This post is part of the 📖 Building A Storybrand series.
Today, I am reading the chapter THE STORYBRAND MARKETING ROADMAP from the book Building a StoryBrand written by Author, Donald Miller.
Yesterday, I read THE STORYBRAND MARKETING ROADMAP section from People Want Your Brand to Participate in thier Transformation chapter.
Chapter 13
ROADMAP TASK TWO: CREATE A LEAD-GENERATOR AND COLLECT EMAIL ADDRESSES
Email is the most valuable and effective way you can spread the word about your business, especially if your company revenue is under $ 5 million, and you don’t have a large marketing budget.
So how do we get people to join our email list? We offer them something valuable in return, something more valuable than the vague offer of a newsletter.
How to Create an Irresistible Lead Generator
To combat noise in today’s marketplace, your lead generator must do two things:
- Provide enormous value for your customer
- Establish you as an authority in your field
Email allows us to segment our customers by their interests and offer different products to solve their various problems.

How Much Value Should I Give Away for Free?
According to the Author’s, he said “we should be generous—very generous. At StoryBrand, we certainly give away the “why,” but we also give away an awful lot of the “how.” It’s never cost me to be generous with my customers.”
Where Should I Feature My Lead Generator?
Pop-ups, the stats are clear: they readily outperform nearly every other type of Internet advertising. Just make sure there’s a ten-second buffer.
