New Skills-Influence And Persuasion:  Three Golden Keys And More

New skills- Influence and persuasion an important skill set part 2

In our first post, we mentioned how important it is to learn new skills like influence and persuasion.  We also laid the groundwork and basics for the subject of influence and persuasion.  To keep that post length a little shorter, we broke it into 2 parts.

In this post we will show you the:

  • 3 golden keys to influence and persuasion
  • Modern techniques that makes you effective
  • The insight to the performance tools Presentation Master you can use In my first attempt at trying to sell a product

New skills– Influence and persuasion a quick review: what’s the difference again?

The American Heritage Dictionary defines manipulation: “Shrewd or devious management, especially for one’s own advantage”.  This is most fitting when discussing the difference between influence and persuasion compared to manipulation.   There is no way we can leave this difference out of the article.

With influence and persuasion, it’s all about the opportunity for two people to come together on an opinion that is mutually beneficial. No one wins if someone loses and manipulation or hard selling tactics is not effective long term. In order for you to be successful long term with selling your thoughts and ideas, it has to be a win-win.

New skills- influence and persuasion the 3 golden keys:

  1. The emotional connection
  2. Trust
  3. Listeners point of view

New skills- Influence and persuasion the emotional connection is the 1st key

Do you have trouble getting your thoughts or ideas across? When you speak, do others listen to you, or do you feel your listener wandering?

Effective influence and persuasion is basic communications for “convincing” others.  This new skill is essential in business and everyday life. According to Bert Decker’s book: “You Have To Be Believed To Be Heard”, the most powerful communications reaches not only the mind but also the heart. I highly recommend this book for persuading and influencing others.

Influence and persuasion- trust is the 2nd key

It comes down to a simple question. Who will they trust?  At the end of the day, it always comes down to trust.  Do you trust them, or not?  Do you believe what they are saying, or not?  Is this person credible, or not?

Trust is so valuable that we spend our entire lives building trust and credibility, and rightfully so.  The more effective we are in doing that, the more successful you will be when it comes to influence and persuasion.

Influence and persuasion- listener’s point of view is the 3nd key

OK listeners, listen up!!!.  This is 2012, hardly a new year by now.  Get this right and you will have a happy new year.  The “listeners’ point of view is the foundation, cornerstone and starting point for influence and persuasion.   When you get this right and have the other two keys in place…it’s like presto.  Being effective at influence and persuasion opens the golden treasures to being more successful, more productive and more valuable….and more influential.  You are what we call- a person of influence.

In the next generation of influence and persuasion, it’s not really about you.  No one cares that you have a great idea.  Nobody is really interested in the products you sell.  When you get the right perspective on how to influence and persuade, you will be more effective and more successful at it.

You must know and understand your listener.  When you start off with “I have this great (product or idea or whatever the situation) I know you will like”, you just triggered the self preservation mechanism I discussed in the first post.  If your listener hasn’t already said no, he is already thinking no.

New skills- influence and persuasion is all about knowing your listener

In business you need to identify what they call the pain, or problem area:  When you know your listener, you know what:

  • Keeps them from falling asleep?
  • They are they really concerned about?
  • Frustrates them?
  • They are angry about and who are they angry with?
  • What they have to do and must do in their business to succeed or to grow it to the next level

In your personal lives, you identify the pleaser:  When you know your listener, you know what:

  • They truly desire most?
  • Excites your listener?
  • Appeals to them being happy?

New skills-influence and persuasion answering the two most important questions

Since influence and persuasion is used in both our everyday lives and in business, I will give you approaches to both perspectives.  When you can identify the top two pains of your listener, you are ready to start your presentation for the business perspective.  When you can identify the top two pleasers for your listener, you are ready to start your presentation for the personal perspective.

A quick comment on presentations.  A presentation is how you get others to understand and accept your ideas. In simple terms, it has an

  • Opening- with the listener’s point of view
  • Body- what you are trying to get others to understand or accept your ideas on
  • Benefits- why this solves the pain or pleaser
  • Answers to objections- why the benefits solve the issues
  • Call to action- to do something by a certain date

Here are the simple steps to influence and persuasion for a successful presentation and in this sequence.

