Register now at http://storybrand.com/live You can have a great product and a smart marketing plan and still lose sales because your message starts in the wrong place. Big companies do it. Small businesses do it. They lead with features, backstory, and big ideas before customers even know why they should care. When that happens, people tune out. It's not that your product isn't good. It's that your message isn't clear fast enough. If customers are bouncing from your website or ignoring your ads, could it be that you're explaining too much before you've earned their attention? In this episode, host Donald Miller shows why the order of your message matters more than you think. Using real business examples, he explains how one simple shift in wording can unlock growth and how starting in the wrong place can quietly stall it. You'll learn how to grab attention, build trust, and guide customers toward a decision without overwhelming them. If you want mark
