The Power of the StoryBrand SB7 Framework: A Proven Method for Effective Marketing

Are you struggling to create a clear and compelling message for your brand or business? Are you finding it difficult to connect with your target audience and drive conversions? If so, you may benefit from the Story Brand SB7 Framework.

Developed by marketing expert Donald Miller, the StoryBrand SB7 Framework is a powerful tool for creating a messaging strategy that resonates with your customers and motivates them to take action. In this blog post, we'll explore the key elements of the SB7 Framework and how it can help you transform your marketing efforts.

The Seven Elements of the SB7 Framework

The SB7 Framework consists of seven key elements that work together to create a powerful and effective message. These elements are:

The Character: Your customer is the hero of the story, not your brand.

The Problem: Your customer has a problem that needs to be solved.

The Guide: Your brand is the guide that can help your customer overcome their problem.

The Plan: You need to provide a clear and actionable plan for how your customer can solve their problem.

The Call to Action: You need to motivate your customer to take action.

The Failure: You need to show the consequences of not taking action.

The Success: You need to show the positive outcome that your customer can achieve by taking action.

By following this framework, you can create a message that is clear, compelling, and focused on your customer's needs.

Why the SB7 Framework Works

The SB7 Framework is based on the principles of storytelling. Humans are wired to respond to stories, and when you use storytelling in your marketing, you tap into a powerful emotional connection with your customers.

The SB7 Framework also emphasizes the importance of clarity. In today's world, people are bombarded with messages from all directions. If your message is not clear and concise, it will be ignored. By focusing on the key elements of the SB7 Framework, you can create a message that is easy to understand and memorable.

How to Implement the SB7 Framework

Implementing the SB7 Framework requires some thought and effort, but the results can be transformative. Here are the key steps to follow:

Identify your customer: Who is your ideal customer, and what are their needs and pain points?

Define their problem: What is the problem that your customer is facing, and how does it impact their life?

Position your brand as the guide: How can your brand help your customer overcome their problem?

Provide a clear plan: What steps does your customer need to take to solve their problem, and how can your brand help them?

Motivate action: What is the call to action that will motivate your customer to take the next step?

Show the consequences of inaction: What will happen if your customer doesn't take action?

Paint a picture of success: What positive outcome can your customer achieve by taking action, and how will it impact their life?

By following these steps, you can create a message that resonates with your customer and motivates them to take action.

Examples of Successful SB7 Framework Implementation

The SB7 Framework has been used by many successful brands and businesses to transform their marketing efforts. Here are a few examples:

The movie The Lion King uses the SB7 Framework to tell the story of a young lion who must overcome his fear and claim his rightful place as king.

The fitness company Peloton positions itself as the guide that can help customers achieve their fitness goals, with a clear plan and motivating call to action.

The car company Subaru positions itself as the guide that can help families stay safe on the road, with a clear plan and compelling consequences.

Lifesteal s6 day 1 report

So i watched a whole lotta lifesteal yesterday, and i continue to be watching a lifesteal stream as i write this. But Derapchu is wonderfully ignorable, so we persist. Here are the majority of my observations and thoughts on day 1. Some of my recollection may be wrong, please correct inconsistencies if you know more than i do. Intense Spoilers below (including mace spoilers)

So i began the day over an hour to launch, meowing up a storm in Pangi's chat. meow meow meow. Wonderful stuff. Once the server was closer to start and everyone else went live, i pulled up Princezam and Squiddo's streams. These were to be my main perspectives for the day. At one point i did end up watching 4 streams at once, and it was chaotic and i dont like watching more than 2 at once. I had a man on the inside[4 monitors with almost everyone's stream pulled up] to give me more news as it breaks.

The first death was Roshambo who died to dripstone i believe.

