Introduction
Persuasion… It’s one of those words that has a significant connotation attached to it. When you hear the word, chances are your mind is instantly flooded with ideas and feelings that accompany it — even though those ideas and feelings extend beyond the true definition of persuasion and may not actually be based in fact.
Persuasion is not manipulation. Manipulation is when someone has a negative influence on someone else by using unethical means, like intentionally lying to them. Persuasion on its own is neither ethical nor unethical. It is the reason for the persuasion and the way that the persuasion methods are used that determines whether it is ethical or not.
Persuasion is a bit like words, in that words also are not good or bad on their own. Words are just words until they are used by people. It is the way that people choose to use them that gives words their meaning and energy. Words can be used positively to lift people up, or negatively to tear people down. Words, like persuasion, are powerful. It is not until we get them in context and we know the intention of the person who used them that we understand whether the words were meant to be good or bad.
So let’s dig a little deeper and figure out what persuasion really is. Persuasion is the art of being able to get others to do what is in their own best interest when it also benefits you. Think of it as a win-win situation. Dale Carnegie said, There is only one way to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it.
That’s where persuasion comes in. People use persuasion to try to influence the beliefs, actions, and attitudes of others. Persuasion can often be seen at work on television commercials and in advertisements as companies try to get you to buy their goods, at the car dealership as the salesman delivers his sales pitch, during political campaigns as candidates court voters, in homes as parents get their children to clean their rooms or do their homework, and even in a courtroom as lawyers deliver their arguments to the jury.
Persuasion is using your influence to change people’s attitudes or actions. There are two main types of persuasion. Systematic persuasion appeals to a person’s sense of logic and reason. Heuristic persuasion appeals to a person’s emotions or habits. Both types of persuasion share the same goal; they just go about achieving it differently. ¹
The guiding Rules of Persuasion are not inherently good or bad on their own. They simply exist. They are neutral. It is the person using the persuasive techniques that makes them good or bad. Some people will always be willing to do anything to win, no matter the cost. Those people are the ones who don’t think twice about misusing the Rules of Persuasion, as long as it is personally beneficial to them. They are not concerned with making sure that what they convince someone else to do is in that person’s best interest. They would be willing to stoop to the lowest levels of using blackmail, bribery, temptation, or even violence, as long as they got what they personally wanted.
People who follow the Rules of Persuasion understand the power of persuasion and only want to use its Maximum Influence in positive ways. They only choose to use persuasive techniques to get what they want when it is a win-win situation and a good outcome for everyone involved. When the rules are followed, persuasion has the power to do amazing things. Persuasion can bring peace between countries in conflict, can motivate a team no one thinks can win to rise to the occasion and become victorious against all odds, can help a boss to boost employee efficiency and morale, can convince a person to follow a doctor’s advice to get a potentially life-saving test done, and even convince a criminal to release innocent people without causing them harm. ²
This book will present many powerful persuasive techniques. They should always only be used with
