Strategy
For example someone who is skilled at influencing others usually does some or all of the following things:
- gets themselves in the best possible emotional and mental state
- holds the belief that he can get his point of view across to others in a way that invites the attention of those around him
- talks to herself in an encouraging positive internal voice
- ‘reads’ the body language of the other person
- subtly matches the other person's body language in a respectful way
- senses the kinds of words that the other person is using in their conversation
- uses the same kinds of words in response
- reads the signals that tells them when they have rapport
- identifies what is important to the other person in how they make decisions
- recognises when he has a strong enough connection with the other person to take a lead in the conversation in a way that other person will accept
