 How do you be more persuasive in life? How do you persuade people to do what they want them to do? This is Raymond Duke who's a copywriter which means that he writes the copy that persuades people to buy to actually pull out their credit card and buy a product or a service. How are you Raymond? Good to see you man. So three tips to be more persuasive. What's the first one? So three tips. Okay so I'm assuming that you're watching this because you want to be more persuasive. You want people to kind of listen to what you have to say, do what you want to do, be it buy your product or buy your service, get you to want them to watch your video. You want you want something from someone else. Okay so keeping that in mind the first thing I would say is forget the fact that you want something from someone else and think more about what they want. What it is that they want, what it is that they are thinking, what it is that you could say or do to connect with that person. Everybody out there has their own motivations, their desires, the things that they want, the things that keep them moving, the things that get them out of bed in the morning, the things that you know they work toward. If you figure out what that is then that's how you make a connection with the person. So I would say before you even try to figure out what you want from someone else, figure out what they want and that will put you in a good position where they'll be able to listen to you because if you were to approach somebody and figure out what they want and you approach them with that then they're gonna be more likely to listen to you because you're speaking to what their needs or their desires are. Think about the other person's intros. Yeah that's the first tip. Okay second one is be to the point, be direct as possible. That's tip two. Always test being direct at first because people don't have a lot of time. People are very on the move, they want to go and the more to the point you can get as especially when you're approaching someone cold, someone who doesn't know who you are and not familiar with who you are and what you do, just be direct to the point and then at that point it might be like a numbers game. You might have multiple people that you're trying to persuade or get them to do what you want to do. Be to the point, be direct and then play it like a numbers game and eventually you're gonna have people who buy onto whatever it is that you're trying to get them to do, listen to you, buy your product or your service. Okay. Okay so that's tip number two. Yeah be direct. Yeah. Tip number three is follow up. Always follow up. Don't just make it a one-done thing because there could be something that just distracted that person. They could be busy, they could have got an inside track by something else but especially by following up you're not only showing that you still care, you're making that extra effort to let someone know that you actually care enough to follow up with them. It's not just a one-and-done thing, but hey this person's making an effort to follow up with me. That puts you ahead of someone else and it makes them more likely to want to listen to you. So those are the three tips. The first one, just think about them. Take a genuine interest in their shoes, be direct and follow up. You do those three things and you're gonna have a lot more success in getting someone to buy onto your idea, doing what you want to do. Just three tips are going to apply to everything that you're doing in your life. Not even selling a product to a program, like courting a woman or dating, you know speaking, you want to get featured on a presentation, a seminar, some of those podcasts. Those are all just some great tips that you can do. Alright that was Raymond Duke. Where can we find more about you Raymond? Raymondduke.com. That's R-E-Y-M-O-N-D-D-U-K-E. I'm James Swannick.
