Storytelling expert Dave Lieber, currently a star award-winning investigative columnist for one of America's most prestigious newspapers, believes that smart sales people build relationships first.

Dave Lieber teaches his “Magical V-Shaped Storytelling Formula” which anyone can use immediately.
Here are three business storytelling tips for high-tech companies:
- Reporters for print and broadcast always look for great stories. When something wonderful happens, don't be shy about pitching it. Call the assignment editor and say, “I've got a nice bright feature for you.”
- A touch of passion and a pinch of comedy bring a short story alive.
- The key is to show, not tell a story. One easy way to do that is tell it in the present tense.
