There are no secrets to influence and persuasion

Influence And Pesuasion Is All About Getting Others To Understand And Accept Your Ideas

Influence And Persuasion:  There Is No Secret, But There Are Golden Keys From Learn New Skills Blog

 

Influence and persuasion– notable quotes

As Plato observed, “persuasion is the key to power.”

The greatest ability in business is to get along with others and to influence their actions.John Hancock

How many phone calls do you get at home from telemarketers?  We now seem to be getting more and more on our cell phones.  Now, if I don’t recognize the number, I won’t answer it.  But it gets worse.  While text messaging from people trying to convince you buy something, or take some action isn’t that bad right now, trust me, it will grow in magnitude over the next twelve months.  And as far as emails, they have taken over the majority of emails I get and they are very annoying.

Influence and persuasion- an important skill set

Learning new skills like influence and persuasion is a very important.  To keep this post length a little shorter, the post will come in 2 parts. In the 2nd post I will show you the

  • 3 golden keys to influence and persuasion
  • Supported by modern techniques
  • The insight to the performance tools you can use everyday to be more effective in areas of influence and persuasion.
  • Learning how to be an effective influencer

In this post, I will deliver the meaning and the difference between the two subjects as well as the background to influence and persuasion, and why it is the golden keys to the golden treasure!!!   A side footnote:  Influence and persuasion is obviously about selling.  But typically, sales are transactions:  You receive money from a customer for the benefits they receive from buying your product.   This post is not about selling a product or service, but about getting people to understand and accept your ideas.

Influence and persuasion- the essence of the meanings

Influence and persuasion is all also about how to convince others to understand and accept your ideas or solutions to problems. Basically anytime you need to convince someone to your way of thinking.

Influence and persuasion- we experience thousands of times a year

We literally give thousands of presentations a year in our normal daily lives.  Every day we experience problems and issues that need these skills; the clerk in the store who won’t accept a return on a product because the package is open.  You want to go out for dinner but you can’t seem to agree on what restaurant.  Maybe your boss is looking at two different approaches and you want him to take yours.  Influence and persuasion helps get the results you need along life’s journey.

Influence and persuasion is common place in our daily lives.  For example, while listening to the TV at breakfast, a number of advertisements will be presented to you in such a short time frame: one for a new breakfast bar you eat on the go that helps you lose weight, or, how about driving to the golf course where billboards and signs on the sides of the road flourish.  Even on buses and occasional car and truck people try to convince viewers to consider certain products.

Influence and persuasion is being used everywhere, by everyone, yes, even the little boy next door who knocks on your door and says, “Good morning Mr. Wilson,” would you like to buy a holiday wrap  to support my Scout troop’s plans to take a camping trip this Summer?  Some forms of influence and persuasion can be very, very powerful.

Defining influence and persuasion– the meanings defined

If you want to really develop a deep understanding in the field of influence and persuasion, than a good place to start is with the definition of the words themselves. These words are often used interchangeably, however, if you want to nurture a deeper understanding of the subject you need to start with a deeper understanding of their definition.

 

All About Influence
All About Influence- Being An Influencer

 

Influence and persuasion- all about influence

Influence is a catch-all term. Whenever you attempt to deliberately direct or change a person’s thoughts, feeling or behaviors than influence is said to have occurred.

Influence is trendy.  What passed for influence last year or last month may not be influence at all today. Influence is free to change, which it does on its own accord.  We must we be creative to remain relevant. “Leadership is Dead”: How Influence is Reviving It, is a new book by Jeremie Kubicek, explaining how to become truly influential: by overcoming the desire for self-preservation, a tendency that sabotages many leaders today. Long story short: Influence is personal—customized by your current circumstances, interests and preferences.

The problem is that influence is also the most underused tool and asset in the world. And the primary reason is- the enemy of influence is a universal human trait we mentioned earlier: self-preservation.  Because of that, the approach today is much softer than ever before. You influence by establishing trust first and foremost. That is the current perspective on the subject of influence. Hard selling is absolutely out today.  The days of selling on the premise of instilling fear: you need this insurance policy to protect your family in the future, is now replace with a much softer approach- life insurance is prudent for smart people and a basic stepping stone in the financial planning process.

