INTRODUCTION

WHEN THESE STRATEGIES WONT WORK

In this book, you will learn the science behind how to persuade people to do stuff for you - without having to yell, threaten or be aggressive. You will learn proven persuasion principles to win people over to your way of thinking and get them to comply with your requests.

Think of the last time you had to persuade someone to do something for you. Was your persuasion attempt successful?

Why or why not?

What if you could learn persuasion strategies that would increase your chances of getting a yes?

How would that impact your personal life?

How would that impact your career?

When you think about it, a lot of life is about persuasion.

You go through life trying to persuade one person or another. During the job interview, you try to persuade the interviewer that youre the right person for the job. You try to persuade your boyfriend/girlfriend to marry you (if youre lucky, they try to persuade you!). You try to persuade your kids that they should work hard in school so that they can get a well-paying job later in life. You try to persuade your customers that they should buy your product instead of your competitors.

Almost every conversation - from where to go for dinner to what car to buy - contains some element of persuasion.

The aim of this short book is to equip you with scientifically proven persuasion strategies that will increase your odds of getting what you want - without yelling, threatening or being aggressive.

Will the persuasion strategies outlined in this book work 100% of the time?

Absolutely not.

Ill be the first to admit that the strategies in this book are not bulletproof. Theyre not going to work all the time and in every situation. But heres what they will do: They will increase your probability of hearing a Yes!

It may seem odd that even though Im trying to persuade you to buy this book Im telling you that the strategies covered in this book wont always work (Persuasion alert:Theres a scientifically proven reason as to why Im doing this, which well cover in Chapter 4). Like any technique, there are times when these persuasion techniques wont work.
