How to Use Covert Persuasion To Help Others And Improve Your Sales

By George Hutton

I would like to share with you some powerful insights into the world of covert and conversational persuasion. A lot of people think that this is some kind of underhanded trickery, but that's not the case at all. You can create wonderful feelings of happiness in people when you use conversational persuasion.

In actuality, most people don't like to make decisions. Most of us naturally defer to those in power, and are happy to go along with a competent leader, so long as they know what they are doing. Simply put, most of us are followers, and very few of us are actual leaders. If you have any doubts, next time you are sitting in a meeting at work, watch how many people will voluntarily suggest a course of action.

Despite readily giving in to the decision of a strong leader, most people still would like to feel that their opinion counts for something. This is where covert persuasion is particularly powerful. With the right handling people will be more than happy to go along with your ideas and suggestions.

When the opinions of people are treated correctly, the people being persuaded will willingly go along with whatever the persuader will suggest. This can prove to be very powerful indeed.

A great benefit of involving the customer in the sales process is that you will greatly reduce any instances of "buyer's remorse." If you've ever gotten home and found yourself with a product that you don't want or need, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You can avoid this altogether with the right techniques.

When you use persuasion and involve the customer, they will not only be glad they bought from you, or decided to go along with your way of thinking, but they'll also tell all their friends about you. This can be great if you work in a referral system.

When you realize these simple ideas about covert persuasion, you can begin to understand that it is the best way to achieve a win win agreement with somebody. And this is true for all situations when persuasion would be appropriate. The only limits are in your imagination. - 31969
