Hello Steemers! I love you all, please upvote and follow! Now on to the point. The truth is, in front of every door stands a person. If you want that door to open you need to get that person to let you in. If you can influence people and get people to want to help you, it makes getting what you want in life that much easier. I'm going to share with you six ways that will help get people to see things your way. This is good stuff, take notes people!
1: Reciprocity. People love to help you once you've helped them first. If someone receives a gift, they in turn feel obligated to give back.
2: Liking. Of course if someone likes you they will want to give you a good deal. Find something in common with that person, work on getting them to like you. If they think you're a good person and more importantly if they have a rapport with you it is much harder for them to say no.
3: Authority. People prefer to say yes to people who have power, who are competent and know what they are doing. If you seem confident and knowledgeable in what you are talking about. Research what you're trying to convince the other person of.
4: The sheep theory. Its that feeling when everyone around you is doing something so it must be right. Make someone feel that everyone else is doing something, that something is popular. It gives them a sense of security and safety. I deplore following the crowd and personally think most of the people are wrong most if not all of the time, however this is how our minds work.
5: Scarcity. If people think something is limited or rare they are more willing to go for it. They are afraid of missing out. Take advantage of this, it is a very strong effect.
6: Commitment and consistency. Get someone to commit to something. Get someone to take a small step in the direction you want them to go. Once they start down this path its hard for them to deviate from it. They will already be stuck in the habit of saying yes.
I truly hope this helps you! As always experiment and use these techniques, I hope they will better your life and bring you balance. Namaste!
