What do you do when you are trying to convince/persuade someone of something? I came out with my own art of convincing people few days ago.
Method one,
You start working on common agreement and then proceed to brainwash someone with your idea.
Example,
Start with 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 1 = 3, 5 – 4 = 1 etc and you proceed to brainwash him/her with 3 + 1 = 5, 3 + 3 = 5 etc. When someone starts to show some resistance towards your idea, you quickly go back to 1 + 1 = 2 and 2 + 1 = 3; slowly you try to erode his stand and belief on the matter.
Theoretically it should work and of course I didn’t design a test to prove my hypothesis.
Method two,
You start with saying something extraordinary and prove to him/her you do know more about the subject. It need not to be that case. You don’t have to know more but just the impression that you do know more will do. Then, you try to send his/her mind into a blank state after projecting the idol image.
Sometimes when you are extremely shock or amaze at something and your mind just went into a blank state, the part where your jaw drop. Remember those moments where your mind is blank in exam hall?
Utilize that moment and try to sell your idea. You will encounter little to no resistance. Some even proposed that you can manipulate that to give some commands and people will blindly follows it.
I have no specific example how to send someone’s mind into blank state but normally an unexpected incident or response should be able to do the job.
One particular book I read years ago said there are only three things in art of selling your ideas – heaven, hell and bridge.
Heaven refers to an ideal state or the possibility of your idea.
Hell refers to the current state one is in now.
Bridge is the idea you are trying to sell here.
If you want to lose weight (heaven), (obviously you are fat – hell) then you must use my product or take my advice (bridge).
What can I do?
