Persuasive Techniques That Work--Knowing The Art of Persuasion

By David Drake

It has been said by powerful persuasion circles that the biggest enemy to effective persuasive techniques is the counterfeit techniques that conceal the real ones. For this explanation almost everybody interested in learning The Art of Persuasion and its persuasive techniques have not gotten any outcome when they practiced those techniques in real life.

The underlying cause for all the counterfeit doctrines in The Art of Persuasion is because many so called persuasion gurus are telling everyone that you must master hypnotic language patterns in order to be successful. Hypnotic language patterns didn't exist until the last century so it is not possible that they are essential for persuasion artists to learn. The art of persuasion, on the other hand, is thousands of years old and has been used as a vehicle to persuade people since the history of man began.

True persuasive techniques are strategic and not linguistic. Therefore, the key to being able to employ strategic persuasive techniques is to learn the proper ingredients that must be mixed together in order to successfully sway people's behavior. In order to persuade other people, there needs to be several components involved in the persuasion formula in order for it to work and give you the things you want.

So then, this theory of turning to fields like NLP or Ericksonian hypnosis to discover secrets that we can apply to the art of persuasion is mistaken. In fact, if a persuasion artist were to try to employ hypnotic language patters to persuade someone, they would not only most likely be unsuccessful, they would also run the run the risk of of making the situation worse instead of making it better. This is true for the reason that hypnotic language patterns were not developed to persuade people outside of clinical settings.

You cannot use the persuasion techniques and the tools of hypnotic therapy and wholly rely on them to be effectual persuasive techniques in the art of persuasion. Maybe the best way to confirm this claim for yourself is to simply try hypnotic language patterns out for yourself. You will quickly become conscious that they don't work.

The Art of Persuasion is an entirely different concept than a simple hypnotic language pattern. - 31963
