If you've ever wondered about whether or not it is ethical to persuade somebody using covert methods, then this article is for you. I'd like to dispel some of the myths about convert persuasion. When used correctly, covert persuasion can be the best way to respectfully suggest a course of action to a client, loved on, or potential date.
The first thing to consider is that very few people really enjoy making decisions. If you've ever been in an important meeting at work, you've seen this first hand. Most people would like others to do their thinking for them.
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.
As you begin to understand the power that you can wield with these simple ideas, you can start to explore the many possibilities to apply them in your daily life. And you will soon become more powerful than you could ever imagine. - 31985