  1. Start with the listeners point of view
  2. Show them how benefits solve the problem
  3. Prepare a list of objections that they will most likely have
  4. Summarize the listeners point of view again
  5. Have them take the action you want by a certain time frame.

Here are two examples.  The first is convincing someone on a new idea you have, the second is convincing your friends that Saturday night dinner is at the place you want to go, even though everyone has their favorite spot in mind.

Selling your idea on a new product you developed:  “Dan I know you want to attract new markets and increase your company’s profits.  New products are the heart beat of every company, especially when they appeal to your target customers and meet your profit objectives.  My idea will help you deliver those customers and add more profit to your bottom line.  You may be thinking, how can I afford to develop new products or spend money to buy them.  Dan, you don’t have to, in fact you don’t even need to buy my super widget product.  We can do a joint venture, and I will make 8% on any sales you make and I will help you to market it.”  We need a short follow up meeting to review the concept.”  Think you may get a yes here?

Selling your friends on your dinner location:

“Hey Tom and Mary.  I know you guys love the hustle and bustle in a white table cloth establishment.  And Carl and Rose, you just mentioned you love fine Italian.  Honey, we should think about Napoli’s Fine Classic Italian restaurant Saturday night.  Now I know everyone is thinking of their favorite spots, but tonight seems like it should be special, different and upbeat.  It’s not the last supper- a little humor, and this place is really heating up in the news!  I will handle the reservations for six at 8 PM.”   I think you made a good case and would likely convince the group.

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”.

New Skills Development Strategies- Innovation And Destiny Part 2

New skills innovation can change your destiny

New Skills / Innovation starts with a ripple

New Skills Development Strategies-

Innovation Can Change Your Destiny-Life’s Path

The last post laid the groundwork for understanding what innovation is as well as what destiny means.  Here are some specific strategies and techniques that will support your innovation efforts, and hopefully innovation can change your destiny or life’s path as well.

New skills-individuality

Who cares what other people say. Follow the melody of your own song. Allowing for the input of other people will only bring static to the music you are trying to make. If you have an original idea, the key is to be able to get others to understand and accept your ideas.  Don’t get side tracked when you get any negative feedback. If all those geniuses listened to their peers, we would probably still be living on horses.

New skills-be committed to innovation

Spend time on any new skill. I cannot stress this enough, although, please do not mistake this tip to tell you to quit your day job entirely.  This involves some tricky time management, but with a little discipline, you’ll be able to squeeze both in.  “Whatever you give energy to grows”!!!!  This is both good and bad, here’s why.

If you ever had a problem or even a desire to lose weight here is what happens.  The more you think about your problem, or the more you think about a diet, the more significance you place on it and that is not always good.  So when it comes to anything other than innovation, give problems their due time, give diets their due time, but, if you dwell and give either of these two examples too much mental attention, all you are doing is constantly thinking about food.  And, food is the last thing you want to think about when you are n a diet.  Give
problems sufficient time and let them be or you will wonder why you seem down.  Sure, give diets time and give your problems time, but do NOT give it too much mental energy…it will grow and manifest into something bigger than it may be.

New skills-three effective strategies

1  Physical workouts. Take a walk. Run a mile or two. Send all those endorphins running through your veins. Exercising certainly clears and relaxes your mind and allows for anything to pop up.  This is how you begin to find the creative genius within.  Compare this to giving something too much mental energy and you will notice, it is the exact opposite of it.  Quit thinking about it and let it incubate by doing something physical where you clear your mind.  The right answers and solutions will come from the subconscious.

2 Keep track of those dreams. Aren’t some of them just the craziest things that your conscious mind would never have thought of?  If you’ve had these dreams before, and I’m sure you have, this only shows you the untapped innovative power you have lying within. So jot down those notes. Those dreams may just create an innovative spark in you.  Script your dreams before you fall asleep.  It may spark the right environment on what you may want to dream about.

3 Determine your unique style. You can always tell a Van Gogh from a Matisse. You’ll know Shakespeare wrote something by the choice of words on the paper. So it is the same with you. People will appreciate your innovation more because it is uniquely yours and that no one else would have thought of what you were thinking. That will let people see how valuable an asset you are.

