Sales Storytelling Training Workshop for Revenue Teams

Connect with clients. Build trust. Close with confidence.


This workshop equips sales teams with the storytelling mindset and skills to move beyond pitching — and into conversations that build trust, spark emotional connection, and drive decisive action. It’s designed for teams navigating high-stakes conversations, long sales cycles, complex offerings, or relationship-driven selling.

Storytelling Isn’t Just for Marketers — It’s a Sales Superpower


In a crowded, competitive market, products and pitches alone don’t cut through the noise. Buyers want more than information — they want meaning. What makes your solution matter to them? That’s where storytelling comes in.

Storytelling creates meaning. It helps your prospects understand not just what your solution does, but why it matters to them — in their context, with their goals, and under their pressures. Salespeople who can frame their message as a story:

✅ Build trust faster

✅ Create emotional connection

✅ Shift the conversation from price to value

✅ Stand out with authenticity

✅ Inspire action instead of just understanding

Hi, I’m Jordan Bower — and over the last 15 years, I have guided more than 200 teams to greater organizational impact through better storytelling. I would love to work with you and your revenue team!

Why Sales Teams Need Storytelling

Storytelling is more than a presentation tactic — it’s how people make decisions.

Whether you're navigating complex B2B sales or high-volume conversations, the ability to tell the right story at the right time becomes a decisive edge — especially when buyers are skeptical, distracted, or overwhelmed.

This training equips your sales team with the tools to:

  • Translate product knowledge into clear, client-relevant narratives

  • Share success stories that spark recognition and urgency

  • Use emotional intelligence to adapt stories to buyer personas

  • Reframe objections through human connection

  • Lead with presence, clarity, and confidence

It’s not about spinning a tale — it’s about shaping the moment.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

"Jordan's storytelling workshop challenged us perfectly.”

Karen Stanton, Chief Marketing Officer, IFF

What Makes This Workshop Different


Most sales trainings focus on process — scripts, playbooks, frameworks.
This one strengthens presence — the internal foundation that makes every story land and every message connect.

Your team will walk away with more than tactics. They'll walk away with trust, confidence, and real-time capability.

🔹 Founder-led facilitation

Delivered directly by Jordan Bower — a narrative strategist with deep experience in leadership, sales communication, and emotional intelligence. No junior trainers, no fluff.

🔹 Fully customized content

We tailor everything to your context — including your positioning, ICPs, sales motions, deal stages, and internal language. It’s relevant from the first minute.

🔹 Facilitated practice, not lecture

No slide decks or passive learning. We use story labs, roleplay, and real-time coaching to help reps build confidence and skill through live iteration.

🔹 Emotionally Intelligent Facilitation

Sales is vulnerable work. We create a space where people can get real, try new things, and give/receive honest feedback — without performative pressure.

🔹 Strategic Reinforcement Options

We offer follow-on coaching, deal support, and refreshers to embed the learning and keep your team growing long after the session ends.


Together, these elements make this workshop a powerful inflection point — not just a skill-builder, but a mindset shift.

This is the internal skillset that powers consistent, trust-based sales performance — especially when the pressure is high, the deal is big, or the path isn’t clear.

Sales Storytelling Training: Frequently Asked Questions


  • Traditional sales training typically focuses on techniques, scripts, and methodologies. Our sales storytelling workshop addresses the deeper human challenge: how to create emotional connection with prospects that builds trust and drives action. We focus on helping sales teams understand the stories buyers are already telling themselves, then developing narratives that transform how prospects experience your value proposition.

  • Our discovery process includes a thorough review of your sales process, messaging, and specific challenges. We conduct interviews with key team members, analyze successful and unsuccessful deals, and map your buyer journey to identify critical narrative moments. This allows us to design workshop content that addresses your specific sales environment, whether that's complex enterprise sales, high-velocity inside sales, or partner-driven revenue models.

  • Absolutely. New sales professionals benefit from gaining strategic narrative frameworks that accelerate their development beyond basic sales techniques. Experienced sales professionals often find our approach transformative because it helps them access new dimensions of buyer connection that transcend the tactical approaches they've mastered. We customize exercises and application work to accommodate different experience levels.

  • Virtual selling receives specific attention in our training. We develop narrative techniques that create presence and connection in virtual environments, where traditional relationship-building is constrained. Participants learn how to structure conversations differently for virtual settings, use visual storytelling effectively, and create emotional engagement without physical presence. We also address the specific challenges of storytelling in asynchronous communications like email and social selling.

  • Most sales teams report immediate improvements in prospect engagement and discovery conversation quality. Measurable impacts on pipeline metrics typically emerge within 30-45 days, with significant improvements in close rates within one sales cycle. Specific outcomes include shorter sales cycles, higher win rates against competition, increased average deal size, and improved forecast accuracy. We establish clear success metrics during the discovery phase based on your specific goals.

  • Multi-stakeholder selling is a core focus of our approach. We help sales teams identify and develop different narrative frameworks for various stakeholder roles, while maintaining a consistent core story. Participants learn how to map stakeholder concerns, create role-specific value narratives, and develop "bridge stories" that help diverse decision-makers align around a shared vision. This approach is particularly valuable for enterprise sales with complicated buying committees.

  • Yes. The afternoon portion of our workshop is dedicated to applying storytelling frameworks to actual opportunities in your pipeline. Participants bring real deals to work on, developing specific narrative strategies for current prospects. For teams engaged in our more comprehensive programs, we also offer deal-specific narrative coaching as part of the follow-up implementation support.

  • We've worked extensively with highly analytical sales teams in technical industries. Our approach frames storytelling as a strategic communication skill rather than a creative exercise, making it accessible for technically-minded professionals. We use concrete frameworks and practice scenarios that make storytelling practical rather than abstract. Many technical sales professionals tell us this workshop helped them discover capabilities they didn't realize they had, without ever feeling pushed beyond their comfort zone.

  • Absolutely. Many clients begin with a single team workshop that demonstrates tangible results, then expand to a broader organizational approach. Our enterprise transformation program is specifically designed to embed new narrative capabilities across departments, creating organizational alignment and consistent stakeholder experiences. We've helped organizations implement storytelling as a core strategic competency that drives innovation, alignment, and external impact.
