Super Sweet Persuasion Tips (You're Welcome)
First, a little back story...
Several years ago at the age of 16 I dived into the crazy world of business. I'm not going to lie but it was complete hell for me in the beginning. All the products, all the information, not the right attitude, and total confusion of what to do. After what felt like forever of mass frustration and complete insanity, I was able to turn things around.
Sure, I applied key strategies and maintained a certain level of focus exactly where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do but it still felt like something was missing.
I Didn't Know How To Talk To People So I Had Few "Real" Relationships Built
What it all comes down to, relationships mean business. You build relationships with your customers, business partners, friends, whoever. When you build a deep relationship with people, it lasts a lifetime and that can equal big profits and big success for you.
A relationship with a customer can equal a lifetime of products or services purchased. A relationship with a business partner can equal a lifetime of sending traffic your way for JV's. A relationship with a friend can equal someone who will always be there and always be there to help if you need it.
To Build Great, Incredibly Deep Relationships, You Need To Learn Persuasion!
It doesn't involve becoming a master at the art of persuasion. Not one bit.
What I'd like to do is give you fellow warriors some of the best tips I've learned over the years (well, it hasn't been "that" long) to speak better and persuade more people so you can build relationships at a much more profound rate.
They Are...
- Use constructive criticism whenever someone asks you for your advice. NEVER say what you don't like about it or don't agree with and that's it.
- Whenever you tell someone about a problem, be prepared to offer a solution to that problem at the same time. People dislike whiners and complainers who don't want to really do anything about it.
- Admit you're wrong when you ARE wrong, otherwise you're going to build some unnecessary tension between you and the other person. Set aside your pride or it's going to cause you problems.
- Give advice only when you are asked for it or given permission
- Always give praise to someone who has done a good job and try and do it when others are around. It will show them that you really care and let others know they need to step up their game.
- Whenever someone sends you an email or message, make sure you reply so they know you got it and are aware. Don't leave 'em hanging
- Before you make an offer, make sure you are certain you will follow through with it. If not, don't offer.
- Don't EVER gossip. Gossip will only end you up being disliked. However, if you hear positive gossip, share it with others who will spread the positive message.
- To get someone's cooperation, offer choices and ask questions pertaining to the situation.
- Have a good reason why someone should help you beforehand and how it can help them as well.
- And what I believe to be the #1 tip, Stay Connected!
Keep engaged, follow up frequently, and don't forget to. How many times have you came in contact with someone only to completely forget about it down the line? Quite a few times probably.
