SELLING OR MANIPULATING?You will find it basic if I say that, in sales, manipulation techniques are often used.These can range from manipulating the facts, making flattering comparisons, using emotional manipulation, and/or many others.As a persuasion expert, I have catalogued all different types of manipulation, and that is what you will find in this course.You'll learn more about how every single type of manipulation can be leveraged in a sales setting.LET ME TELL YOU.EVERYTHINGSome people - including me - love to know what they're getting in a package.And by this, I mean, EVERYTHING that is in the package.So, here is a list of everything that this course covers:You'll learn about the nine main types of manipulation you can fall prey to (consistency manipulation, emotional manipulation, effort manipulation, standard manipulation, pressure manipulation, identification manipulation, fact manipulation, context manipulation and labeling manipulation;You'll learn about how the psychological principle of consistency works, and how people use it to force others to act in alignment with what they have said or done before;You'll learn about the persuasion technique of active choice - forcing someone to state something in the first person, such as "I will do this" or "I will buy" in order to force them to keep aligned with their statement later;You'll learn about the persuasion principle of escalation of commitment. By asking for small favors or small agreements, you can then ask for bigger and bigger ones later;You'll learn about why getting someone to take action on something makes them more likely to value it. For example, the IKEA effect - you will like more a piece of furniture if you've put in effort towards assembling it yourself;You'll learn about how habits are a form of consistency. What you do once, twice ends up becoming ingrained in you;You'll learn about the psychological principle of rationalisation - how people make emotional decisions, and then later try and justify them with logic;You'll learn about how emotional manipulation works, by forcing the other side to feel a specific emotion, or feel guilty for their actions against you, such as emotional blackmail;You'll learn about how hype and desire work by building up something in a person's mind, regardless of its actual value in reality;You'll learn about how the concept of twisting the knife works, by making someone visualize the nightmare scenario of something to later drive them to action;You'll learn about how bullying and emotional blackmail work, taking negative actions and forcing the person to feel responsible for them;You'll learn about how fear and panic work.

the other side takes action repeatedly as to never give you an opportunity;You'll learn about how identification manipulation works, through the other side pretending to have something in common with you to make you more influenceable;You'll learn about how empathy works, showing understanding of the other side, but also how it can be manipulated to make you feel understood and be more influenceable;You'll learn about how affect labeling works, decreasing the intensity of your emotions by addressing them verbally, and stopping you from feeling emotions intensely;You'll learn about how mirroring works, making someone feel subconsciously understood, which leads them to trust the other side more and be more influenceable;You'll learn about how common ground works - mentioning tastes or life experiences in common with others to make them trust you more and be more influenceable;You'll learn about why the biological principle of caring about others makes us tend to be nice to others who understand us - or pretend to - and makes us open to manipulation;You'll learn about how fact manipulation works through simplifying, hiding or just lying about facts;You'll learn about how statistics can be misleading by changing axes, comparisons, timeframes or others;You'll learn about how lack of transparency about competing or contradictory information can make fake facts seem more real, and why comparison with other elements is crucial to avoid this type of manipulation;You'll learn about how context manipulation works -

by having one highlight and ending on a high note, people forget about negative or boring parts of a presentation;You'll learn about why context manipulation relies on us subconsciously accepting the options we're given instead of contesting them;You'll learn about how labeling manipulation works - by giving something a specific name, even if simplistic or negative, it tends to stick, and spreads easily;You'll learn about how bullying works by using negative labels - labeling someone a "failure", or "loser", or similar, and making it spread;You'll learn about how stereotypes are a type of labeling manipulation - labeling a large quantity of people with simplistic names;You'll learn about how the presence or absence of a name can humanize or de-humanize someone, making them a "true person" or a nameless stranger;You'll learn about how scientific-sounding words can be used to make something seem of higher authority, without actually changing anything in it (saying "a theory" instead of "a thought", or using words in product names such as "quantum", "exponential", "atomic" or similar);MY INVITATION TO YOURemember that you always have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there is no risk for you.Also, I suggest you make use of the free preview videos to make sure the course really is a fit.
