Be 1% of 1%

These people get sales

More people would rather be dead than give a speech in public. 


That means, if you’re at a funeral, you’d rather be in the coffin 6 feet under than on the stage giving an eulogy. 


But what would happen if people didn’t have that fear? 


Imagine if you sat down for just 30 minutes, and recorded a conversation. 


You would forget about the camera. 


You’d let yourself get into the flow. 


And the 30 minutes would fly by…maybe you’d even be there chatting for hours…


At the end of the conversation, you’d have all this great content. 


All of a sudden, you get clips sent straight to you and then those clips are put into a video post with a few of your written thoughts and posted right on LinkedIn. 


Guess what that does for your personal brand? 


It shows that you're willing to think through things, and you're willing to share that you think through things. 


So very few people do that. 


We all think through things, but very, very few of us share. 


So if you do share, you're one of the 1% of the 1%.


And that’s where you want to be if you’re running a business. 


Because those people stand out. 


And those people get sales.

In this episode, we dig into the kind of storytelling that doesn’t just sound good—but actually connects. Justin sits down with Renee Frojo to talk through what makes a story resonate in marketing and personal branding: real emotion, clear transformation, and the courage to be a little vulnerable. You’ll hear why your everyday experiences hold more power than you think, how to spot the stories worth telling, and why forced narratives fall flat. It’s not about perfection—it’s about being real, intentional, and relatable. If you’re looking to tell stories that build trust, not just noise, this episode will help you show up in a way that actually sticks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Connect with Renee: www.reneelynnfrojo.com To access our Free Video Mini Course on getting leads with video on LinkedIn: ⁠ https://www.dialogwith.us/intro ⁠  Here are several topics we cover in this episode: Storytelling is essential for effective marketing and branding.
