  • The information presented is easily understood and as a sometimes story teller myself in real life as I interact with those around me, I have used many of these guidelines in leading the hearer into a patch that follows into the information that I want them to hold in their minds and think upon going forward. I did see in this many things I had not previously thought to employ and I will be using them going forward.

    The classes shows exactly how to excavate the real human narrative inside your brand and wield it like a superpower. Having a a good storyline tells much about defining the value a client perspective view our your business and value bring acceptance and approved deals.
    Storytelling have a great factor of regenerating interest and support attention examples like customers positive review after purchasing your products should be a source for compelling a good storytelling to sell yourself to the audience who have the same problem you solves.

    แนวคิดร่วมสมัยที่มีความลึกและมีคุณค่าในเชิงการตลาดมาก เพราะช่วยสร้างอารมณ์ ความผูกพัน และความแตกต่างให้แบรนด์ แต่ควรระวังการเล่าเรื่องที่ไม่ตรงกับตัวตนแบรนด์หรือเล่าเพื่อขายเกินไป จึงควรยึด “ความจริงและความรู้สึกจริง” เป็นแก่นของเรื่องเล่าเสมอ

    As a founder pitching to investor,this course has made me realize that I was doing it the wrong way by being too fouvised on the technology and features but I have learnt and appreciated the power of using stories about my personal journey to connect the founders to how I arrived at the problem and how my personal experiences makes me the best to solve the problem
