How can you create a story that people can relate to? A different model should be followed, which involves the six P’s: principles, purpose, people, personal, perceptions, and product.

Getting to know your customers’ needs and wants is important, but that alone won’t make your business successful. It’s also important to make sure your business matters.
In order to ensure that people perceive the difference in the quality of services or products you provide, the next step is to develop a personal connection with them.
The life that your potential customers are leading should resonate with your product or service. Using your product or service should make people feel good.
