Article: This is social skills 101: get people laughing and they'll like you better. They'll be happy, they'll associate you with happiness, and they'll be that much more easily persuaded. Humans love being happy if you can give them that, they may give you what you want, too. Get them talking about something they really enjoy, too. On top of this topic making them happy, if you seem interested in the same topic, you'll be that much more relate-able as well. Recent research has shown that "yeah" is a very powerful, persuasive word. It turns out people like to remain consistent. Get them saying "yeah," and they'll want to continue saying "yeah." They'll be in a positive, accepting mood if you get them agreeing early on. Keep talking in the affirmative. Talk about things they love, topics you agree on, and everything that has them saying "yes" and never saying "no." Then, when you bust out the golden question, they won't want to break the pattern they've established. Have you ever had a guy or girl pester you for your number? You said no, you said no, you said no, then finally you caved and just said yes. While it may not be the most refined tactic, it definitely works! if you got a "no" initially, don't slow down. Persistence can totally pay off. Just be sure not to be too annoying. Asking and asking and asking can make some people rather infuriated. Space out how often you ask to not seem obnoxious or relentless. Most people tend to rise to the occasion, or what people expect of them. If your parents didn't care about your grades and thought you'd fail, odds are you weren't a stellar student.

This is true for whether it's your children, your employees, or your friends. You put out into the environment what you'll get back. To get people to behave how you want, expect it. In most cases, they'll want to make you happy and avoid conflict. Emphasizing to someone that they don't have long to act can push them to action. You can either emphasize that the product is scarce or just that you'll find someone else. This generates a need that says they have to act now. Whether it's true or not! Say you're managing a team and you give them a 3-week deadline when really the project has to be due in 3 months. In 3 weeks, you give them 2-week extension for their "great work." They thank you and feel super relieved &ndash, and they might even meet your 5-week goal! Even if you have to fake it. Turns out humans prefer cockiness over expertise it's how all those hooligans on TV who make false predictions still have jobs. The more you act like you know what you're talking about, the more credible you seem. The more credible you seem, the more trustworthy you are. If your listeners don't agree, speak quickly. Speak slowly if they do. Research shows that if they don't agree, speaking quickly doesn't give them time to formulate counterarguments. If they do agree, speak slowly, so they can take in every word, becoming more persuaded. Make sure your body language and eye contact are consistent with your words. If your voice sounds enthusiast and full of life but your body is hanging there like a limp noodle, your audience will not be convinced. Confidence is verbal, yes, but it's incredibly physical, too.
