There seems to be an ongoing debate in the field of persuasion psychology.

Should you, as a student of persuasion skills, spend your time focusing on external techniques, or internal confidence and congruence?

One camp seems to say “learn all these ninja techniques and you’ll be able to (i hate this part…) “make anyone do anything you want” ‘
The other camp says “techniques suck! Work on yourself, and you’ll get there automatically!”

There’s also a third camp that says “hang the techniques and stuff confidence, learn the core principles and processes by human motivations, and you’ll find this super easy.

With a little intelligence, it’s actually quite easy to get to the bottom of this dilemma.

Ask yourself, what IS a technique, exactly?

They are set in stone tablets handed down from the heavens, they are either invented or observed, usually both. A technique, therefore, is just an example of what happens WHEN you have the other two sorted.

The trouble with techniques is they are limited. They work well under certain conditions, and are often extremely good training wheels, but put yourself in the chaotic throws of real life, and face new and varied persuasion situations, and you may find they slip your mind.

Practice will of course help with this, but understand the principles, and build the confidence, and you won’t need to depend on techniques dreamed up by someone else. You’ll be able to get the results you want, your way, in whatever real life situation you face.

To use a metaphor, a technique is a hammer, your ‘inner game’ is your physical strength, and the principles are the blueprint / schematics you have in front of you.

They all work in harmony.

Most people who try and learn persuasion skills focus almost exclusively on techniques. Eventually, they step back and focus on principles, and finally they decide to work on their inner game, and get their confidence sorted, and develop themselves as a person.

Once you have arrive at this stage, the building metaphor becomes a little redundant, as you’ll never have to really think of the techniques again. Like the way you talk now, being irresistibly persuasive will just be the natural way you communicate.

So, where do you go from here?

This depends on where you are in the process.

If you’re after some pure techniques, and examples of how they are used in the real world, Steven Perliari’s “The Art of Covert Hypnosis” has it’s flaws (in my opinion), but it may be worth a look if this is the angle you’re after.

Let’s say I could wave a magic wand, and give you mastery of one skill or ability.

What would it be?

1: the ability to read others like an open book

2: the ability to persuade anybody to do anything

3: the power to control your own mind, and unlock your full potential

What’ll it be?

Ok, well to be honest, the test was rigged.

I can’t wave a magic wand and suddenly give you one of those skills.

The reality is, mastery of any skills takes a little work. You didn’t master English over night, did you?

But the fact that it’s sometimes a long way to the top of the hill is NEVER a good reason for not taking the first step.

Once you build up the momentum, you’ll notice your skills building more and more, and the results and successes you experience in the real world will continue to fuel you on.

But, in this particularly case, it’s not me who holds the magic wand.

If I had a program on covert hypnosis, I would not hesitate to sell it to you here!

But – I don’t.

So, rather than sending you to a cheap knock-off, let’s go direct to the man who (if my sources are correct) literally invented the term ‘Covert Hypnotist.’

His name is Kevin Hogan. He’s a bestselling author (you know, real books, in book stores, not just E stuff), and if you want him to speak at one of your events, it will cost you $20,000.00 minimum.

Now, here’s what you need to pay close attention.

Kevin Hogan is an expert is

1: body language
2: covert hypnosis and persuasion skills
3: success and personal mastery

I told you it was a trick, didn’t I?

So, if you want to get three life skills for less than the price of one, check out this awesome discount he’s offering on the digital version of the Covert Hypnosis Revealed program.

When you can use your words and ther structure of your speech the right way, change instantly happens, and people cannot help but be drawn in by what you are saying.
