The most dangerous demonstration of persuasion you’ll ever see

October 4th, 2006

I just did a complete analysis of the program called “The Heist” which aired on British Television. It is one of the most dangerous displays of the power of persuasion, hypnosis, language patterns and NLP you’ll ever see. I strongly recommend watching the video and then reading my analysis by clicking here

The Art of Covert Persuasion

September 18th, 2006

I just read a book that is so good and so complete I’m going to recommend it to you . . .
and it is from one of my biggest competitors.

Kevin Hogan has just released what I believe to be the best book on the market on the topic of Covert Persuasion. You’ll find it here.

This book is a step by step guide. In addition to endorsing it I’m going one step further and giving everyone who buys it today access to a live teleseminar on the topic of subliminal (or covert) persuasion.

Just pick up a copy of the book and email a copy of your receipt to amazonpromo@kevinhogan.com and you’ll receive information on how you can take part in a very rare live persuasion teleseminar with me. There are also a lot of other bonuses available that I’d never heard of before.

Grab this book today, you’ll be very glad that you did.

Whether you are a fan of covert persuasion or not,you’ll want to know what Kevin
is teaching to use it or to protect yourself from it.

Reducing Choices Increases Persuasive Compliance

March 30th, 2006

Offering people too many choices actually reduces their likelihood of making a decision.

Body Language And Persuasion - Test Yourself

March 2nd, 2006

Facial expressions can be good predictors of what the person you are persuading is thinking, but it requires fairly significant study. Body language and facial expressions when combined offer an even better picture of how your message is being received. Many people believe that they are good interpreters of body language and facial expressions, but are they really?

I’ve been studying body language nearly as long as I’ve been studying persuasion and I consider myself an expert in the interpretation. In a second, I’m going to show you where you can test your ability to interpret facial expressions online. I tested myself and got 9 out of 10 right, how well will you do?

Listen to me interview Robert Greene author of The 48 Laws Of Power

February 2nd, 2006

I just finished Robert Greene’s The 33 Strategies Of War. And, I read his other books too, “The 48 Laws of Power” and “The Art of Seduction“.

There may be 33 strategies, but I lost count of how many new ideas I got from this book.

Can I Persuade You To Do Something You Don’t Want To Do?

January 26th, 2006

That is a question I get often when I’m teaching seminars.

The answer is no . . . and yes . . . and it depends.

I want you to watch the video below, but first -

You’ve probably seen stage hypnosis shows where the hypnotist picks out people who are most susceptible to suggestion and gets them to do all kinds of crazy things. They do those things because at some level they are not opposed to doing them.

Your Ability To Persuade Is Determined In The Blink Of An Eye

January 18th, 2006

Decisions about the aesthetics of a website are made that determine the viewers experience in 1/20th of a second, less time than it takes to blink you eye. The study that was conducted was just reported in the Behavior and Information Technology Journal. It has fairly wide ranging persuasion implications for your
website and yourself. Read the whole story here.

If you’ve been reading my blog or these newsletters for long and especially if you’ve read my book Persuasion: The Art Of Getting What You Want you know that I’ve talked about how important a persuasive persona
is because of the speed at which we read each other. People may well see you long before they hear you and even if they see you and hear you nearly simultaneously, they make many decisions about you instantly (are you safe, trustworthy, friendly, appropriate etc.). You’ve also heard me say that a brand, a building, an office, a desk, your car etc., all have a persona as well.

Christmas And Persuasion

November 29th, 2005

Every year at Christmas time I get literally hundreds of preprinted Christmas cards with generic greetings inside from all the companies that I do business with. About every 10th card is the same as the card from another company so I never know for sure which one is from who. Companies send the card to “build our relationship” and in a misguided attempt to initiate the idea of giving to receive. They give me a Christmas card, I feel good about them, I do more business.
