In business, it’s easy to get caught up in talking about ourselves. But the real magic happens when we position our customers as the heroes of their own stories, and our business as their trusted guide.
Think about it: every great story has a hero facing a challenge. Your customer is that hero, striving for success. Your product or service isn’t the magic solution, it’s the tool the hero uses to conquer their obstacles. You’re the guide, offering support and expertise.
For example, Jon Snow has Maester Aemon, who famously tells him to “kill the boy and let the man be born.” Similarly, Harry Potter turns to his trusted mentor, Dumbledore, for guidance in his fight against Voldemort. In every story like these, the hero has a guide.
Why this works:
- Resonates: People connect with stories.
- Builds Empathy: Shows you understand their struggles.
- Clarifies Value: Shows how you empower them.
- Differentiates: Makes you memorable.
How to do it:
- Know your hero: Understand their needs and goals.
- Craft the narrative: What’s their quest? How do you help them win?
- Communicate the story: Use hero-focused language in your marketing.
- Be the guide: Offer valuable support and resources.
- Focus on transformation: Show how you help them achieve their goals.
Stop talking about yourself and start empowering your customers. Be their guide, and watch them succeed!
