Episode 5 - Tell Me Your Story

Just tell me your story

?? Once upon a time we were being told about every 5 minutes that story telling was so important in our marketing.

?? Everyone posted posts about the power of telling a brand story, a personal story, anything to give your marketing some context. Did this suddenly stop being a thing.

?? Personal Branding became the new flag to wave and we got lost in the less tangible aspects of what we represent and how the buyer buys into this before they buy what we sell.

?? Theory took over from substance and I think it's time we regained the personal and story telling and started telling, as in speaking, as in using our voice to tell our stories.

?? Personal Standing and how we got to where we are, some of the white water along with the woke up and became famous stuff, some gritty reality

?? Why not add a voice recording of your story to your profile?

?? Links in your ABOUT section are live on many mobile devices, more people access LinkedIn from these than desktops these days.

?? How good would that be? Stand out, be a bit different from the pack.

?? Humanise your profile, entwine the listener into your world, evoke some emotion by getting your voice to convey who you are and not your keyboard.

?? We are not connected until we've communicated, voices fast track that process and shorten the distance between two people. Build that fabled trust and add some texture with the very thing that announced your arrival on this planet, your voice.

?? Go on, give it a go, tell me your story, this is mine on my profile ??

Very much look forward to hearing your story and having a chat about what you are up to.

Enjoy the weekend ahead, Platinum Jubilee here in the UK so street parties, ice cream and jelly and lashings of pop and cake ahead... ????????

Though it was fun to hear your story, I still prefer reading to be able to quickly scan in my own time.

Absolutely in agreement with all you say here, Angus. The human voice telling stories is an age-old way to connect people, but so few people use it on their LinkedIn Profiles. (All of this reminds me that I need to give more prominence to my Soundcloud recordings on my profile!)
