Kate DiLeo – Stop Telling Stories and Start Having Conversations

Becoming Preferred

SEASON: 3 EPISODE: 9

Episode Overview:

Today’s digital economy has turned us into bullish broadcasters. We shout as if we are holding a megaphone in our hands, blasting out a multitude of messages, hoping to catch our prospects’ attention. We are equally inundated with messages that yell right back. All of this noise is in the name of storytelling.

Stories don’t compel people to buy, conversations do. And to help us develop and implement a winning brand strategy is International best-selling author, speaker and coach, Kate DiLeo.

Guest Bio:

Kate DiLeo is a brand architect, #1 international bestselling author, and the founder of The Brand Trifecta, the top brand building platform that has helped thousands of organizations craft brands that bring more prospects to the table, more users who click, and more customers who buy.

Kate’s approach is rooted in the belief that brand is the path of least resistance to revenue. She teaches you to eliminate complex and ineffective storytelling by delivering a simple yet provocative message that tells prospects what you do, how you solve their problem, and how you differ from the competition. The outcome? Brand conversations that convert!
