In a recent LinkedIn post, Jack Dyer🕺 challenges the traditional agency model, positioning his company, Storytold, as a dedicated ‘growth partner’ rather than a mere ‘service provider’. Dyer🕺 emphasizes a fundamental difference in approach, highlighting the emotional and strategic disconnect often experienced by clients who have previously worked with freelancers or agencies.
Dyer🕺 articulates this frustration by stating:
“They don’t really understand me.” → “They don’t care about my success” → “The work’s fine but nothing changes”
He elaborates on this feeling of disconnect, describing past experiences with freelancers as feeling “one-sided. Transactional. And just a bit… lonely.” This sense of isolation, particularly among CEOs, is presented as the core reason for the creation of Storytold.
The Partnership Differentiator
According to Jack Dyer🕺, Storytold’s unique selling proposition lies not solely in its strategy, writing, psychology, or systems, but in the concept of **PARTNERSHIP**. He argues that the dedication, personalities, and genuine obsession of his team for client success are what truly set Storytold apart.
Dyer🕺 explains the team’s commitment:
“Every part of the Storytold system exists to remove friction for you and entice your audience to book calls:”
He further details the practical aspects of this partnership, outlining a system designed to save clients time and effort while fostering growth. Key elements of the Storytold system, as highlighted by Dyer🕺, include:
- Learning the client’s business inside-out
- Shaping messaging for maximum impact
- Saving clients over 20 hours per week
- Creating trust-building content
- Maintaining consistency
- Treating client goals as their own
- Continuous improvement behind the scenes
- Celebrating client wins
The emphasis is on a collaborative and enjoyable experience, moving away from the often-frustrating dynamic of managing external providers.
Moving Beyond Transactional Relationships
Jack Dyer🕺 contrasts Storytold’s approach with that of typical ‘service providers’ who may require constant chasing or correction. He asserts that Storytold aims to be a partner that clients can rely on, who genuinely cares about their outcomes. This philosophy is distilled into three core tenets:
“Your growth truly matters to us. 🕺 Your voice matters to us. 🕺 YOU MATTER TO US.”
Dyer🕺 acknowledges that Storytold is not a fit for everyone and that they actively turn away clients who are not aligned with their partnership-driven model. However, for those seeking a partner committed to their success, who can translate expertise into tangible demand with minimal client effort, Storytold offers its services.
The post concludes with an invitation to connect and explore growth opportunities, offering free resources and the option to request a private ‘Authority Call’.
