Need help refining my subtitle for book on branding and sales.

    I used Pickfu to poll 50 random people on which subtitle would work better: https://www.pickfu.com/09X7KC
    1. How to Show Your Company's Value and Make People Want to Buy from You
    2. How to Tell Your Company’s Story and Make Your Products Irresistible
    #2 got 60% of the votes. Not a huge margin, but some interesting comments. People liked the verb "show" in the first one better, but "story" and "irresistible" in the second.

    So maybe I should combine them into something like:

    "How to Show Company's Value and Make Your Products Irresistible."

    or

    "Using Your Company's Story to Show Value and Make Your Products Irresistible."

    What do y'all think?

    People don't care a jot for a (your) company or it's value(s). They just want to know what's in it for them if they buy your product or service.

    The term 'How to' has been shown to be a good start to a heading - people in need of info about doing something usually start their search with 'how to do/find xxx'. So it's a good keyword term to use in your Title.

    A title like 'How to make an irresistible offer that guarantees bumper sales' would appeal to any company interested in improving their sales.

    I understand that line of reasoning, but I am also intentionally trying to differentiate myself from every other "10 magic tips to instant business success" book out there by being more educational and philosophical.