Don’t hide behind nifty gadgets, tools or shiny buttons. You don’t need the most expensive set of paints to produce a masterpiece. The same applies to writing. You don’t need some expensive fountain pen and really smooth paper for a bestseller. In fact, J.K. Rowling wrote the first book of the Harry Potter Series on bits of tissue. So what if you’ve got an expensive Camcorder and you can’t begin to figure out how to use the essential features to make great movies.  The artist actually reduces the number of tools he has as he gets better at his craft: he knows what works and what doesn’t.

Learn new skills-where to look for answers and solution: what to think about

  • Nothing will work without passion.
  • What wakes you up in the mornings?
  • What keeps the flame burning?
  • What is the one thing that you’ll die if you don’t do?
  • What do you do better than others
  • What do you see as something you wished you could buy
  • What one thing can you fix or improve
  • If you had the money to change something…

Sometimes people with talent are overtaken by the people who want it more. Think the hare and the tortoise. Ellen Degeneres once said that if you’re not doing something that you want to do, then you don’t really want to do it. And that’s true. Sometimes you just want something so bad you become a virtually unstoppable. And that is passion. Passion will keep you going.

Don’t fret the small stuff-inspiration. You can’t force it; inspiration hits when you
least expect it.  For those unpredictable yet inevitable moments you should prepare. An idea could strike you on the subway, and, you poor unfortunate soul; you have no sheet of paper to scribble down a thought that could change the world. Avoid these disasters. You always have your phone with you.  Send yourself an email note.

New skill- the essential 4 components to effective innovation:

1 Finding the pain- defining the problem

2 Research and development

3 have an effective innovation strategy and model as a check list for effectiveness

The new skills that make up the skill set required to be a great innovator:

  • develop your creative prowess
  • become a better problem solver
  • you need to be a great thinker and decision maker
  • you needto be able to get people to understand and accept your ideas

Notice…I mean really take note of the tools and skill sets required to be a great
innovator.  Innovation starts at the development process.  The key is to develop these skills so you can be a better innovator. Remember, innovation and improvement is a constant process. Think about your job or business. You get hired or start a business, learn the position or how to market the business, grow these opportunities: then and only then can you start to influence the company from the position you are in, or grow the business to the next level.  The proverbial learning curve.

The same is true of the innovation process.  It starts with developing from where you are through a specific set of steps in sequence, through to the final step which is breakthrough thinking.  With the right skills and tools you can easily
improve your innovation techniques!

I hope this post helps you bring more innovation into your life. Keep in mind that you’re doing these things for your own satisfaction and not anybody else’s. But soon enough they will noticed, and if you’re good at innovating, you will see the starts of what I call “the ripple effect”.  Everything should start to build from this effect…and while a tsunami may not occur from the ripple effect, the longer you keep those ripples rippling (if that’s even a word) and it will in fact grow beyond your wildest dreams.  And that my good listener’s is how you change your life, your destiny and your life’s path.

New Skills Development Strategies

Innovation Can Change Your Destiny-Life’s Path Or Help You Become A Fast Tracker In Your Carrers Or Business

New Skills- Innovation Can Change Your Destiny- Life's Path

New Skills- Innovation Can Change Your Destiny- Life's Path

New skills development strategies-  what’s in this title?

Besides some  great insight on innovation, we also use the term destiny for those listeners  that believe “destiny prevails, ”and for those doubters that believe destiny does  not exist let alone prevail,  we use the  term life’s path as the meaning behind destiny.

New skills -defining innovation

What is innovation? According to Merriam-Webster, innovation is:

Main Entry:   in•no•va•tion: noun

1 : the  introduction of something new

2 : a new  idea, method or device

New skills –innovation quote

 “Without change there is no innovation,  creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a  better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable.”- William Pollard

New Skills- what is destiny noun/

1.The events  that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future.

2.The hidden  power believed to control what will happen in the future; fate.

New skills destiny quote

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It  is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be  achieved.” –  William Jennings Bryan quotes

New skills- a new year

With the New  Year and the birth of 2012, most people view the holiday as a reflective  period, as they transition into a New Year.   The New Year for most people is about stopping or quitting something  they don’t like and want to change about themselves, or it’s the creation of promises  for an improved and better you.

