'Psychological manipulation' helps you convince others

Let's review a few techniques to help you hypnotize people around you to "listen to what you hear".

Each of us is separate individuals and nobody resembles anyone. However, surely in life you have met people who have the ability to "manipulate" others with just a few sentences or actions.

Why do they always know how to lead, be leaders in work, study or simply right in their daily lives? In particular, why do you sometimes feel like they have hypnotized and brainwashed people around?

To try to explain, you even tried to imitate their words and actions but never did the same thing. So what are the real secrets behind that special and miraculous ability?

From the 'progress' effect .

The secret to "psychological manipulation" of others comes from a theory in psychology named: the effect of progress . Most of us have experienced this effect at least several times in our lives.

Mastering the progress effect you can completely turn it into your strength

Understand simply, in the process of implementing goals, we often set different small goals. Each time a small goal is achieved, people often feel excited and excited, trying harder to achieve a great goal. That is the progress effect .

Mastering this effect, you can completely turn it into your strength. If you want others to do something they didn't like at first, use this technique to 'entice' them to complete the job voluntarily.

. to the steps of the great "manipulating the brain"

The first step in this secret is to use the 'stick and carrot' philosophy. In other words, give the person you want to 'carrot' brainwash - rewards or gifts.

A typical example is how businesses 'brainwash' their customers with promotion cards, point cards . They stimulate customers to be more interested in the product, whether or not they buy it.

At work, after donating 'carrots' , you are the one to start the job you want others to do.

The combination of "sticks and carrots" is the key "brainwashing" others

Just ask your audience to do the same, work with them for the first part of the job and quit. According to psychologists, the unfinished work is like a 'stick' formed in thinking, always urging the audience to complete the task.

In addition, this reaction is called the Zeigarnik effect , implying that people will often remember the task is not done better than the completed.

This is similar to the fact that restaurants often offer multi-point scorecards to diners. This technique makes customers always have a thought to eat more at this restaurant so that they can exchange points for free meals.

The second step to control the mind, break up and give the audience more free rewards . According to psychologists, the most important problem when trying to 'hypnotize' others is patience in a long process.

During that process, you need to constantly provide motivation for the person you 'brainwash'.

To control the mind, break down many free rewards

Evidence is the result of an experiment conducted on diners who like to go out to eat. Accordingly, a restaurant issues two types of loyalty cards: one requires 12 times and the promotion 2 times, one requires 15 times and the promotion is 5 times in advance.

Surprisingly, most customers choose the second card, although the number of meals they need is 10 times. It is a testament to the attractiveness of free carrots, although they don't really have too much value.

Sale campaigns are a good example of how to apply tips to control others

The third step needs to be applied when problems arise at work. If you are not careful, the hypnotized object will be depressed and give up, that's when you fail.

However, constantly showing them the end result of the work is very close, just passing the obstacle is going to succeed immediately.

The repetition of the reward image will eventually print on the cortex, turning the difficulty in work into a driving force for the object to continue being "led by the nose."

Always sow your audience with beautiful images, so happy to achieve your goals!

The fourth step is also the last step for you to fully master the minds of others. No matter how hard the job is, always give each reason a beautiful, soaring beauty.

This philosophy is applied by entrepreneurs very thoroughly, especially in the implementation of promotions. Instead of advertising if you buy a lot of goods you will get a free product, you should make the buyer feel that "a gratitude to you".

Few people know that the words themselves will make the subject buy subjectively and be more easily 'brainwashed'.

The last thing to remember, use the secret above for the right purposes!
