#159: From Complicated to Concise—The Formula for a Flawless Marketing Pitch

Why does talking about your business sometimes feel like explaining rocket science to a 5-year-old? If your message is drowning in technical terms or marketing speak, you might just be alienating your audience instead of drawing them in. Countless businesses find themselves tangled in jargon that might impress a fellow expert but leaves potential customers scratching their heads. Cutting through this complexity and speaking directly to your audience’s needs can be the game-changer your business is looking for. But how exactly do you do that?   In this week’s episode, hosts Dr. JJ Peterson and April Sunshine Hawkins chat with Curt Stockwell, a StoryBrand Certified Guide and the owner of Well Dressed Walrus, a marketing agency based in Spokane, Washington. They dive into the magic of the one-liner, a succinct formula that neatly packages your customer’s problem, your solution, and the benefits they can expect. You’ll learn how to simplify your message in a way that puts your customer right at the heart of your story. Listen in and find out how to craft a one-liner that will transform your marketing efforts, making them more understandable and engaging for everyone!   Contact StoryBrand Certified guide Curt Stockwell directly at MarketingMadeSimple.com/Curt-Stockwell.   --   Needing to clarify your message so more customers engage?