Persuasion Is An Art

Persuasion Is An Art

Influence and persuasion- all about persuasion

Persuasion is a powerful force in daily life and has a major influence on society as a whole. Persuasion is a part of education and learning. Persuasion is also a part of recreation and relaxation. This might be true in some scenarios, but persuasion isn’t just a pushy salesman trying to sell you a car, or a television commercial enticing you to buy the latest and greatest product. Persuasion is often more effectual than force. The key elements of this definition of persuasion are that: persuasion is symbolic, utilizing words, images, sounds, metaphors, etc. and that it involves a deliberate attempt to influence others.

Persuasion is really a subset of Influence. It is when you use communication to try and deliberately change a persons’ attitude. If a person’s attitude has changed then persuasion has occurred.

It’s a subtle but important difference.  Each of the terms above is concerned with deliberate change- but they are different in that persuasion requires a certain level of communication such that an attitude change is adopted by the person. This communication is likely to be a combination of verbal and non-verbal messages. Influence on the other hand can be achieve without any communication and is directed to achieving a specific external behavioral change without gaining any change in the person’s attitude.

Social Influence investigates the causes of human change–whether that change is a behavior, an attitude, or a belief.

Persuasion attempts to win “the heart and mind” of the target (group or individual; in this case maybe your teen). Thus, in order to persuade you must bring about a change in attitude, which is basically an emotion-based change.

With the foundation set, my next post will deliver the three keys to influence and persuasion, some basic techniques to develop the new skill, as well as a powerful tool to make influence and persuasion a systematic process, every time you need to influence others or persuade in some way.  Best of all, you will discover what it means to be a real “influencer”.

Learn New Skills-Skill Development Strategies

OK learn new skills Bloggers’ and Listeners’.  We are ready to wrap up 2011 and have set our eyes on the New Year for learning new skills.

Learn new skills– reflective thinking

Reflective thinking is looking to the past. Reflective thinking involves personal consideration of one’s own learning.  It considers personal achievements and failures and asks what worked, what didn’t.  I wrote an entire post on it so you can always review it for more details…it’s time to move on.

Learn new skills- what did we learn in 2011

Thinking and creativity are two essential skill sets for improving performance, getting ahead, getting hired and getting promoted.

Free Internet Marketing Resources–  Overview

“It’s much easier to double your business by doubling your conversion rate, than by doubling your traffic.” Jeff Eisenberg

Some say- internet marketing is all about content, I say internet marketing today is all about relationships.  Why the shift, why the change?

We don’t have any quick fixes, shiny gadgets, buttons or the newest gigs that bring
instant riches, like some products and websites claim.  Our strategies for your personal growth and development, and your future successes are grounded in you having the right knowledge, skill sets and performance tools so you can do the right things-
right.  Hopefully if you do, you will ultimately live a fuller, richer life with the life style you desire.

When it comes to internet marketing, I’m no genius. It probably took me longer to get my arms around the learning curve than most.  Even now I struggle between the
concept of marketing and the internet. For me the difference is clear. While I’m no techie, marketing today is the internet, even if you are an  offline business model.

I now have several successful businesses online selling consumable products and
information products.  My conclusion after fours years is, the more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.  But for me, it’s a life long journey, a hobby and a passion.  If this top 50 free skills and performance tools shortens your learning curve, than I have
accomplished my goal to share and educate you.

If you are a small business offline, it’s time recapture the web’s business-expanding
potential with these free resources for internet marketing.  If you are already embracing online marketing, maybe it’s time to grow to the next level. If you are new to online marketing, statistics show that right now over 65% of all consumers look to the web first for local business.  So, offline or online marketing, the internet is a great tool to grow and expand your business.

Free Internet Marketing Resource- The Value

As more businesses realize the importance of a competitive online presence,
corporations large and small, start-ups, government organizations, and
non-profits alike are seeking high level skills and performance tools for
online marketing, to increase online visibility.

Internet Marketing is all about increasing online exposure, attracting new customers and
converting customers online and offline through contents: by attracting customers, educating your prospects by helping them and hopefully converting prospects to customers so a business can increase revenue and profits.

