PERSUASION: HOW TO SELL ICE TO ESKIMOS

 
Being persuasive clearly requires more than logic or content. This seminar enables participants to profit from the science and technology behind persuasion. It reveals the essence of what it is that makes us embrace ideas.  There are two methods of persuasion, irrational and rational: irrational by simply agreeing, and rational, by thinking. Irrational persuasion is studied by social psychologists who provide us with powerful predictors for pliability. People can also be persuaded rationally, by logic and content. Both ways of persuasion will be addressed by Dr. Pacelle van Goethem's revolutionary hypothesis addressing what happens in the brain during persuasion and covering what people need to be persuasive. Find out what works for you. You will gain insight into persuasive design: how the persuasive styles work and how you can strategize persuasion. Furthermore you will get highly powerful insights and behaviors that can be applied instantly as persuasion techniques. These techniques were extracted by Pacelle and her team, among others, by extensively studying the most successful influencers in speeches, meetings and conversations. Some of the techniques will be presented as ultra-short exercises to find out quickly if they work for you. This all may sound too good to be true, but time and time again we hear how excited people get when they discover how persuasion works, what persuasive style they have, and how fast the mentioned sophisticated techniques can be learned. Most of all they are exited about how applying the techniques have made them be heard. We hope to meet you in one of the seminars as well.
