How To Easily Persuade And Influence Others To Do Exactly As You Wish
Have you ever tried to convince somebody of something, and didn’t quite figured out how to do it effectively? In this article you’ll learn some basic tips on how to easily and powerfully persuade others to your way of thinking. These methods have been used throughout time to persuade and influence millions. They are very powerful.
The first and most important aspect is to develop rapport. Rapport is an often misunderstood concept. Basically it means you develop a strong sense of familiarity with whoever you are speaking with. They start to feel like they really know you, that you share a lot in common with them. Once you establish rapport, you are ready to move on to the next step.
Once you have rapport, you are ready to begin to elicit their criteria. Criteria are anything that is important to them about something in particular. For example, if you are buying a car, one of you criteria may be that the car be red. Another criteria may be that the car have a certain level of gas mileage.
The more vague and fuzzy their criteria are, the better. If they want to eat pizza, and all you sell is hot dogs, you’ve got a problem. But if they want to eat something with cheese, then you’ve got something to work with. Even better if all they want is something spicy.
If their criteria are fuzzy, then it’s much easier to persuade them. Vague words like, happiness, security, entertainment, pleasure are much easier to fulfill than a specific brand and model number.
Once you have their vaguely worded criteria, you are ready to attach it conversationally to whatever it is you want them to do. Convince them that their criteria will be fulfilled by doing what you want them to do.
This is best done covertly, or in a roundabout way. The best way is to let them come to the conclusion themselves.
So, for example, if they say they want happiness, you can tell them a story about a previous client, that became really happy after buying your product or taking your advice.
The more vague words that you get, the easier it will be to convince them to do whatever you want. The longer you spread out your conversation, the more likely they’ll come to the conclusion on their own.
This is best done over a long conversation. Get some criteria, talk about something else, get some more criteria. Tell a story about somebody with the same criteria that had it met through your product, talk about something else, do it again. You get the idea.
When you do this the right way, and with patience, by the end of the conversation, they will be begging you to be able to do what you want. This is really powerful.
Of course, make sure you don’t persuade them to do something against their interests, like buy a sports car for a family of eight. When you use this with their best interests in mind, you can create a lot of happiness in people..