The initial team breakdown is as follows:

The Empire: This the group of assholes who preanounced their team, Minutetech, Mapicc, Spoke and Jepexx. Joined by surprise new member ChiefXD. This team began by rushing Mace and potions in order to kill people. They declared themselves the 'evil empire' and did some murderating. They got one of [the?] first kills on HannnahxxRose using dripstone. [or jumper? i think they both died early on to dripstone]

Blindfold Brothers: As the name suggests Manepear and Flamefrags decided that it would be them against the world. They briefly allied with another group against the empire, but they super betrayed and killed a bunch of people. Why my informant was surprised when they did that is beyond me. I thought it was obvious that these two would go on a murder spree.

The next team i actually dont know much about. Idk how stable and who's acutaslly in it: I think Woogie, Redd, Hannah, Leo, Kab and Clown [according to woogie's !team command]. Kab suspects that Clown is going to betray the rest of the group, which would be pretty Clownpierce of him. But CLown and Kab are tight. As a group of 6, they are officially the largest team on the server. They attempted to take down the Empire, and Mane and Flame even joined them temporarily to hunt the Empire.

The Pants Pals: 4CVIT Squiddo and MrCube6. Amazing team, fantastic. Also a member of this team: Eevee Trial Chamber Gay (tcg) the dog. This dog is the msot important thing on this server. Dont care about the mace anymore, only this dog matters. Yes this group is the one that got the the mace, but forget that. puppy. Squiddo, inspired by her dog buried the mace in a barrel that only she knows the location of.

Spacewaffles: Bacon and Planet are back babey! they built a nice tower together with tuff and copper, it looks great. They are neighbours with Zam and also Ash. Who also built houses near spawn.

Derap Wemmbu Ash: according to chat and also backed up by Derap when i asked, they are also Allied with Pangi & Spep. Derap & Terrain also have thier own alliance outside of the team. derap said a duo name that was long and weird, i think it was like glazed donut something duo. idk. derap's a freak. In pangi's chat, his !team command says Derap. Derap's pinned message does not say Pangi.

PrinceZam: is alone. on purpose! this time! He claims he could have friends but he doesn't want them! Zam's going solo and he's being a pacifist this season, or at least for as long as it lasts. He's not doing this for 'moral' reasons, but Zam also stated he didn't know that Morals are subjective. So, uh. take that as you will.

PE: Pentar Ecorridor. Clever name, said no one. idk what they're up to. Pentar killed Zam on Bacon's request. that was Zam's first death.

The Sticklers: Jumper & Ro. idk anything about what they've done. I just noticed Jumper was live, so i asked her team in chat. Jumper is down to 6 hearts after Clown killed her twice in succession. idk about the other deaths.

other people: idk. SB737 has not logged on yet. Whether he is on vacation until monday or as some chatters said he died in hospital after being run over by a truck. Who can say which one is true. Jaron i think also hasn't logged on. idk what anyone else is up to.

heart recipe: 4 netherite, 4 nautilus shells 1 ominous key

Now thats the stuff that i might actually reference some day. but like. idk man.

Some other things: Wemmbu was stuck in a hole for a while. Zam and Mapicc were discussing how long he would stay there complaining and how long until he just logs off. At one point Pentar was willing to go rescue him, but Mapicc killed him before Wemmbu could be helped to preserver the important Wemmbu Research being done. Later Wemmbu was killed by Spoke and the whole world rejoiced as Wemmbu was freed from Cave civilisation.

No one likes the Empire. idk if the Empire even likes the Empire likes the Empire. Jepexx [tried? accidentally?] nearly teamkilled at multiple points. Idk if this team will last. they were being called Frat bros by other people, and made enemies of everyone. I think MoralTech might also be having second thoughts about being evil.

No one knows where the Mace is. the Pants Pals, (which until they named themselves that i was referring to them as 4squid6 as that's the best way to combine their names.) got the mace quietly after Sqiuddo's mad rng role of getting the heavy core on the first ominous key. After that Squiddo went and hid the mace, her own team does not know where it is. Clown later claimed to have the mace, and no one can technically verify he doesn't. but everyone suspects their enemies of having it. and no one knows for sure. Very fun for someone who's known who has the mace the whole time. I've been in chat saying that I have it, or freddy fazbear has it. It's important to spread misinformation in times like these. Remember, unverified guesses may count as streamsniping at mod's discretion. If you are saying random names have the mace, make sure that its people who aren't real or at least not on Lifesteal this season or haven't logged on. Does SB have the mace? Have they asked him? Have we proved SB doesn't have it? I think SB might have it. :shrug:

So... I got some potentially bad news from the hospital Friday. It sent me on a bit of a spiral, so long story short I made the poor financial decision to buy myself a new sb7 spirit box to replace the broken one.

