Why You Should Hire A StoryBrand Guide

Written by Drew Belle Elsey | Apr 21, 2020 1:00:00 PM

You’ve taken the StoryBrand online course or completed the workshop. You love the idea of StoryBrand and can’t wait to execute the framework on your website and in all of your marketing.

 

But, how do you do that?

You have a business to run.

You have a team to supervise.

You are already juggling dozens of responsibilities.

Not only do you have to clarify your message, but you also have to:

  • Redesign your website
  • Rewrite your website content
  • Create a lead-generating offer
  • Start an automated email nurturing campaign
  • Gather customer testimonials
  • Produce a customer-generating email for referrals

We get it — that’s A LOT to take on. It can be overwhelming and confusing as to where to even start. You’ve invested your time and money in StoryBrand and you deserve to see that investment pay off!

That’s why StoryBrand created the StoryBrand Guide Certification. Now anyone who has been through StoryBrand can hire a full-service agency, a personal marketing coach, or a talented copywriter to create websites, email campaigns, print material, lead generators, and more.

All providers are StoryBrand Certified and trained. Every guide fully understands and embraces the SB7 framework so they can help your brand grow.

7 Reasons To Hire A StoryBrand Guide

StoryBrand Guides:

  1. Have been trained in person by StoryBrand.
  2. Can polish your BrandScript.
  3. Wireframe a website that follows the SB7 framework.
  4. Write a lead-generating PDF to capture email contacts.
  5. Create an automated email campaign that on-ramps customers.
  6. Write a sales letter that closes deals.
  7. Gather customer testimonials that establish you as a guide and create brand reciprocity.

And so much more. With a StoryBrand Guide, you can be confident your marketing materials will work.

That said, not all StoryBrand Guides are created equally. While some may have years of experience implementing the StoryBrand framework, others may be relatively new to the process.

If you're going to invest in a StoryBrand guide, make sure you do your research. You want to partner with someone who has worked with businesses similar to yours. Consider their portfolio, their reviews, and their certifications. Guides who have multiple marketing-related certifications (like an Inbound Marketing Certification from HubSpot) likely have a deeper understanding of marketing as a whole. 

If there isn't a lot out there for the guide, this is a good indication that they're fairly new to the game. In some ways, this can be a benefit. They will likely charge less than more established guides. However, it also comes with risks. Because they don't have much experience, they may not ask the right questions to get to the heart of your business's BrandScript.

ROI Online is a full-service marketing agency and was the first agency certified as a StoryBrand Guide. We can help make your brand’s marketing clear so your customers listen.

Not only was our agency a pioneer StoryBrand Certified Agency, by title,  but we also demonstrate excellence as we've hosted several StoryBrand Workshops for our community’s business professionals!

We’re pretty serious about StoryBrand because we have personally seen it work — not just for ourselves but also for our clients as well as business leaders in our community.
