We all love listening to or telling a good story! And it’s generally agreed that we use Storytelling as a way to transfer knowledge and learning experiences from one generation to the next.
And everyone loves a good Story.
It’s the reason why Netflix, YouTube, Showmax and many other streaming services not only exist, but flourish! Stories that seem to ‘talk directly to us’ and that we can relate to on a personal and aspirational level, are stories that we remember the most.
These memorable Stories are often linked to how the Story made us feel. Our own experiences, both good and bad make us feel a certain way, and we remember more the way we feel then what actually happened. So to communicate the context around these feelings and to tell others what happened to us that made us feel the way we felt, we use Storytelling. And its these personally relatable stories that leave a lasting impression on us.
In Jon Kroeger talks he use relatable stories of real-world, day-to-day experiences when talking to people about Customer Experience, improving your Sales Experience, growing your Business and Authentic Leadership.
Through his Stories, Jon Kroeger – Retail encourage a change in perspective of his audience by giving them an alternative narrative to think about.
Every encounter I have as either a Salesperson or a Customer, the total Customer Experience and additional transactional value is foremost in my mind.
As a Salesperson, in this vastly competitive consumer driven world we sell in, you are often up against the retail store down the road, the frustrating and misunderstood discount war, economic cycles and how do you convince your Customers to rather buy from you?
As a Customer, I’m asking myself “why should I buy from you?” It’s so competitive out there, with many options, Brands, products etc. that all promise to ‘solve my need’ – and many can fulfil this promise. What is it that creates a compelling enough reason for me to buy your solution or take you up on your offer as a Salesperson or your particular retail store?
And the answer is hardly ever the amount of discount offered. Discounted pricing is only ever the bargaining chip in the absence of additional transactional value. The compelling reason for Jon Kroeger – Retail Sales to do business with you is largely dependent on the overall level of Customer Experience and additional transactional value offered by you (the Salesperson) and perceived by me (the Customer).
Arguably, the most valuable skill any Salesperson has is there ability to offer an authentic, memorable Customer Experience with enough compelling reasons for your Customer to confidently do business with you. One thing is for sure though, if you don’t know everything about what it is that you are selling and what you are selling against, don’t expect your Customers to trust your sales pitch – they will buy not because of you, but in spite of you – and probably at a demanded reduced transactional value.

Christo Brand is a South African former prison guard who was one of several that were responsible for guarding Nelson Mandela. He came to Robben Island, where Mandela was being held, in 1978 when he was 19 years old.
In 1982 he was transferred along with Mandela to Pollsmoor Prison. Christo and Mandela developed a close friendship over the course of many years. He is the co-author of his book, Doing Life with Mandela: My Prisoner, My Friend (2014). Christo retired from Robben Island on 31st July 2018 to pursue his storytelling on a full-time basis.
How was it possible for these two men from such seemingly different backgrounds to develop a relationship which was to become so much more – a lasting friendship based on a mutual trust and respect for each other?
Surely, they should have hated each other. One was a white, 18-year-old Afrikaans speaking prison guard representing the oppressive, apartheid regime of the time; the other – a black, 60-year-old Xhosa speaking terrorist serving a life sentence.
Rather than join the army for National Service as was compulsory for every South African white male, Christo Brand decided to join the prison service. After training for a year in Kroonstad, he applied for a post on Robben Island because he wanted to be close to home.
His application was successful and at the age of 19 he was sent to work on Robben Island in 1978. That was when Christo first came across Nelson Mandela who at that time was 60 years old. This was where they formed a relationship which was to become so much more. A close friendship built on trust and mutual respect for each other.
In 1982, Mandela was transferred to Pollsmoor Prison. On 13th March that year, Christo married Estelle. Soon afterwards, Christo was transferred to Pollsmoor and was responsible for guarding Mandela for the next 6 years.
Encouraged and supported by Nelson Mandela, in 2014 Christo wrote his book “Doing Life with Mandela – My Prisoner, My Friend”, with co-author Barbara Jones.
In the Foreword, Ahmed Kathrada writes: “My lasting impression of Christo Brand is that he’s a very good human being. He’s not a politician; he’s just a very caring man who took chances for other people, which could have brought him trouble.
I sincerely hope that Christo’s book will receive the respect and attention it deserves. It is a valuable addition to the writings about imprisonment in the apartheid era, and it is written by a fine man.
It is also unique in that it is the most honest account I have read by a warden relating their interaction with Nelson Mandela, and for that alone it deserves credit. I wish Christo Brand all the success in the world.”