I've been wondering around the house here all morning hardly able to sit still, and my dumbass was like "this will make me feel better" it did not. It made me feel worse after I spent that money. Thank Gods for afterpay lol

So on a more exciting note, be ready for some ghost box content. I'm gonna try and hold a conversation with "Him"

Please forgive my messy bedroom, I'm having a rough time. But I finally got around to hanging up my tapestry.

The Dubious Occurrences at Live Wire's

Investigation 1: the baseline. ( I am not proof-reading any of this btw. I am a wild card of a historian.)

After our weekly meeting, we decided unanimously: "what better way to start our hunts by beginning on Halloween?" Well...maybe, ok, maybe not the greatest idea. Exhaustion, paranoia, sleep-deprivation do not make for a great ghosting mindset. But nevertheless, we were motivated to undertake what the undertakers left us.

Due to the fact we are slightly underprepared for...most things...we chose to host our first paranormal investigation at my home. Built in 1937, I'm willingly to say my house can be fucky at times. One time in particular springs to mind. I'm with one of my exes when - I shit you not - my cupboards spring open and my doors slams shut. My windows were shut, and my cupboards take a good amount of oomph to pry open. However, I myself have chalked this down to the fact my house is arguably poorly built and literally sinking into the ground. Repair is not my middle name.

While we ghost-capped the night, we settled into opening our brand-new Spirit Box. Can attest: incredibly annoying. Our spirit box has a temp reader built in, too.

For the first attempt, we heard nothing. Tele suggested we employ the Estes Method. For those who are not aware, the Estes Method - otherwise known as SB7 Spirit Box Experiment - is when a listener puts on the spirit box in headphones, noise-cancels outside interference, tries to enter a trance-like state, and instantly speaks whatever words they think the box might be saying.

The first one to go was Tele, with the rest of us asking questions. We got jackshit, but it was kinda funny. After this, we sent the shit, I mean spirit, box to me. I repeated everything I heard, which included some semi-definite phrases. I recall repeating "listen" and "stay" a few times, along with Moody's real name: [redacted]. I also said the phrase "go down there" after Tele pointed to my basement. (ghost oooh noise.) After this, Moody took a turn. They also repeated their own name a few times, and also said mine. Shit scared me. The box also said things mildly homophobic, like "fruits" and "gay boo" and other various republican sentiments. Asshole.

6ixer took a turn. This is when I cleverly decided to start recorded. Tele: "do you have anything you'd like to say?"

6ixer: "be quiet."

Tele: "you can tell us anything."

6ixer: "give up."

Tele: "I'm [redacted]-"

6ixer: "stop talking."

After this, we got a lot of interesting statements like an age after we asked, (12) and a gender (boy.)

We asked some death details, and gathered "water," "silence" and "cold." Then, the box went back to fucking with us. "Whistle, please." So we did this. We got some more weirder stuff after this. But before I get to that, I'd like to mention that it said "bet bro" which fucking cracked me up. As I'm listening, we also got "eat soup." So enjoy these.

A lot of the statements from the box aligned up to a missing person's case at a location near Ballard. We tried to pry more, but this ended up dwindling out pretty fast.

When the box powered down, we went after the house with our Ouija board. The funny thing with these is that it does move, but everyone always swears they weren't touching it. Bro, I wasn't touching it, though. On my fucking life.

Anyway. The temp reader started to fucking plummet, which was not great for the energy of the room. Then the EMF reader went a little fucky on us, and starting spiking.

