What Makes a Good Third Party Story?

Click here for a few examples of good third party stories.

All great salespeople use a multitude of third party stories during their presentations. Some are natural born story-tellers but most have worked to develop this skill and follow a set of rules when creating - and telling - third party stories. Briefly, these rules are:

A third party story must serve a purpose – it must either hit a dominant buying motive or answer an objection
A third party story should be specific. We should use names, dates and places whenever possible
A third party story must be relevant
A third party story must be based on truth, and
A third party story should in most cases be about a third party.
