Ep 82 – Carmel Finnan: Replacing ‘noise’ with interactive dialogue

Jun 28, 2021

Transforming ‘talking’ into ‘communicating’

When sharing your business story, when trying to promote your services and products, are you actually connecting with the pain points of your niche?

Are you communicating with them? Or just talking AT them?

Story is all about connecting and building relationships.
So it shouldn’t just be a monologue.

You need to think about who is listening – and adjust your messaging so they feel their needs are being heard.

Want to learn more about this concept? Then get ready for today’s episode with Carmel Finnan. I think you’ll find it really interesting!
