25 ways to tell stories that sell
Unlock the power of killer storytelling for your business
Selling can feel cringey, right? Many business owners dread it, fearing they’ll come across as pushy or insincere. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be that way.
With these story hooks, you can sell in a way that feels natural, human and authentic.
Ever read a bio, blog, or book and thought, "Wow, this person gets me"? That spark of recognition, that moment of connection – it’s the magic of a well-told story.
Stories resonate because they tap into emotion and create a sense of togetherness. They make us believe in possibilities: if they did it, maybe I can too.
Here’s the thing: humans are hard-wired for stories. Evolution has shaped us to connect, learn and make sense of the world through narratives. But in business, storytelling isn’t just about sharing – it’s about storyselling. It’s about turning connection into conversion, inspiring action, and building relationships that last.
The best stories aren’t just heard; they’re felt. They stay with your audience, allowing them to see themselves in your journey and your brand. Done right, storytelling becomes the ultimate tool to sell authentically, without ever feeling salesy.

A bit about us
Hi, we’re Manfreda (Freddie) Cavazza and Felicity (Flea) Haythorn, the co-founders of S&S, and we’re here to help you craft copy and content that truly connects, compels and sells.
As ex-journalists, we’ve mastered the art of uncovering the intangibles – the little details that make a story resonate. We know how to ask the probing questions, separate meaningful insights from the noise, and uncover heartwarming, human stories in the most unlikely places.
These finely honed skills now shape everything we do, from marketing our own business to creating unforgettable content for our clients. We don’t just tell stories; we weave them into your messaging with subtle details that make your audience feel seen and understood, showing them exactly why you’re special.
At S&S, we love supporting female founders and purpose-led brands like yours to create honest, story-led content that feels good, does good, and works hard, building meaningful connections and inspiring action every step of the way.
Let’s create the stories that make your audience stop, smile and say, “This is who I’ve been looking for.”
We know our hooks work …
… because we use them every day for our own brand and our clients – and we get results like this:
