There's a very good chance that you've heard about the Strengthening Your Persuasion workshop which takes place in London once every year. The concept behind this workshop is that Persuasion is a matter of the mind and through the practice of mental tricks, people can easily control the outcome of all their interactions. With the right techniques, you can easily make someone believe what you're trying to say even if they're not really listening. Here are some tips on how you can apply these techniques to improve your persuasion skills.
First of all, you need to play with their minds a little bit. When you're speaking to a person on the phone or in person, you should make it seem as if you're interested in them. For example, when you're talking to your boss, you should pretend to be interested in getting more work done. You can do this by asking questions like; "I notice that you've mentioned working too much lately."
When you're talking on the phone, never get into an aggressive tone. When you talk like this, people feel intimidated. Try to use a soothing voice for your telephone conversations. Also, when you're talking with a client, you should ask them soft questions like; "Have you ever thought about starting a home based business?" This way, you'll make sure that the person feels comfortable.
It always helps to bring someone else along with you. When you have someone else to help you, it makes it a lot easier to get their attention. Remember to always bring a lunch to the office, so you can show them pictures of different places that you've been. Another good thing to do is get a pen and paper and write down all of the things that you notice about the other person. Do this before you even get started.
When you're talking on the phone, always remember to ask them if they are hungry or thirsty. Be careful about what you say. You don't want to sound like you're encouraging someone to take drugs. Always ask them if they need anything before you put it in the bag.
