Expert Persuasion In 20 Day

Let's admit it. Not all of us possess the natural charm of Casablanca. While there are people out there who seem to have no trouble attracting the opposite sex and asking people out on dates, there are those who prefer to stay in the sidelines, wallow in cowardice, and be satisfied with just watching their romantic prospect from afar.

But this can't go on forever and we know it. Eventually, we will have to face our insecurities and fears if we are truly bent on getting the man or woman of our dreams, or even if we want to meet new people at all.

Killer Laws of Persuasion

Sometimes a bunch of boring rules stick in our mind like Crazy Glue, and

they change how we produce results. Aristotle, (384-322 B.C.E) offered us

three principles of persuasion. Important? It applies to your career, your

family and even how you motivate yourself.

1. Personality, also known as charisma, rules our likes and dislikes. The Supreme Court definition of pornography is vague and foggy. Then the

decision added, We know it when we see it. You and I know charisma when we see it. It is Glamour, Sexy, Magnetism, Fascination, and Hot!

How do you create a hot personality that influences and persuades?

2. Frame-of-Mind. Did you know scientific research indicates

people make up their mind about you and what you have to say, in the

first seven-seconds of contact with you? What does it take to create

a positive frame-of-mind in the people you want to persuade and influence?

3. Proof is the evidence you offer to convince, influence and persuade others

to exchange their pile of dead-presidents for your services or products.

Personal Persuasion - Ten Common Persuasive Techniques That You Should Avoid

Let's see how many of these methods are currently in your bag of tricks.

1. Criticizing - Do you actually think that by pointing out what people are doing wrong, you'll make them want your version of right? You will more likely get defensiveness, not cooperation, if you practice this form of persuasion.

2. Complaining - Complaining is another form of criticism, made worse because of its constant repetition. Complainers continually point out what others are doing wrong, in an attempt to make people see things their way and do things for them. Eventually, people turn a deaf ear to complainers, who tend to expect others to change without bothering to change themselves.

3. Condemning - What is your reaction to another person's censure, or condemnation? Defensiveness and martyrdom are the usual reactions. In one, people react with defensive explanations and try to justify their actions. In the other, people accept the title of sinner and decide that they might as well live up to your expectations. In either case, persuasion is unlikely.

The 5 P's of Success

Psyche

The first is psyche. That's the mental aspect of the game. It's a critical skill for all successful salespeople, but it works equally well in all fields. You will not be able to achieve your goals until you believe you can achieve your goals. All the best techniques and tools will not help you until you first believe in yourself.

Persistence

The second "P" is persistence. Persistence is the number one reason why people are successful in life. It's also the driving force that determines why certain people are wealthy.

Personal Development

The next "P" is personal development. All top producers have a personal development program. There is a direct relationship between your personal development program and your income.

Passion

Do you know the number one thing that will change someone's mind? It's the next "P"--passion. More than anything, passion will allow you to recruit the hearts and minds of your prospects.

Persuasion

The fifth and final "P” is persuasion. Spend a little time each day learning and mastering the world of persuasion and influence.

The Raw Truth About Persuasion and Copywriting!

I get asked all the time, “Lorrie, how can I make my copy more persuasive?” Well frankly it helps if you can speak your prospect’s language. But writing persuasively is more involved than just saying the right words. You need to say them in the right order…and in a way that lowers resistance to new information and is acceptable to his or her mind. One discipline that translates nicely to writing persuasive copy is NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming.

NLP isn’t a replacement for good copywriting. It’s a turbo boost. Meeting a person on his or her own level by using familiar words puts YOU in control of the communication almost immediately.

Have you ever been moved to buy a pair of sexy shoes instead of the sensible, comfy shoes you really needed? But when you got home you didn’t know how you got over the resistance of spending the money? See, people understand the RESULT of making a purchasing decision, but are often unaware of the internal recipe that gets them there. We all know we tend to buy based on emotion over logic. In fact, most buying decisions are largely emotional.