Tele said they felt a little girl's presence in the room and maybe it was like the night but I felt something touch my cheek, for reals. Where I was sat, the temperature continued to fluctuate. When Tele stated they believed the ghost to be near me, I was overwhelmingly flooded with fear. This also happened to 6ixer. Both of us felt so much intense fear, and I am unashamed to say I cried a little. Still a skeptic, but I don't know how the fuck I felt extremely frightened so sudden.

Did I mention that literally while all of this is happening, the temp is dropping by 2 degrees at a time? Oh, and the candles blew out. And one of our cat/ghost balls went missing despite the fact all of us blood-hound searched the room.

That draws our 1st semi-investigation to a close. Would love some inputs and some chitchat on these occurrences. After this, I'll post our debrief.

“Stories have always had the ability to mold people, whether in ancient times or in contemporary films. Everyone enjoys a good story, regardless of the means used to tell it. A common pattern in good stories is that a character faces a challenge and encounters a guide who helps them devise a strategy, motivates them to take action, avoids failure, and leads to success.”

When you have a compelling narrative that illustrates your brand, you can gain a competitive advantage. ~ Donald Miller

“There is no space for uncertainty. Aesthetics are less important than effective language usage. You may have the most beautiful website on the block, but you're using language ineffectively. It's a waste of such elegance.Your messageshould pass the following information:

Who you are

What you do

Why you are the best fit for the job

Customers should be able to comprehend your message and relate to your tale without difficulty. If they encounter difficulties repeatedly, they would not hesitate to move their company elsewhere. Your message must clarify your goals and every mission.”

The best message for your brand takes the customers’ needs into consideration. ~ Donald Miller

“It is crucial to always ask yourself if your product or service will be beneficial to people’s survival. According to psychologist Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs, it's critical to prioritize the services or goods based on how important they are to human survival. Physical requirements take precedence over psychological requirements. Consider this a pyramid. The most basic needs we have as humans are food, sex, protection, and shelter. Then there's the need for fellowship and companionship. The need for self–actualization is at the top of the pyramid. Understanding this hierarchy can provide the leverage to hone your message and entice customers.”

“Acceptance is what we all crave. We just want to feel like we belong somewhere. We must all eat and drink. Use what you've learned to illustrate how your product can help consumers meet their needs and thrive in life. If you're in the business of technical enhancement training, for example, your website must explicitly state that you teach people. Then, you must figure out how to craft a message that ties technical training to your customers' survival needs. You may demonstrate how professional training would allow them to earn more money and better care for themselves. Being skilled will also assist them in making friends with notable members of society.”

“A well–told story is organized information which follows a 7–part framework”

A properly crafted story has the power to retain our attention and improve our retention of the story. ~ Donald Miller

“Story–telling is an effective marketing strategy that makes messages stick. Unlike the erratic honking of cars and odd noises we hear and forget almost instantly, a good story sticks in the mind after a single listen, much like a melody. Music follows a set of rules and patterns that are easily recognized. A pattern can also be found in good tales.

Make a message as infectious as a melody by turning it into a story if you want to project your brand. The StoryBrand 7–Part Framework, also known as the “SB7 Framework,” is a simple way to accomplish this.

The SB7 Framework harnesses the influence of stories. The structure describes the 7 most common story elements:

Character

Problem

Guide

Plan

Calls to action

Failure

Success

“In every story, the protagonist is the focus of attention. Their character is at the center of the plot. They have a strong desire for something impossible to obtain. This issue is caused by this complexity. Just as they are about to give up, a guide appears and proposes a solution to the dilemma. The guide instructs the character to behave in accordance with the strategy. To escape failure, the character must stick to the plan in order to fulfill her first desire.This story arc can be crafted for every type of brand. Once you’ve got your script sorted, it will provide the ammunition you need to win and keep the attention of your customers. The nextchapterwill zoom in on the character.

“The character in your business story are the customers and you should focus on one desire”

“Every good story has a hero. The Harry Potter series has Harry Potter. Game of Thrones has Jon Snow, depending on the season you’re watching.”

