The Persuasion Principle
Because your message matters.
It's time to talk less and sell more.
"But wait - I'm not a salesperson!"
Maybe it's not in your job description, but we all have platforms of influence, a message we want to share with the world, and the opportunity to influence the people in our communities.
We are ALL in the business of persuasion.
"Who can help me?"
Good question. There are many people teaching outdated formulas that simply organize your talking points.
There are many people teaching effective communication and presentation skills. But if nobody is listening, what's the point?
Nobody is really teaching you how to truly persuade, and create an authentic emotional connection.
There are people teaching the art of story, who haven't really used the tool effectively themselves.
They stand on a stage and tell you why story matters, but you walk away not any better than you came, because you don't know how to do it yourself.
Don't you wish you had someone who could listen to your message and in minutes tell you what is missing and how to fix it? And be right?
There are few teachers of an art, who are also masters of that art.
If you want to learn how to be the best at crafting your message - learn from the best. The one who's actually done it. And has hundreds of audiences and clients who sing her praises.
"So what am I doing wrong?"
You might not be doing anything wrong, but you are probably missing the one piece that will give you the highest level of influence and persuasion.
EMOTIONAL CONNECTION
Your message is important, but without connection, you are speaking an entirely different language than your listener.

When it comes to storytelling and crafting the perfect message Kelly Swanson is in a category of her own. I have worked with a lot of coaches, and sought out so many experts but none have compared to Kelly. I return to her time and time again. Kelly has a rare talent, a unique ability to not only help you craft your story but actually shows you how to do it. Working with Kelly, I have not only walked away with better stories, but I walked away with a deeper understanding of how to craft a story and the skills to do it. She also has a unique talent in being able to see all the moving pieces of a brand and channel them into powerful words and imaging.

I want you to know that the time I was able to be with you was life changing! I have been in some sort of acting activity most my life. Speech and Drama in High School were my best friends. Later on I would find myself working for Disney World and Sea World in Orlando FL. I would then go on to doing guest appearances on The Travel Channel, A&E, Life and so on. With all this training and TV time, I never linked it to my everyday work as a professional Wedding DJ until I met you!
Yesterday I returned to a wedding show after staying away for two years because the clients seemed to be getting on the real low side of budgets and the leads were 8-10 at most with me booking maybe one or two. However this time, after taking your program, something told me I needed to return.
Yesterday was amazing! Through storytelling I was able to land 27 Brides that want to have a consultation. Largest number ever! I made several cry tears of joy and gave several others goosebumps. And all I did was tell the story we worked on in your session.
You have unlocked something in me that I use to be so passionate about. Something I was really good at and I can’t thank you enough! You are an amazing person and storyteller. We all were so fortunate in having you at the Huddle. I can’t wait to read the book you gave us. I hope you have a blessed week.
Kindest Regards,
