Persuasion is a subtle, complex disciplined art form; which requires skill.
Some can make people do whatever they want, while others have trouble asking for a pee break....
Someone who knows a lot about the human brain and how people think will find it much easier to persuade others.
Once you understand what makes people “tick,” you can really use it to your advantage.

Reciprocity Norm

There is countless merchants out there who could take your shirt off your back and sell it back to you if they wanted to.
And don’t even get us started on commercials.

It retty much boils down to, “You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.” humans are more likely to do something for you if you’ve already done a favor for them. People feel a sense of obligation to pay you back if you’ve done something nice in the past for them..
Simple. First, do a favor for them. It doesn’t even have to be big, either – it could be as simple as getting them a cup of coffee or buying them lunch.
When the time comes and you need something from them, or you’re trying to persuade them to share your opinion, they be more likely to be swayed into your line of thinking.

Copying Them

The “Chameleon Effect.” This means is that if you mimic someone’s body language, they’re more likely to be agreeable towards you
If someone nods their head in a particular way when talking, you might want to do the same if you want them to agree to whatever it is you’re asking of them.
Research show we tend to like people who have similar facial expressions, mannerisms, and posture to our own. If it happens on a subconscious level.
It onlyworks if people aren’t aware that they’re being mimicked.
So keep your copycat routine on the subtle side – otherwise they might think you’re making fun of them!

Rambling

When you think about it, this one makes a ton of sense. How many times have you been overloaded with information by someone, and the more they say the less you seem to like what they’re saying? It’s easy to get caught babbeling, especially when you’re desperate and really need something
In the art of persuasion, less is more. focus on one or two main points at the most

Use their Name And Title

People skilled in the arts of persuasion love to use the names of those they are trying to persuade. And the reasons for this are pretty simple. People in general love to hear their own names, they feel respected. And when you use someone’s name, you make them feel like they’re not just a means to an end. Instead, the interaction becomes a personalized, intimate and friendly affair. It’s also a really good idea to use their proper title – like Mr., Mrs., Dr., Professor, and so on.

Human beings value status very highly. It’s very easy to tell when you’re being spoken down to, and people do not enjoy this. Instead, they like to feel as though they are the ones in control. You can use this to your advantage by using their names and their titles as a mark of respect.
Instead of feeling like they are being forced into doing something they don’t want to do, they feel like they are the ones who are in control, and that will instantly make them more easily persuaded.

Just don’t say their name too often, or they might begin to feel ridiculed and patronized!

Talk fast

Talking quickly actually gets results. Speaking quickly is not the same as rambling, however. The key here is to speak as quickly as possible, getting your main points across in a speedy and efficient manner.
The science behind this : When you speak in a speedy manner to someone, their ability to form a coherent rebuttal is extremely impeded. They will have less time to process what you’re saying, and in the end, they’ll be much more likely to agree with you.

Contrasting

A classic bargaining technique that almost everyone is familiar with is pretty simple. Start big, and slowly back down from your original demand. Once you have lowered your demand, they will feel like they’ve “won” the haggling war,
It’s always a good tactic to ask for much, much more than what you actually want. So it ends as a“compromise” which is exactly what you wanted in the first place!
It’s known as a concept called “Contrasting.” Basically, the human brain sees things in relative terms. If you start out asking for $100, but later “settle” for $20, the person who has the money will see themselves as saving $80.

Repetition Bias

If you tell a lie often enough, and keep repeating it no matter what, people will start to believe it. And you know what? -Certain colognes will make women love you.
utterly crazy BUT it will work
So when you’re trying to convince someone of something – never give up! Continue to repeat your opinion, over and over again.
The best part? You don’t even have to be right for this to work!

Have a plan

You’d be amazed what a few simple things can do when trying to persuade someone. As with any important undertaking, the key is in the preparation. The more you do to plan out how you’re going to convince someone or persuade them, the more success you will have in the long run. One example is Priming. Simply put, Priming is doing everything you can to help that person come to a decision – without them even realizing it.

Watch your words

Obviously, some words are better than others, and there are words you should use and words you should stay away from. Let’s start with big, complicated words. When we use lingo that people might not understand, they think their intelligence is being challenged.
If your trying to sell a spaceship to someone, you probably don’t want to be talking about the continuum transfunctioner and the plasma drives. ;)
Generally speaking, nouns have a positive effect when compared to verbs. So instead of asking people whether
they want to “help” you,
tell them instead how much you need them as a “helper.”
It helps people feel like they belong to a group. It should also be obvious that polite expressions such as please and thank you go a long way. In addition, certain words are associated with negative emotions, while others are associated with positive thoughts.
So choose your words carefully!

Mimicking

Mimicking gestures and posture and offering a warm hand for the initial handshake are two good ways to get people to like you.
NOTE: a hand that is too cold is bad, but a hand that is too warm is just weird.^^
