More bestsellers have followed, many being translated in more than eight languages with almost half a million sold books.<\/p>\n<p>Veit Etzold\u2019s keynote lectures inspire not only executives and entrepreneurs; his numerous thriller-reading events are popular with thousands of crime and thriller fans. He appears on stage on his own or together with his wife Dr Saskia Etzold (born Guddat), who works as a forensic pathologist at the Berlin Charit\u00e9. &#8220;Berlin\u2019s spookiest wedding&#8221;, was how the Bild newspaper titled the wedding of the unusual couple in September 2013.<\/p>\n<h2>Topics<\/h2>\n<p>Human beings are born storytellers. But we don\u2019t use our ability often enough. Even though our brain prefers to hear stories than to process tiresome litanies of facts. Stories have helped us to survive for thousands of years. That\u2019s why the bouncer in our brain lets in the stories and keeps dry PowerPoint presentations waiting outside.<\/p>\n<p>Good storytelling, however, is not a matter of luck. Dr Veit Etzold can show you how to use the storytelling toolbox to successfully sell your products and ideas faster, better and more sustainably.<\/p>\n<h3>The trinity of storytelling for the 21st century business:<\/h3>\n<h4>Storytelling and Change<\/h4>\n<p>Only a strategy that comes with a good story will be understood and implemented by your employees. Storytelling makes your company\u2019s change initiative a success. Because: <strong>STRATEGY + STORY = TRANSFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Storytelling and Sales<\/h4>\n<p>Unlike classic &#8220;hard sell&#8221; techniques, storytelling does not try to &#8220;push&#8221; something into the customer\u2019s head, but uses the &#8220;pull&#8221; principle: Your customers hear a good story about your product; they realise that they need just this product and no other. Because: <strong>TO TELL IS TO SELL<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Storytelling and Content Marketing<\/h4>\n<p>Especially in the digital world, where the competition is just one klick away, customer journeys and hero and villain stories are key to differentiate your business and get eyeball attraction.
