16 INSTAGRAM STORY

PROMPTS FOR BUSINESS

Welcome
TO THE NEW WAY OF DOING STORIES
Congrats! You've taken a big step in upping your Instagram Stories game.
If you're here because you've felt like chucking your phone across the room
out of frustration with Instagram...

Hear me when I say: I get it.

After trying all the apps and Instagram Story editing techniques myself, and
not seeing a smidge of difference in my engagement, I almost gave up on
using Stories entirely.

That was until one day, I noticed a peculiar pattern in my business.

Just like the weather seasons, my business had seasons of different goals.

Sometimes it was Visibility and other times it was Lead Generation...

Once I crafted Instagram Stories that matched my business season, I saw

my engagement, leads and sales TAKE OFF.

Today, I call this the Story Seasons Method™ and what you're getting today is
a taste of how this method can work for you.

I'm giving you 16 Instagram Story prompts (whether you're Business-to-

Business OR Business-to-Consumer) that you can use in your seasons of:
Visibility, Engagement, Lead Generation or Closing Sales.

Enjoy and let me know what you think! Find me on Instagram: @EliseDarma
