The words "tricks that should be illegal" is a trick to get people to watch the video to the end. Clever.

I had a doctor do this to me. I was seeking advice on an elective procedure, and he said, "If you were my brother I would tell you to do this." It evoked powerful emotions (and I ended up doing what he said, and it was successful), and I have also not forgotten it, and have used it myself.

Stand outside of a flower shop with a guitar case.... got it! 😂

I studied marketing but decided against going into the field solely based on how morally corrupt many widely used marketing practices are. You'd be amazed the lengths major companies have gone to studying human psychology and they DO NOT CARE of it hurts their target. Bottom line is all that matters.

Pre-Suasion: things you can do before your message/conversation that improve chance of success.
A. Background Image
B. Unity (especially family)
C. planting a seed. Your message is the seed, be sure to prepare the ground before trying to plant
1. Free giveaway for client, give to client family instead
2. ask for ADVICE vs opinion or ideas for improvement
3. asking for raise? do it right after good feedback from boss or customer
4. asking for donations? build unity between you and them or the recipient and them
5. Environment should reflect goals. ex motivational phrases on office walls
6. Get them in the right mindset before delivering the message (i.e. prepare the ground before planting)

One of these psychological tricks discussed in Robert Cialdini's book "PRE-suasion" is the use of context and anticipation to prepare people for a specific message or action. When used ethically, this trick can help people be more open and prepared for important information or proposals. For instance, a therapist uses this technique to prepare a patient for a difficult discussion about their mental health. By approaching the topic gently and priming it, the patient feels more comfortable and open to treatment and improving their mental health.

Robert Cialdini is a great writer and psychologist. His book "Influence" is one of my favourites in this area.

In the car business, giving the customer a larger number than what you want is called "bench marking." When the car sales person says, "That car is listed at $35, 000, BUT WAS on sale for a less during a special pricing sale." This bench marks the price high. The sales person only wants $25, 000 for that car so they then say, "The sales manager might keep that special price, let me talk to him/her about keeping that lower price?" Now the sales person is ON YOUR SIDE and "fighting for you for a lower price." It is all in the game.

Very impresive presentation. I have 35 years of corporate sales experience and have been trained in over 17 professional selling strategies. Anyone not watching this is going to be left behind! Awesome. I look forward to looking at more of your videos,

My problem is I’m super aware of them when people try to do these things to me, and it pisses me off (quietly).

[antoniskandarov]

Good work, but please stop using thumbnails not related to the content. It seems clickbait-y and frustrating. There was not a single line about eye contact in this one.

I had a co-worker that would compliment my work before asking for a favor. I always said no.

[johnmcevoy]

I was denied several sales positions because I failed the desired personality inventory. They want image-conscious, trendy, superficial, impulsive, and 'morally flexible'. In other words, honest, forthright, knowledgeable sales people are the antithesis of marketing.

So the moral of the story is to have principles that are strong enough to overcome mental manipulations. Not surprising that principles, virtues, and morals are not taught today as prominently as they should be.

I appreciate your example of listening to your favorite YouTuber before writing the script. Fantastic video that I want to utilize to increase learning/investment in my science classes

I really like how you wrapped personal examples into the summary. Great job on this video.

[Linusgump]

Except for #5, which is aimed towards yourself, all of these only work if your goals or desires match with the other person’s. If there is no connection, it’s very easy to say no to other people’s requests.
Anytime a stranger asks me something, with the intent to sell/give/buy/borrow/etc, I automatically assume they are trying to take advantage of me and this assumption decreases their chances of success with me.
Even among people I know, I have to see my benefit in their offer before I can agree to anything, and it’s the extent of that personal value that will determine my response.
I’m not saying I’m immune to these tactics, but it does make it harder to fall for them when you automatically assume there is a ploy against you.

Your voice was very persuasive (and engaging) right from the get-go, so I listened more! Well done. Great points on how we are all subtly "lead" to decisions! Subscribed. All.

_Loved all the real-time drawing imaginary describing your dialogue... great touch!_ Well put together "advice". Thank you. High Quality... and it was a useful video.
