Episode 38: "Storytelling About Your Work To Level Up" | Jim Kean, Journi Health

06/16/21 • 54 min

Key Takeaways

Storytelling is such an important aspect when presenting your work. Whether you are talking to an investor or a potential partner, incorporating a storytelling flow when communicating about the problem that your company is addressing and your solution to it makes your pitch more memorable. Keep improving how effectively you communicate the work that you are doing and run a few demo presentations to figure out the miscommunication, flaws, and gaps in your message and work at weaving that into your story right at the start of the presentation.
For smaller companies, it is important to understand the processes and producers in place for working with bigger companies and learning to follow them well. Large organizations do not work in the same method and system as startups and once you understand how the big players work and how to approach them, you can easily crack into their budget cycle as a partner.
