Develop Winning Narratives: Sales Storytelling Training Workshop for Revenue Teams

Take your revenue team’s communication to a new level of impact with this immersive Storytelling Training for Sales Teams, guided by a master coach and storytelling expert.

An interactive workshop that builds your team’s intelligence to guide buyers through change.

Hi! I’m Jordan Bower — and after 15 years of facilitating business storytelling trainings for 200+ companies, I’m seen first hand how this crucial subject matter has changed.

Years ago, when products were simpler, sales storytelling was all about the pitch. Just a few visionary leaders, like Steve Jobs, saw the broader potential to shape a strategic narrative that could resonate in an audience’s hearts and minds.

Today, your pitch is just one milestone on a complex buyer journey — surrounded by millions of other touch points in a noisy, volatile, and hyper-competitive selling environment. To stand out, sales professionals need to learn how to shape product features, case studies and their personal stories into compelling sales narratives perfectly designed for results.

The secret is to move beyond the frameworks and scripts, so you can guide your customer through the emotional journey of change. That’s exactly what you’ll do in this sales storytelling training. By shifting your mindset and peeling back layers, you’ll be able to tell a new story about your data, impact, and value — developing new insights and putting them into immediate action.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

"Jordan's sales storytelling workshop challenged us perfectly.”

Karen Stanton, Chief Marketing Officer, IFF

Go beyond scripts and frameworks to develop a new way to think about effective sales communication.

Many traditional sales storytelling trainings focus exclusively on structure and frameworks, like BLUF, STAR, and others. These models can certainly be useful tools. But on their own, they’re not enough. They require underlying “intelligences” to be used to their potential:

  • Strategic Intelligence — to hone in on the goal of the message

  • Social Intelligence — to understand the complexity of stakeholder dynamics

  • Emotional Intelligence — to identify the needs, wants, and values of each audience

  • Creative Intelligence — to give a message personality and life

  • Transformational Intelligence — to understand and accelerate the process of change

This sales storytelling training is designed to help your team build these intelligences — and then put your new insights into immediate action.

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.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
