers relate closely to the story
Stories of success, carefully crafted arouse emotions, create memories, bring alive, are action-orientated, are real, create impact, build credibility, and educate. They produce peace of mind. Are way more potent than testimonials as they capture real people, real situations, authentic experiences, real problems, practical solutions, actual results, outcomes, and benefits.
Customers want results
They want more leads, sales, profits, performance, productivity, Etc. Customers want to buy outcomes and solutions. This is we why we talk about Success Stories, rather than using the more traditional term of Case Studies. After all, customers want to hear about other successful businesses, how they did it and what worked for them.
After all, it is well proven that Customer Success Stories increase sales.