Here is the best of the best free websites and free marketing resources online.

# 1 Ranked Free Internet Marketing Resources Online And Ranked 11 Out of 50-. WordPress Blogging
Software
 

Using WordPress blogs are very beneficial because they are extremely SEO friendly and
the really good news is-search engines really like and favor them. To me, blogs are like aspirin.  If the drug companies
would have known how beneficial it is, they would keep them prescription so they can charge more for them.  Blogs are just like aspirin-and that they could be the best free internet strategy for the non tech IM Professionals.  I don’t want to mislead you here.  They are equal to websites, and websites are very important.  Websites are a lot more complicated to get right and keep right, and SEO is no simple task either.  This is one of the easiest ways to create profitable websites and adding helpful “plug-ins” makes them even more useful. You can use WordPress blog as a stand alone website with its own domain name or in combination with a regular website; make sure to have them keyword related.  Then post away, add keyword links, images and videos to your posts and just keep doing it. There are plenty of free Plugins and they are great performance tools for internet marketing.

# 12 Free Internet Marketing Resources Online- Free Web Submission

They provide free  manual and auto submission to the highest rated, free Internet Search Engines  and Directories. This is a one stop submission service to get your website  listed in all the internet search engines and directories.  They are listed and ranked according to  popularity. Rankings are determined by Alexa.com and Google.com and are updated  regularly.   You need for search engines to find you before customers can find you easily.

# 13 Ranked Free Internet  Marketing Resources Online- Search Engines/Keyword Tools.

Shows list of related search counts and advertiser competition.  Everyone marketing
online uses this tool frequently.  It’s the first place to see if there is traffic for the keyword, name or phrase you chose for your business or new products.  It gives you monthly search results and global results for how many websites contain that keyword search.  Very valuable tool..

# 14 Free Internet Marketing Resource Online-  Google Analytics

Once you get the traffic, you are only half way there.  Next you need to know what that traffic is doing once it gets to your site, and that is the key.  I use this program to make my online pages perform better and bring in more sales. Skills and performance tools is
everything on the web.  I find Analytics good for fine-tuning my “buy now pages” on all my sites, and just as important, I use it to increase the conversion rate of my traffic.  This has made all the difference in the world in developing my online business.

# 15 Free Internet Marketing Resource Online-YouTube Videos

The numbers are out.  35% is the actual percentage of all searches being conducted in the market today, are actually coming from videos.   Videos are the future of marketing on the web, so using YouTube videos to promote your site or product is a no-brainer.  Videos are another key to SEO tanking.  Here’s why: the reason is mainly because Google will place a popular video on their first page listings, almost instantly.  Some webmasters suggest you shouldn’t use YouTube videos because it will draw traffic away from your site, but I find it’s a fair trade off for the ranking and SEO support it
provides.  Three steps to video marketing:

  1. I always create a video as one of my first steps in an online
    campaign
  2. I launch the videos on an RSS feed
  3. I submit the feed to all social media sites.

# 17 Free Internet Marketing Resources Online- Alexa

# 18 Free Internet Marketing Resources Online- Ezine Artilces

It’s still about content.  Sure it’s more about relationships, but content is king for finding customers and building relationships.  Provide high valued articles and people will find them and read them.  Article marketing is still my most effective marketing tool on the web, maybe because I used this approach right from the beginning.  I find using sites like free submission sites and directories vital to a complete online promotion.  I know using articles is considered “old school” but this method still works, especially using unique articles with good solid content.

# 19 Free Internet Marketing Resources Online-Animoto

opportunity to participate in relevant ways.  It also provides a launch pad for other
marketing tactics.  Social media is not an island.  It’s a high-power engine on a
larger marketing ship.” – Matt Dickman, technomarketer.typepad.com

Social Media-defined-

The term Social Media refers to the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn
communication into an interactive dialogue. With today’s economic conditions, it
is not enough anymore for businesses to have just an email address or customer
service number on its website.  Customers want to engage with companies in new and authentic ways, and thanks to social media, now they can. From Facebook to Twitter, businesses that embrace social media are finding their new transparency rewarded with new and deeper client relationships.
