“Darren LaCroix and Mark Brown, coached me live during their podcast. What I learned in just one coaching session has improved my storytelling for a lifetime! The stories I tell on stage are so much more impactful because they taught me how to let my audiences “behind the curtain” of my thinking. Thank you Darren and Mark, I’m officially one of your biggest fans!”

“We raised the most money in the history of the event. Particularly in the ask, which is the place the story had the most significant impact. I appreciate your help with the story. “
Barbara Spector

“My story was discombobulated and not very compelling… and your program was a soup to nuts solution. It opened my creative brain in so many ways and gave me a proven track to run on so I can duplicate the process of effective storytelling over and over again. I’m JAZZED!”

How Darren and Michael Will Change the Way You Create More Persuasive Stories
Don’t Sell, Just Tell a Story
What if every time you gave a presentation, made a sales pitch to a prospective client, or tried to inspire a team member, you had the power to persuade them to take action?
What if you were able not only to describe the benefits of your product or process, but also give your potential clients or buyers an immediate experience of the success or the happiness you’re promising?
You can. By harnessing the power of great storytelling.
Using the 5-Step Story Essentials Checklist™ that they developed, World Champion Speakers Darren LaCroix, CSP, AS and his coach Mark Brown, CSP will show you a proven way to grow your business and transform your audience.
What’s the Problem?
If you aren’t closing the sale or inspiring action, you’re probably not using powerful stories. Do you know what your business story is or even where to find it? Without using stories, you’re just throwing facts and figures at potential clients; and they won’t stick.
But It Gets Worse…
Maybe you already know your story, but when you start to tell it, you notice people nodding off, disengaged, or looking for an escape route. If your story is boring, that’s even worse than no story at all. Maybe you’ve gotten help with one story, but you don’t know how to recreate the process to make all of your stories more compelling and influential for your target audience. Most people think they are good storytellers but have never been trained to know the essential elements from master storytellers. Great stories build trust and make people want to do business with you. Are you missing out?
“It wasn’t until I met Michael Hauge that I really started to understand story structure. When he spoke at one of our events and I first heard his six-step approach to story, I thought it was amazing. We incorporated his principles into our ClickFunnels software, which now has more than 70,000 active customers and creates millions of dollars a month in sales.”
– Russell Brunson, Creator of ClickFunnels and author of Expert Secrets

How Much Will This Cost Me?
What is a proven-process worth? What is your time worth? Working privately with a story coach could cost you thousands of dollars. This is no problem for CEOs of large corporations, but what about those of us who don’t have thousands to spend in order to improve? We want to make this education affordable. During the LIVE Master Workshop, you get two teachers with vastly different backgrounds (though both are masters of storytelling) who will give you the hands-on skills you need to take your stories to the next level. All for a price you can afford. You’ll walk out of this workshop with the first step to a better business. Darrenteed.
