If you tell your story, only tell two parts of it. Why do you empathize with your customer and the pain point that they experience? And this is super easy. If you have a mexican food restaurant, you could just say, look, i, i love mex Mexican food. That's my heritage. I've eaten it all my life. But nothing in this town tastes as good as the food that my mother made. And so i i that's empathizing with your customers. It's the way your story can actually invite them to be the story because you honor them as the hero of the story.
You've heard us say it over and over again: your marketing should invite your customers into a story where they are the hero. And this means focusing on their story instead of telling your own. But we're going to let you in on a secret today. There actually is there a way you can tell your brand's story. You just have to make it all about your customer and solving their problem.
In today's coaching conversation, Donald Miller talks with Eddie Zingleman, owner and furniture maker at Tennessee Woodworks. Don coaches Eddie through how he can utilize his unique story to grow his business, all while playing the guide and not the hero, even in his story.
