Lead With a Story. A guide to crafting business narratives that captivate, convince and inspire. Paul Smith. 2012. ISBN 9780814420300. The author has had a long career at P&G and many of his stories are from one of the best marketing firms ever. He has also collected many other in his 100 stories that are relevant in training and teaching moments for many of your situations.. A big asset is his appendix that helps you find the relevant story from a classification matrix. His story on what sales people can learn from their own purchasing department was quick and insightful. In our practice we do not often find the sales and purchasing departments sharing war stories. Content marketing gets real horsepower through stories, which makes this a very valuable book for sales and marketing.
