Persuasion Dynamics Testimonials

"It was an exciting eye-opening experience. It showed me that rapport,  not product knowledge is the key to opening the door to a successful sales career.

The re-framing tool has opened many doors that were hard to get through before. With one client I was getting nowhere fast and it appeared that the appointment was coming to a premature close. I shifted gears and made a comment like "You know, I have people knocking on my door every week trying to sell me some thing they want me to have instead of something I want or need. Why they don't take the time to find out what I want is a mystery to me. Do you ever have this happen to you? Wouldn't it be great if just once they would try to make a friend instead of a sale?”

Suddenly we had some commonality and some head nodding to indicate that we were on the same page. We were able to relax and have a fruitful discussion that has led to a long and mutually fruitful business relationship."

"I am now often able to hear the pace of speaking of someone I am talking to and am able to understand what type of a learner they are, rather than judging their pace as different from mine."

"I use the skills daily. I am particularly competent with mirroring and anchoring. Just the other day, I was sensing resistance of one of my prospects and used the material to diffuse the tension. It was an opening meeting with a couple to whom I was referred. As part of me presentation, I always show a sample plan as I am a big believer in giving everybody something tangible when I do business. I asked the couple if they would find road mapap to achieving their goals of value and while the husband and I were in very good rapport, the wife simply shook her head and said, "No, I don't think we really need something like that". At that point we moved off that topic and I began to mirror her and anchor positive thoughts toward the plan. In no more than fifteen minutes, we had set up another meeting to set their goals so I could develop the full plan for them."

"Thank you for the opportunity to attend the seminar yesterday. Over my half century + of life, I have had the opportunity to learn different aspects of the seminar content, at different times, in different ways. The seminar, for me, was a synthesis of this prior learning enhanced with a deeper explanation of what I already knew, seasoned with new information and context that can only enhance and improve whatever communication skills I already possessed."
