6 Magic Words To Help You Get Your Way More Often
These magic words will significantly increase your influence in your daily conversations. Use them wisely.
Persuasion is not just a skill for salespeople, marketers, and entrepreneurs.
No matter what you do for a living, you’re always trying to persuade someone to your way of thinking or someone is trying to persuade you to theirs.
If you’re a student, for example, you have to persuade your teacher to accept an assignment late, to change a grade, or to take a test early.
In work settings, you have to persuade your co-workers about projects, persuade your boss about promotions, and you have to persuade customers about your products.
If you’re hungry, you have to persuade your friends and family to go out and eat, what to eat, and where to eat.
So the question isn’t whether or not you use persuasion on a daily basis, but whether or not you’re good at it.
