Fund Mgr: You tell stories to get people to part with money. A lot of money. Can you tell me how? Me: Oh, you want the slick rick can't miss money pitch that works on everyone? Fund Mgr: Yes! Me: (heart breaks) Doesn't exist. I have raised billions, but that schtick has never been my mindset and it's part of the reason it works. Pull up a chair When you aim for people’s wallets You fail Even if you win Because you didn't set out to serve You set out to sell Let's hit the reset button Lots of fund mgrs turn to us bc they think storytelling is performing Give me my lines, let me practice, I’ll say them, their money will appear I think you turn to us when you are ready for transforming Tell me who you are, let me in, I’ll shine a light, your stories will be clear You think asset growth is external, it ends with people “out there” I think asset growth is internal, it starts with one person, you, “in here” Is storytelling a performance - yes it has elements of performing The arc, the high stakes, the tension, the villain, the delivery of the story itself But it’s also a transformation Literally powerful stories are about your clients transforming But to tell a powerful story You have to transform too This isn’t saying the right thing It’s becoming the right thing Our authentic selves Owning our stories With all the quirks and tension and villains and transformation With all the attract and repel, meaningful specific v wandering generality I can’t tell you what to say I can help you discover what’s already in you Waiting to be said I can help you tell the stories you have within I'd love nothing more than to help you transform like that I’ve never felt that my job is to get people to part with money I have always felt that my job is to help people tell their stories And find each other The money or the sale or the deal takes care of itself Or it doesn’t Because you are not for everyone But everyone is for someone The trick is to find those someones The magic is in your stories Tell on #funds #capitalraising #sales #storytelling #storieswithstacy

Two golden truths of storySelling: Feelings > facts People > stats. Help your audience emotionally invest first. Then help them justify with logic. Those numbers, percentages, pie charts, and analytics ain’t giving anyone a downstairs tingle until you show them why they should care. 60% of the time, it works every time.

This New Year, I have decided to shift my focus from TO-DO list to TO-FEEL list. Whatever stories I'll write, it'll be written with utmost amount of love. Also... I have set NO goals for: - Likes - Comments - Followers I'll only: Post 5 times a week for 52 weeks. That's it. Period. Baaki sab khud ho jaayega. I genuinely believe it is the going to be the the most fantastic time start creating content. Lag jaao bas... #content #linkedin #storytelling #branding

The most powerful person in the world is NOT the President. It's the storyteller. A good story does THREE things: 1. Draws us in 2. Keeps us engaged 3. Helps us remember I'm convinced storytelling makes better marketers. 3 books on storytelling I love: 1. Creativity Inc by Ed Catmull 2. Storybrand by Don Miller 3. Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks No excuse to be bad at this. PS: I love biographies. The 2 that stick out to me are Steve Jobs' and Bob Iger's. What's yours?

5 steps that will make you a better writer ↓ 1. Block your calendar: You don't have to post everyday, start with 2 posts per week and scale from there. But, put it on your calendar and get it done. 2. Write in one go: When you get an idea, write the whole post out. Don't stop to over think and edit midway. 3. Now read what you've written and edit. Edit for clarity, edit for storytelling and edit for simplicity. 4. Once every few weeks look back. Look at posts that worked, analyse why. Look at bad posts and ask yourself how would you re-write those. 5. Don't judge yourself: If you aren't seeing the views and likes you wanted, don't judge your writing. You will get more followers, more likes and reactions but it's only gonna happen when you're consistent. And when you stop chasing it :) What more do you do to write better? Tell me ↓

Being a trial lawyer is a game of “Competitive Storytelling”. That game translates perfectly to fundraising venture capital. The two biggest lessons: First, it takes time to nail down the perfect story. I’d spend months building out the story for a murder or child abuse case. Test, feedback, iterate, repeat. I went to mentors, colleagues, and friends. The number of hours for a 10 minute story could easily exceed 100. Founders that do the same, win big. Second, by preparing so thoroughly I could adapt to how the jury responded. I’d read them and make changes. Many times my biggest moment of a closing argument wasn’t written until 5 minutes before delivering it. Preparation creates flexibility. Founders who prepare can tailor the story to the investor. But most mess it up because they aren’t properly prepared. The stakes are high in fundraising. The stakes in a murder or child abuse case were higher. Win the game of competitive storytelling to close massive venture capital rounds. #venturecapital #founders #storytelling #fundraising
