The saying "No man is an island" is an undeniable truth. We
need the support and cooperation of other people to help us
in reaching our goals.

Successful people know that one of the most important
abilities to possess is the ability to persuade and
influence others.

Here are some hot tips to do this effectively.

1) Enter Their World

Try to put yourself in the other’s shoes and understand the
situation from their point of view. Set aside your personal
interests and concentrate on them.

Ask yourself if you are them, what would you do? What would
be your opinion? Then take the appropriate action that
would be beneficial to them.

2) Mirror Their Body Language

People feel comfortable with those who are like them. Copy
the person you are trying to create a connection with.

Observe how they act, how they speak, and how they think.
If they rub their forehead while they think, act like them.
If they speak at a clear and slow pace, try to do the same
thing. This is called mirroring.

In due time, the people you're mirroring will
subconsciously feel more comfortable with you. It's as if
they see themselves in you.

Proceed with caution, however. Do not let them be aware
that you are copying them. They might interpret it as
mockery and you'll just get into trouble.

3) Be Cheerful and Nice

Did your mother tell you to be nice to people? She was
right. People like others who brighten up their day.

Make a sincere compliment to raise their spirits. Little
things like these go a long way to breaking the ice and
setting the relationship off to a good start.

4) Be Sincere and Trustworthy

Make them feel that whenever they need help or just someone
to look up to, you'll always be there to lend a hand.
People tend to be more receptive to those they trust.

If you have a boss or client you are trying to please,
overdeliver and exceed their expectations. Soon, they will
notice your efforts and will be more than glad to grant
your request.

5) Provide Them With Compelling Evidence

Explain to them how your ideas or suggestions could be the
most effective techniques to implement.

Show them undeniable proof that you have the best product
by way of testimonials, before and after scenarios, and
detailed comparisons against your competitors.

Just make sure that all your claims are true and
verifiable. Always maintain a good reputation.

6) Show Them “What’s In It For Them”

This is the most important thing to remember when
persuading anyone. People are self-centered. They always
put their own well-being before others.

No matter how close you are to becoming like them or how
overwhelming your evidence is, if it does not satisfy the
"What's In It For Me?" test, your persuasion efforts will
not produce satisfactory results.

If you can prove that your proposal will provide more
advantageous benefits to them than to you, they are more
likely to accept it.

7) Genuinely Care For Them

Focus more on their interests, desires, needs, and
expectations, so you can satisfy their craving for
attention, and establish mutual trust and respect.

It also shows that you really care about them and that will
make them more likely to trust you and want to work with
you.
