Let’s talk about ‘Why’
Simon Sinek’s – Golden Circle
What
How
Why
What: The way the
sales process
normally starts. “Our
product is….
How: We then normally
go onto “How we are
different or How the
product or service
works” – those
benefits and features

Not all activities are the same
– the best must:
• Evoke passion
• Need interdependence
• Have something at stake

leave a lasting impression

Ways to be remembered
Six Principles that make things
stick
1. Simple – soundbites
2. Unexpected – break a pattern
3. Concrete – put people in the story
4. Credible – evidence things
5. Emotional – feelings that resonate
6. Stories – as stimulation,
simulation and inspiration
