Description

Too many businesses, whether large or small, established or new, make the mistake of leading with their own story. In other words, they’re trying to tell their audience all about what makes their business so great — and then they’re confused when their audience reacts with a shrug and says, “I don’t care.” How can businesses reach new customers when “I don’t care” is the prevailing mindset?

 

StoryBrand and Marketing Made Simple help you answer that question. On the podcast today, hosts Dr. J.J. Peterson and April Sunshine Hawkins are continuing their series of discussions with veteran StoryBrand Certified Guides. Today’s guest is Jessie Congleton, certified since 2016, and she helps us with key insights into what customers want to read in your marketing copy. What should you consider about your audience before you start writing? What should you lead with in your copy? What is the biggest mistake companies (of all sizes) make when writing marketing copy? With answers to these questions and more, Jessie illuminates how to write marketing that makes customers care.
