Exact Steps to Persuade and Influence

Here are some of the steps you can use to sell, persuade and influence other people:

  1. Start a conversation
    Ask an opening question. It may be direct or indirect to your main objective. You may ask about the traffic or the weather.
  2. Interest
    Talk and ask questions about their interests. Show it genuinely by listening more than you talk. Always shut up after you ask questions or after sharing certain ideas.
  3. Shift
    Transition to your main objective by asking questions that lead to that.
  4. Pitch
    When you pitch, identify and highlight their problem or their interests. And follow it up with pivot questions. It is like a question making them realize something.
  5. Open
    Open the door for the agreement. Let them feel that they are in control.