So let’s  look at this subject as a way to potentially make 2012 not only a great year,  but potentially one that will change your life, your so called destiny and life’s path.

New skills innovation, change and creativity

You can’t  talk about innovation without talking about change and creativity.  At the core of innovation lies the need for  improvement.  That’s where the change
comes in.  At the core of innovation lies  creativity.  Creativity is clearly the
catalyst for change, innovation and improvement.

But  innovation is not about stopping smoking, quitting biting your nails or a way to  support the promises we make to ourselves in the form of resolutions.  So keep reading to learn more about what we  mean when we say:  innovation and change  your destiny and life’s path.

To do that,  we need to dial in a little deeper into innovation, sometimes referred to as an idea.  An idea is useful only to the inventor unless it is offered to the public. If the idea improves some product, process or service for the public, then that idea transforms into an innovation.

An innovation can be big or small. Brand-new, or just a bit different: it doesn’t
matter. An innovation can be clearly complex or seemingly simple.  Innovations are often thought of in terms of technical achievement, but can also be a design or process improvement: how you do things. A new product idea, something that solves a problem for example.  The type, industry and style of innovation are irrelevant:  an innovation’s impact determines its qualification.

By now, you are probably asking, innovate, me changing my life, my destiny by innovating.  I don’t see it, or this isn’t me.  And hey, by the way, how many people really develop breakthrough innovations that can change their lives anyway?

OK, I can agree with these truths about true breakthrough innovation, but let’s go a little further to get our arms around innovation as a basic skill set that can
work for you before we move on looking for the next quick fix or shiny push
buttons that just don’t exist.  Along the way I will also show you how to innovate at work to grow personally and professionally…maybe even get you promoted by being seen as a Fast Tracker and go to person.

New skills- and three types of innovation

  1. Sustaining innovation- these are incremental variations, small and minor changes to a theme or project
  2. Breakout  innovation- those that significantly increase the level of play with an existing category.
  3. Disruptive innovation-something just short of break through innovation: yet large enough to cause a disruption to the current way of doing things

New skills-one simple action can change your life and your business-my personal story as an example.

So I’m playing golf on a really hot afternoon: mid 90’s and I can’t seem to drink enough water.  I’m in the middle of a sand trap 165 yards from the green when I look down and see a putter in my hand.  If you’re not a golfer, you may not realize that as a big problem, since a putter is used for short distances and rolling the balls on greens.

So now I realize I am probably dehydrated.  I get through the round and start thinking about how I can drink more water to avoid this problem in the future.  Everyone knows water is bland and not really fun to drink.  But when I think back to times when drinking it was easy, I remember the tastes and flavors of water that some eateries served:  lemon water, cucumber water,
even basil water.

Next was my AHA moment when I realized the common denominators were all flavors.  To make a long story short, I jumped both feet into the world of flavoring and developed the first natural flavor drops to enhance the taste of water specifically then on to tea, coffee and dairy products.

The brand is Yum Drops Flavoring and it is now the number 1 natural flavor concentrate and flavor drop on the internet, with over 50 flavors, serving 23 countries and with 165 sales affiliates.  True story and a real life example of how innovation can change your life and affect your life’s path and with some mental energy and diligence, you can do the same.  It surely changed mine.  Check out my innovation at www.yumdropsflavoring.com

New skills-the power of innovation

Innovation is actually an inherent talent.  That means everyone has it.  Surprisingly many of us don’t think we have this skill.  Let’s look at the power of innovation.  If you’ve ever marveled at somebody’s creative prowess, guess what, you can create and innovate too. It just takes time. Everyone is born creative. The box of crayons in kindergarten was not limited to those who possessed potential; because the truth is, everybody has potential.

You know how long it took to learn to ride a bike, or drive, or to never commit the same mistake again? It’s the same with innovation. It takes some practice and a lot of time before this skill set comes easily-when you want it, at the snap of a finger.

“A single harmless snow flake can cause an avalanche.”

Our next  post will teach you the keys to innovate and once you have them, you can open  the doors to them anytime you want, in any area of your life: work, play,  whatever.  Along with that, I will even give you the insight and strategies to make 2012 a year of innovation, improvement and change, so that even you can in fact: change your life.  Innovation can change your life
