Would you believe, you can manipulate anyone within a moment? Many people find it hard because they simply don't know the right way to do that. However, there are some tricks and techniques that makes this unimaginable task possible. You can persuade anyone, can make them agree with you and can make them do what you want without any force.
Successful salesman to big companies, and even politicians are using these hacks to persuade people. It’s not a magic but science-based research principles that are stored in our brain from the very primitive time.
No.1) SCARCITY
Humans are thoughtful of whether they are going to miss something out or not. That makes them do thinks which they might had never supposedly done.
For example when a book gets banned the number of readers for that book increases instead of decreasing. Surprisingly many of the readers might never had read the book. Then why does that happen?
No.2) LIKING
Pandas are cute. Their cuteness makes us fall in love with them irrationally. Billion of dollars are spent to make sure their existence would last long in this planet which is great.
But unfortunately the sad part is there are many other species which are at risk of extinction and saving some of the species are much more easier and very important for our environment, eco system and for human themselves.
No.3) SIMILARITY
Having something in common makes people closer. So, whenever you meet a new person try to search for similarities. Try to figure out what similarities you guys have in common related to opinions, interest, hobbies, personalities or even in backgrounds.
No.4) COMPLIMENT
You will hardly find people who dislike praises. People love to hear compliment and it has an impact on their next step. They get confident in their actions.
It’s truly strange how people like it even after knowing that the other person is giving fake compliment.
So just imagine what kind of an impact will a sincere compliment have.
No.5) CONTACT and co-operation
The amount of time we pay a visit and see people also makes us like them.
We like people who approaches us regularly or time to time.
No.6) CONDITIONING and Association
Try to surround yourself with commendable things and people.
To us models are elegant and attractive. Therefor we like not only them but also the car placed behind them. Now you know why we find beautiful and gorgeous girls in every ad from toothpaste to car.
No.7) COMMITMENT and consistency
American soldiers were kept under Chinesesoldiers possession at the time of Korean war
Chinese soldiers did everything starting from interrogating them gently to torturing them hard in order to get valuable insight information from American soldiers. But all in vain.
This time they asked those American soldiers to write just one negative line daily about America like America is not an ideal country, America has job problems, communism is not bad etc.
Daily writing small bad things about America made some of them turn against the country and finally this principle worked.
Later they supported and fought with china.
No.8) AUTHORITY
Nurses were told to do things in an experiment that were completely against the hospital regulations. But still nurses ended up completed all the acts without any objection or fear. You might be wondering why?
Because a doctor told them to do those things. The fun part is that the doctor was not even a real doctor. He was requested to act as a doctor so that the principle could be proven.
Since our childhood we are taught to obey our superiors. We are told to listen to them and act as they say without question because they know better then us.
