The letter was technically excellent. It contained all the ingredients that a sales letter should have, in the right proportions and in the right places - except for one. The letter came across as cold...

When I do this, I simply ask for your indulgence and suggest that even if something is unusual, it has potential to work wonders and give value.First a couple of questions: when you are dealing with another person--a client, a prospect, a child, a spouse, a romantic interest--how receptive are you to their energy?

10.	Bookmarks: 3	Magical Pushbutton States A decade ago, I used to compete in Okinawan Karate.Competitive karate is a roller coaster ride of glorious victories and bitter failure. There were days I found myself pummeled like a useless rag doll. And there were other days I scythed through opponents like an unstoppable juggernaut. Every punch broke through and every kick landed somewhere satisfyingly soft. (oooh how I loved that!) I would zip around the squared ring like Neo on steroids, launching a flurry of eye-bl...

14.	Bookmarks: 0	The River Of Affluence The real 'haves' are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities. On the other hand, the real 'have nots' are they who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor. - Eric HofferHow doe...

19.	Bookmarks: 3	Why The Laws Of Persuasion Work As the species whose thinking ability supposedly separates us from the animals, we really don't spend much of our life reasoning. Most of the time our minds get stuck on cruise control. Thinking takes up too much time and requires too much energy. Imagine having to think about every decision we make. It wouldn't leave us much time to accomplish anything else, would it? Most of us have a systematic way of looking at the world. When this mode is operating, our minds are perfect...
20.	Bookmarks: 3	The Desperation Cycle And Failing Motivation Many think motivation is useless because it doesn’t ensure long-lasting results. This thought tendency can be seen in what I call the Desperation Cycle. The Desperation Cycle shows how human nature influences us to take the easiest path instead of the best one. In persuasion, we need to pull people out of the Desperation Cycle and into permanent, long-term motivation. We all know we are creatures of habit. We are like water following the path of least resistance. As creat...

Once your prospects feel comfortable with you, they will be more in tune to your message and more likely to remain attentive. Audience m...
23.	Bookmarks: 3	Foundational Principles Of Persuasion Central to understanding persuasion is the concept of neutrality. The laws of persuasion are neither good nor evil. They simply exist. Just as nuclear power can be used to create electricity or an atomic bomb, persuasion can be used to create unity or to force compliance. Whether the outcome is good or bad depends on the person using the laws and how that person applies the techniques of persuasion. Some people desire to win at any cost, using any available tactics includ...
