Make Your Customer the Hero, episode 116

EP 116. Your audience is busy and tunes you out UNLESS you talk about how you help them solve a problem they need help with. Sarah shares a quick tip about making your customer the hero in content (instead of your company) to drive better content results.

 

 

In my 20 years of experience creating and growing successful brand storytelling strategies, I have found there is one big mistake companies make when trying to promote themselves that may seem like the right thing to do, but can come off as cringe to your customers.

In today's short episode of Marketing With Empathy®, I will be presenting a quick tip to help elevate your company’s presence by not making this big mistake, and show you how to position your customer as the hero, not your company.

By implementing this easy strategy, where you are solving your customers' problems to help them be successful, while also making your customer feel like they are your number one priority, the content you put out will start feeling more relevant and effective to your customers.

Tune in for this and more!
