About this routine

Donald Miller introduced the SB7 framework in his book Building a StoryBrand to help businesses clarify their value proposition through narrative structure. A structured StoryBrand offer creation routine forces you to stop positioning your brand as the hero and start positioning your customer as the main character. When messaging becomes clear, customer engagement increases and sales friction drops.

This workshop sequence guides you through the seven core elements of the framework in six 10 minute blocks. You begin by defining the customer desire and their multi-layered problems, then position your product as the guide with a clear plan and high-stakes call to action.

By working through each section sequentially, you build a clean messaging script that feeds directly into landing page copy, sales emails, and elevator pitches.

Why this routine works

Eliminates confusing jargon from product messaging
Positions the customer as the hero rather than your company
Creates actionable copy for sales pages and marketing campaigns