The hero of an effective brand story is the customer. ~ Donald Miller

“Allow your story to revolve around your clients’ wants and needs. Tell the story from their perspective. It will stay with them, and they will automatically seek you out when they need something in the real world. The need will be associated with your brand.

Consider a travel company as an example of how vital it is to make the customer your main character. This company's website features stunning scenery from around the world, as well as their beautiful offices and a story about them. In essence, it discussed all but the consumer.This is a good example of what not to do. The message is ambiguous and does not answer the customers' needs. They showcased their business rather than focusing on what their company will do for the consumer. People may enjoy the beautiful landscapes and offices, but they are unable to relate their needs to what you are saying. Your website should talk more about the people who use them than you. They should easily see why they need to contact you and what you bring to the table.

In your brand story, your customer must be the main character. Engage them by focusing on their needs. Concentrate on one desire to become more dominant. It's pointless to mention all of your resources. It would just confuse the clients and make it impossible for them to see how your message addresses their needs.

Someone at the travel agency soon realized that customers want to travel easily. As a result of this discovery, their website was redesigned to emphasize how their services relieve their customers of the pressure of making travel plans. The message became more succinct and direct and everyone was aware of the travel agency's services.”

“How does your product or service solve customer problems? The second component of the SB7 framework focuses on identifying the problems your customers face and proffering solutions to these problems.”

“People like being heard. Simply stating the issues that your customers face will pique their interest in the solution you offer. Clearly state the issue, demonstrating that you understand where the shoe hurts.

By communicating your awareness of your customers’ challenges, you communicate understanding. ~ Donald Miller

“In a story, having a hero isn't enough. There has to be a bad guy somewhere. As a result, this obstacle or dilemma that the customers face must be portrayed as the story's protagonist, who must be defeated. It's helpful to portray distractions as a villain if your product is a time–management app. Make all that steals time into a mini–villain, and these villains will become the main villains.

Internal issues may often be more urgent than external issues. Feeling stressed that you don't have enough time to relax could be an internal issue for which the time management software could have solutions

There are two key attributes you must have to present yourself as an effective guide: empathy and authority. ~ Donald Miller

“Empathy establishes the foundation for a trustworthy relationship. It demonstrates to your customers that you are aware of their situation and can empathize with them. Only if you establish a relationship with your customers will they take your advice seriously

Empathy makes customers trust you while authority is established by being consistently competent. ~ Donald Miller

“Being overbearing or condescending does not create authority. It is won by acting with honesty and following through on your promises. You must demonstrate that you are capable of carrying out your promises. Please deliver! A constant demonstration of competence is the key to establishing authority.

At this point, all of your story's major characters have been identified. You know who the story's hero, villain, and guide are. It's time to tell a gripping story

“The fact that your customers trust you and your ability to deliver does not mean they will commit to a purchase. Buying a product or service isa different process altogether. You must come up with aworkingplan that will guarantee their decision tomake a purchase.

Consider a group of people who need to cross a stream to get to the other side but don't want to get muddy. As a guide, your job is to throw stones into the water for them to walk on so they can get to their destination without getting wet. Your scheme is made up of crossing stones.

A process plan and an agreement plan are two methods of laying out a good plan. ~ Donald Miller

“Demonstrate how to make a purchase or make the purchase completely risk–free for your customers. The Process Plan is a diagram that shows the customers what to do. It instructs them on how to purchase and use a product. Explaining the process reduces customer frustration and increases the likelihood of customer retention.

If a customer wants to get a product, they may have difficulty deciding if the product is a right fit for them. You need to help by listing the steps they need to take to ascertain that they are making the right choice. These steps form the process plan.

The second method — an agreement plan — helps to eliminate the fear of purchase.For example, offering a money – back agreement or assuring customers that they will leave with products that meet their needs and standards, will boost the likelihood of making a purchase.

“Encourage your clients to take action. Do not wait for anyone to notice you. Every day, an average of 3000 commercials are broadcast to customers. As a result, if you want to be selected, you must stand out from the crowd.

