Did you know that facts told as a story are 7x MORE likely to be remembered? Telling the story of your business is essential to winning clients, media coverage, and attracting employees (no one wants to work for a business with a lackluster story). And while a success story is exciting – an “overcoming all the odds story” is even better.

In this episode, Marybeth Bentwood shares with us:

  • What makes your story compelling?
  • How to start seeing your product as a solution the media actually needs (vs. asking the media for a favor)
  • How to understand news cycles and plan your approaches to the media strategically
  • How to approach the media; where to get contacts, what to say, and how to follow up
  • And what to do with media coverage once you get it!
