Persuasion is also Science, not just Art
1. Being specific in asking a question will increase the chances of getting "Yes" unlimited.
2. The single word that will strengthen your persuasion is "BECAUSE". Providing a REASON for your request will increase your chances of getting "Yes" manifold.
3. An ounce of personalized extra effort is worth a pound of persuasion. Always personalize your persuasion by knowing more and more about the person and context.
4. Prior experience colors perception of the present - If you are asked to pick up a ten-pound weight in gymnasium, it will appear lighter if you has first picked up a five-pound weight and heavier if you first picked up a five-pound weight. The game is called "The theory of Relativity"!
5.
Taking responsibility for your mistakes and admitting that you were
wrong and immediately followed by an action plan is the right thing to
do. This will make you a person of honesty/responsibility/accountability in the
eyes of the people.
6. The closer people get to completing a goal, the more effort they will exert to achieve that goal. Make sure to give an impression that it's not new and already started or something done in the past.
7. The process of seeking input should engage in more collaboration(inclusion) but decision still remains with you!
8. Reciprocity always works - Do a favor so that that person is going to feel obligated to return the favor.
9. Foot-in-the-door technique - This aims at getting a person to agree to a large request by having them agree to a modest request first.
10. Labeling Technique - This involves assigning a trait, attitude, belief, or other label to a person, and then making a request of that person consistent with that label.
