When we listen to stories mirror neurons fire that make the audience/listener feel what we are feeling Oxytocin, cortisol and Dopamine the feel-good hormones are released. We know that oxytocin helps us identify with characters, binding us to them. Identifying with characters that experience a positive resolution in the story leaves us satisfied and rewarded, almost as if we’re experiencing a happy ending ourselves. Cortisol is in response to the action of a story—the danger, risk, or potential reward that the characters are facing triggers the release of cortisol in our brains. Our response to dopamine drives many of our behaviours and actions as humans – we need to learn how to use it to influence behaviour change.

What else should work if not the real stories? Sales happen through real people, who have the same colour blood flowing as of the buyer.

people don't buy products, they buy solutions to their problem and their problem is unique, personal, urgent, burning. A good sales story need to have your prospect thinking, within the first 10' 'hey this is exactly me!'. The client has to identify himself in your sales story, see the emotions (fear, concern, pain) related to the problem and see that you are telling exactly his story because you've been living it in first person. Don't say 'my product does this', rather 'i had this problem once and I was experiencing a big headache until i found out that I could solve it...'. speak about emotions, facts, real life. follow your prospect and lead him to the solution throgh his own way.

One of the unique stories I have been a part of at Hit 95 FM is - building a jewellery category. After pursuing the client for 6 months and keeping up with their patience, we collaborated with them. Our approach was to initially educate the client benefits of radio marketing and what is the potential that can be tapped.

As a sales professional we did not sell the numbers, we sold the idea of creating a brand via audio marketing. And that worked!
