Vicky and Joe discuss some of their favourite stories on this week’s podcast. Why are stories so important? Well, because we are wired for them. Nobody really remembers the facts and figures, but we do remember the story behind it. Stories help people picture themselves with a brighter future and this is one of the many reasons why you need to be telling stories in your business to have your customers take action!
Key Takeaways:
[2:10] This week’s podcast is all about storytelling.
[2:45] What are some of Joe’s favourite stories?
[4:00] What are some of Vicky’s favourite stories?
[6:55] Vicky hated history when she was in uni. It was awful and boring.
[8:35] However, you can fix ‘boring’ subjects really easily if you had a teacher who was a really good story teller. The same applies to your business!
[11:55] Stories are part of our evolutionary makeup.
[13:40] When we tell a story, we help people see a brighter future.
[16:20] Our brains don’t actually distinguish between reading an experience vs. actually having that experience in real life.
[17:35] Very few people are able to remember facts and figures, but almost everyone remembers the story.
[20:25] You need to get people to feel things, and stories help you do that.

Vicky and Joe continue their discussion about how to discover your ideal customer demographic through the use of….empathy! It is not enough to know their age, job title, and marital status. No, you need to dig deeper. You need to pull at their heartstrings, because no one buys based purely on facts alone. What does your customer do on Sunday and Monday mornings? This insight is valuable and over 90% of businesses don’t take this extra step to truly get to know their customer’s pain.
Key Takeaways:
[0:45] It’s Vicky’s birthday tomorrow!
[4:20] The more Vicky thinks about people, the more she realizes that having empathy just doesn’t happen naturally to most of us.
[9:00] Having empathy is incredibly important if you want to sell to people.
[9:25] We spend a lot of time speaking in fact, but that’s not what gets people to buy.
[12:55] You need to get into your customer’s heads.
[13:50] What does your target market do on Sunday and Monday mornings, and why?
[18:10] If your target market rides the tube every morning, well, get on the tube! This is research!
[20:10] Vicky learned an interesting lesson from the muppets.
[22:20] Don’t just ask your target audience questions, but watch them (in a non-creepy way).
[26:50] What’s the takeaway for this episode? Learn how to empathize!

Do you feel like you’re shooting in the dark when it comes to your marketing? Targeting everyone and their dog probably isn’t the best idea. It’s expensive and it can discourage you when you see a fleeting ROI. Many businesses understand the importance of knowing their demographics, but they often stop there. They don’t dive deeper; they don’t know what truly motivates someone into buying. That’s the difference between an interested crowd and a starving crowd.
Key Takeaways:
[1:25] Who is Gary Halbert?
[6:15] Who is your ideal customer? Anybody with money is the wrong answer.
[7:35] Vicky asked her subscribers what their biggest challenge was. She got a response back that was kind of ridiculous.
[11:05] Hey, by the way, Vicky would love to hear from you. Have you taken her up on her advice recently from the podcast? Write to her what your experience was like!
[13:15] Instead of spending $10k on everybody and his dog, spend $1k on advertising reaching out to a focused group.
[14:15] Think about your advertising strategy in terms of ROI, not in terms of how many people see it.
[15:05] How do you find your starving crowd?
[17:00] How does Vicky know she’s found her starving crowd?
[22:20] When you want to really discover who your starving crowd is, it boils down to actually talking to them, not looking at the statistics of whom your product is good for.
[24:10] Don’t just stop at the demographics. Dig deeper and find out what motivates them.
[25:00] Tune in next week to discover how to dig deeper and find that motivation!

[10:35] So, how can you stand out?
[12:30] For the love of all things holy, please don’t say you’re ‘passionate’ about what you do on your website. That’s just bad marketing and copy.
[13:55] If you’re the same as everybody else and listing the same things everyone else is, how will they choose you? They will choose you based solely on price.

We are wired to be social beings. We need a tribe to help us survive and thrive, which means we need to fit in as much as we can. However, in business, it’s almost exactly the opposite. We need to stand out and be different, but throughout the years, and centuries, this has proven to be very dangerous to do. Standing out too much meant you could be ostracized from society. So, it makes sense why you might have some real and deep fears about showing up in a way that’s different and eye-catching in your business.
Key Takeaways:
[3:10] Vicky’s new book is coming along nicely.
[4:25] Why are you such a scaredy cat, dear listener?
[6:40] Vicky has a recurring fear that stems from her awkward childhood days.
[13:00] As an introvert, Joe never really quite understood what the big deal was about being ostracized from a society.
[14:50] Standing out from the crowd is socially risky. Rejection is actually quite horrible for us as humans.
[17:00] You’d be surprised by how many people are chronically lonely. In fact, social media gives us the illusion that we’re connected to others online, but it’s making the problem worse.
[19:00] While it’s important that you fit in socially, it’s almost suicide business-wise to do that.
[24:35] Vicky is always skeptical about people who proclaim having a 6 or 7-figure launch. What really went on behind the scenes for you to achieve that? How many refunds did you have to do?
[28:35] Everybody has that ‘thing’ that they haven’t done because they’re afraid. Well, here’s your chance. Go out and do it!
[30:15] By the way, you should definitely join the inner circle group. It’s the perfect place where you can talk to people who finally get it and get you.
