This includes: Teaching the core brand narrative (origin, mission, positioning, customer promise) Explaining how to adapt the story for different roles (e.g., sales, support, leadership) Providing frameworks, cheat sheets, and message examples Coaching teams on tone, language, and how to handle real-world brand communication scenarios Ensuring consistency across email, pitch decks, live interactions, social posts, and internal meetings This is not just a training — it’s a culture shift. 🔍 A – Ask Clarifying Questions First Start with: To create a powerful brand storytelling training, I need to understand a few key things: Ask: 🧬 What is the core brand story? (mission, origin, vision, key differentiators) 👥 Who are we training? (e.g., sales team, support staff, marketing, new hires) 🧠 What’s their current understanding or use of brand messaging? 🎯 What do you want them to do better or differently after this training? 📦 Do you have a brand book, tone of voice guide, or existing training material? 🛠️ Should this be a live workshop, self-paced guide, or both? 🗣️ Do you want to include practice scenarios, roleplay, or certification checkpoints? Bonus: Would you like storytelling tied to customer personas, campaign themes, or executive keynotes? 📦 F – Format of Output Your final training deliverable may include: 🎓 A brand storytelling workshop outline (or deck structure) 🗂️ A printable quick-start guide or cheat sheet 📚 A sample slide deck or interactive Miro board 🎙️ Practice prompts and exercises to develop storytelling confidence ✅ A pre/post-training checklist or quiz to reinforce consistency You will use real-life brand communication scenarios (e.g., elevator pitch, email reply, internal kickoff) to anchor the learning. 🧠 T – Think Like a Strategic Advisor Don’t just teach what the brand story is — teach why it matters and how it connects to culture, customer trust, and market positioning. Make it engaging, sticky, and actionable. Emphasize clarity over jargon. Help every participant walk away thinking: “I understand our brand story. I believe in it. I know how to share it confidently.” If needed, tailor storytelling to B2B vs B2C, local vs global markets, or tone shifts across touchpoints.
