Put the power of story telling into selling financial products.

They present actual stories, including many by Warren Buffet, one of the greatest “”storysellers”" of all time. These actual stories can help financial pros tap into the “”gut reaction”" of different types of clients. the book also includes special topics on communicating to women, the 50+ market, and the affluent.
Review:
In an increasingly crowded and competitve marketplace for individual financial services, the key to success lies in making that special connection with the customer. Financial planning too often gets bogged down in quantitative overanalysis: Alphas, Betas, Sharpes, Distribution Analysis, Volatility, etc.While these measures are all important in portfolio management and security selection, the key to winning the trust of the investing public is qualitative and personal.
People choose a financial professional based on trust and the assurance that they speak the same financial language.
StorySelling addresses this key issue of relating to the customer. The best way to communicate complicated quantitative information is through the use of stories: real-life examples, metaphors, and allegories of decision-making on a human, personal, emotional level. Ultimately, all financial decisions and the forging of professional relationships in the financial services arena are emotional ones.
Story Selling illustrates for us how to connect with customers on the emotional plane through stories. Bravo !
