    Storytelling as an accelerator of sales

    In B2B, products and services are often explained rationally. But clients don't choose on specifications alone. They want to understand why something is relevant, what it solves and why they should move forward with your organisation. Jan shows how storytelling strengthens sales conversations.

    What will you gain?

    • How to make value clearer
    • How to use client stories in sales
    • How marketing and sales tell the same story
    • Why a good story builds trust faster

    Content & structure

    Sales teams start with a deck full of specifications and end with a conversation in which the client recognises themselves.

    Jan works with real sales stories from the room: the pitch, the client case, the proposal conversation. Theory stays short; practice and feedback take centre stage.

    • 1. Why specifications don't sell

      How B2B clients actually arrive at a decision.

    • 2. Explaining value as a story

      From product to problem, solution and proof.

    • 3. Using client stories

      Cases that feel credible instead of promotional.

    • 4. One story, sales and marketing

      Making sure both teams say the same thing.
