Wouldn’t it be nice to attract your ideal clients without having to send hundreds of proposals and spend countless hours on sales calls?

Mark Leruste joins me in this episode to share his strategies for doing just that. Mark is the king of ‘Storyselling’. His TED Talk, ‘What they don’t tell you about entrepreneurship’ has amassed over one million views, and he gets paid five-figure sums to speak for blue-chip clients like Google, Nike, and Adobe.

We have a focused conversation on exactly how you can use your story to attract your dream clients and gain the upper hand in creative pitches.

Storytelling doesn’t come naturally to a lot of us, but the frameworks that Mark shares will allow you to plug your story into your brand and start truly connecting with your audience.

Covered in this episode:

How to use your story to attract your dream clients.
The 3-step framework to transform your portfolio.