“Make a statement that is both bold and straightforward. Provide several calls to action on your website. Use a variety of terminologies and distribute them on the website. Direct calls to action include phrases like “Click Here to Buy,” “Buy Now,” and “Register.”

Another way to get consumers to make a decision is to use a transitional call to action. It differs from a straightforward call to action in that it aims to build a positive relationship with consumers rather than attempting to persuade them to make a purchase. The aim remains to persuade them to make a purchase.

Direct calls encourage customers to place an order while transitional calls encourage them to return to you next time they have a similar need. ~ Donald Miller

“Each time they encounter the problem that your product solves, they think of you and not the competition. To do this, you need to offer them something significant free of charge. Kind gestures stick with customers andmakethem return to you in the future.

“The possibility of the hero getting killed is why we stay glued to the screen in a movie. We want it to end well for the hero but we are not unaware of the possibility of the hero suffering a loss or losing his life. Jon Snow died in Game of Thrones and was not brought back to life until the next season. This kept everyone enthralled.

Your brand story should capitalize on the fear of failure because this fear guides our purchasing decisions. ~ Donald Miller

When making buying decisions, people are more interested in avoiding loss than pursuing gain. ~ Donald Miller

“As a result, you must be explicit about the drawbacks of not purchasing from you. For example, a professional advancement training organization that aims to teach people how to give public speeches or presentations must mention the risk of career stagnation that comes with not knowing how to talk in front of a community. You must also demonstrate the dangers of deferring such training before they believe they will need it.

An insurance company that seeks to protect people against potential losses must accentuate these losses in their advertisement and show how buying their insurance will guarantee protection.

“The fact that things can go wrong for the hero is one of the things that makes stories so powerful. When you're the protagonist in a novel, you don't want anything to go wrong. After dangling the risks of not purchasing in front of the buyers' eyes, your company must spell out the happy ending that your product provides

Beyond the product, create a vision that your customers can share with you. ~ Donald Miller

“How can you create a vision that your customers will be willing to share?

Three strategies can be useful:

Status

Completeness

Self–acceptance

It's time to sell. When you make provisions for something like a premium package that offers extra services that others do not, you will find that people aspire to that status. People are drawn to what they don't have and what sets them apart from others.

Sell the idea of completeness. Customers must be able to see the possibility of fulfillment of your product. They should get the impression that without your product, they are incomplete. As a result, they should aspire to surpass all others in order to be united with what you have to give.

Self–acceptance and realizing your ability is the third approach. Allow people to feel at ease in their own skin. Assist them in accepting themselves as they are. They would associate with you if the product communicates with ordinary people and tells them that there is nothing wrong with them.

When the movie's good guy nerd finally wins the beautiful girl's heart, it gives all male nerds a sense of identity, elevates their status, and makes them feel whole. There is a happy ending to every story.

The main character in your Brand Story must be your customers. Everything revolves around them. It is their problem you are trying to solve. The story must focus on them.

Identify a specific desire and make it into a problem that needs to be solved. This problem is the villain that the hero of the story must vanquish. Present a troubling situation that the hero must find help to resolve.

Your company is the guide that provides wisdom and help to the hero in the hour of need. Show clearly that you understand their frustration and have the capacity to help them out of the quagmire.

Lay out the steps that must be taken to defeat the villain or assure your customers that they are in safe hands and the only outcome of this situation is success as long as they follow your guidance.

Prod them to take action by asking them to buy your product (direct call to action) or encouraging them to establish a relationship with you (transitional call to action) that will make them remember you whenever they have this need. You can do this by giving them a memorable gift.

Explain the dangers of not taking decisive action now and show them how making the purchase makes them part of something greater than them. Sell a vision and not just a product. The sense of identity and belonging will create a long–lasting bond of fellowship between your brand and your customers.

Try this

To show your customers that your product will help them achieve their dreams, associate your brand with someone who is already successful. Take Red Bull for example. They associate with successful athletes to show that Red Bull gives you wings. To whom or what can you associate your brand to feed your customers with inspiration?
