In B2B marketing, it’s easy to fall into the trap of using jargon and complex language. But this insider talk often confuses your audience and muddles your message. Donald Miller’s Building a StoryBrand offers a framework to clarify your value proposition and make your messaging more compelling.
This approach is especially important in B2B, where the stakes are high, and decision-makers don’t have time to decode industry jargon. Instead, you need to connect through simple, clear, and relatable language.

Why to Simplify B2B Messaging
Clarity Builds Trust
Overly complex language creates confusion, and confusion leads to doubt. Clear messaging in B2B marketing makes it easier for your audience to understand and trust you.
Relatable Stories Engage Your Audience
Storytelling helps cut through the noise. When you position your customer as the hero of the story (and your product as their guide), your message becomes more relatable and engaging.
Reduces Decision Fatigue
B2B buyers are often overwhelmed with information. Simplified messaging helps them quickly understand how you solve their problems, making it easier to say yes.
Building a StoryBrand for B2B
Clarify Your Value Proposition
Focus on the problem your customer is facing and how your product solves it. Use simple, clear language that anyone—inside or outside the industry—can understand.
Cut the Jargon
Insider terminology can alienate your audience. Replace technical jargon with language that highlights benefits and outcomes.
Focus on the Customer’s Story
Your messaging should position your customer as the hero. Show how your product or service helps them overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
Use a Call to Action
Make the next step clear. Whether scheduling a demo or downloading a resource, guide your audience to action.
