Tips
for Mirroring,
and Successful Persuasion
by Jack Cooper / Secret-Knowledge
In order to reach our goals in life we must have the support and cooperation
of other people. Therefore, having the skills of persuasion and
influence is one of the most important abilities we can possess
in today's fast-paced world. The saying "No man is an island" is
an undeniable truth.
Here are some important tips to effectively influence and persuade anyone
you desire.
1) Enter the other persons world.
-
Try to understand the situation according to their point of view.
Set aside your personal interests and concentrate on them.
-
Pretend that you are them! What would you do? What would be your
opinion? Then take the appropriate action that would be beneficial
to them.
-
Copy them. Observe how they act, how they speak, and how
they think. If they rub their forehead while they think,
act like them. If they speak clearly and at a slow pace, try to
do the same thing. This is called mirroring.
-
In due time, the people you're mirroring will subconsciously
feel more comfortable with you. It's as if they see themselves
in you.
-
A word of caution! Do not let them be aware that you are copying
them. It could be interpreted as mockery and you'll just get into
trouble.
2) Be Friendly and Be Nice.
-
Brighten up the day by smiling. raise their spirits by making a
sincere compliment to them. Little things like these count a lot.
-
People are more receptive to people that they trust, so make them
feel that whenever they need help or just someone to look up to,
you'll always be there to lend a hand.
-
Let's say you want to ask your boss a favor. Do everything you can
to please him. Overdeliver and exceed his expectations. Soon, he
will notice your efforts and will be more than glad to grant your
request.
3) Provide the people you wish to persuade with compelling evidence.
- Explain to them how your ideas or suggestions could be the most effective
techniques to implement. Show them undeniable proof that you have the
best product by way of testimonials, before and after scenarios, and
detailed comparisons against your competitors. Just make sure that
all your claims are true and verifiable. Always maintain a good reputation.
4) Find their existing needs and desires and meet them
-
People are self-centered. They are initially concerned with their
own well-being before others. If you can prove that your proposal
will provide more advantageous benefits to them than to your own,
then they will probably accept it.
-
Show that you really care about the people you wish to influence. You
can satisfy their cravings for attention by focusing on their interests,
desires, needs, and expectations. That shows you care and establishes
mutual trust and respect
-
Satisfy the "What's In It For Me?" test! This
is the most important thing to remember when persuading anyone. No
matter how close you are to becoming like them (mirroring) or how
overwhelming your evidence is, if it does not satisfy the "What's
In It For Me?" test, your persuasion efforts will not produce
satisfactory results. Always bear in mind how they will benefit from
your actions.
