Now, the classic resource for connecting with customers has been fully revised and updated, making it even more powerful to prepare you for today's challenges. If you use the wrong words to talk about your product, nobody will buy it.

His proven process has helped thousands of companies engage with their existing customers, giving them the ultimate competitive advantage.

[Dutch; Flemish] - StoryBrand: Hoe een heldere boodschap je bedrijf laat groeien

Ontdek hoe je met een helder en effectief verhaal unieke meerwaarde creëert voor je klanten. OVER DIT BOEK Veel bedrijven verspillen jaarlijks kostbare budgetten aan marketing die niet werkt. Zonde van het geld. Maar waarom doen ze het dan? Omdat zij de kern van hun boodschap toevertrouwen aan reclamebureaus en grafisch vormgevers. Die weten alles van vormgeving en Photoshop, maar hebben nog nooit een boek gelezen over hoe je de boodschap van een bedrijf helder krijgt. Zo gaan ze helaas voorbij aan het belang van de klant. Die zit niet te wachten op social mediaberichten of een billboard langs de snelweg. Klanten willen weten waarom jouw product of dienst voor hen van toegevoegde waarde is. Welk probleem het voor hen oplost en waarom het hun leven zal verbeteren. Hoe je dat voor elkaar krijgt? Door jouw organisatie op de juiste manier te positioneren in het verhaal van de klant. Stel jezelf daarbij de volgende vragen: waar is de klant naar op zoek? Wat wil hij bereiken? En hoe kan jouw product of dienst daarbij helpen? Het ontwikkelen van een heldere boodschap is hierbij essentieel. De manier waarop je schrijft en spreekt over een product of dienst is voor klanten namelijk van doorslaggevend belang om over te gaan tot de aankoop ervan. Dat inzicht vormt de basis van de StoryBrand-formule. De StoryBrand-formule is volledig gebaseerd op hoe het brein reageert op verhalen. Door gebruik te maken van zeven universele verhaalprincipes creëert StoryBrand voor elk bedrijf effectieve boodschappen die ingezet kunnen worden op websites, presentaties en social mediakanalen. INTERESSES • Marketing • Storytelling • Meerwaarde • Verhalen • Website • Presentatie • Social media

Searching for God Knows What

In Searching for God Knows What, best-selling author Donald Miller invites you to reconnect with a faith worth believing. With humor, intelligence, and his trademark writing style, he shows that relationship is God's way of leading us to redemption. And our need for redemption drives us to relationship with God. "Being a Christian," Miller writes, "is more like falling in love than understanding a series of ideas." Maybe you are a Christian wondering what faith you signed up for. Or maybe you don't believe anything and are daring someone-anyone-to show you a genuine example of authentic faith. Somewhere beyond the self-help formulas, fancy marketing, and easy promises there is a life-changing experience with God waiting. Searching for God Knows What weaves together beautiful stories and fresh perspectives on the Bible to show one man's journey to find it. "Like a shaken snow globe, Donald Miller's newest collection of essays creates a swirl of ideas about the Christian life that eventually crystallize into a lovely landscape . . . [He] is one of the evangelical book market's most creative writers." -Christianity Today "If you have felt that Jesus is someone you respect and admire-but Christianity is something that repels you-Searching for God Knows What will give you hope that you still can follow Jesus and be part of a church without the trappings of organized religion." -Dan Kimball Author of The Emerging Church and Pastor of Vintage Faith Church, Santa Cruz, CA "For fans of Blue Like Jazz, I doubt you will be disappointed. Donald Miller writes with the wit and vulnerability that you expect. He perfectly illustrates important themes in a genuine and humorous manner . . . For those who would be reading Miller for the first time, this would be a great start." -Relevant

Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

'I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened.' ?Donald Miller In Donald Miller's early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God. For anyone wondering if the Christian faith is still relevant in a postmodern culture. For anyone thirsting for a genuine encounter with a God who is real. For anyone yearning for a renewed sense of passion in life. Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.

Scary Close: Dropping the Act and Finding True Intimacy

After decades of failed relationships and painful drama, Donald Miller decided he’d had enough. Impressing people wasn’t helping him connect with anyone. He’d built a life of public isolation, yet he dreamed of meaningful relationships. So at forty years old he made a scary decision: to be himself no matter what it cost. From the author of Blue Like Jazz comes a book about the risk involved in choosing to impress fewer people and connect with more, about the freedom that comes when we stop acting and start loving. It is a story about knocking down old walls to create a healthy mind, a strong family, and a satisfying career. And it all feels like a conversation with the best kind of friend: smart, funny, true, important. Scary Close is Donald Miller at his best.
