26 Ways to Persuade People to Do Stuff (INTRODUCTION and CHAPTER ONE)

“26 Ways to Persuade People to Do Stuff” is your secret to winning people over to your way of thinking.
This book will tell you about how to win the game of persuasion. It's really recommended for the business owners, entrepreneurs, negotiators, salespeople and also for the university students like us. Why I said like that? Because it has a lot of benefit from learning how to be more persuasive without being pushy. What are the benefits of learning persuasive? With the persuasive communication, we can reach our goals when we offered something to our friends or our clients. I choose one case,  sometimes in the college, there are a lot of seminars and the committee must be active to share the information and also persuade the target of students who will join the seminar. Can you imagine how the target will success if the committee doesn't have a skill of persuading? So, in this in this posting, I really want to share to all of you about how important and how to be a great persuader. Hopefully, you can enjoy and can get the advantages of my review writing here. And now... let's move to the CHAPTER ONE below. 

CHAPTER ONE - HOW TO GET PEOPLE TO LIKE YOU (IN 90 SECONDS OR LESS)
Is it true when someone who we like want us to do what they want, we will easily to say "YES" to them? From the author extensive research, he has found that developing “likeability” is the first step in persuasion. It means if we can get the other person to like us, we’re in a great position to get
him/her to agree to your request. 
So, how can we develop our likeability? How can we make someone who barely knows us will buy our product or will deal with our request? Well, here are the tips how we can develop our likeability.
1 - “TWO BIRDS OF A FEATHER”
when we offering something or a product to our target person, make sure that we demonstrate the similarities. Try to find your target person's similarities with you. for the example, your target is an English enthusiast, you can claim that "Oh, Me too!", and it is a good chance for you to make your target fix with you. You can share anything same with them. When trying to persuade people, first create liking by demonstrating that you are similar the person you are trying to persuade. Researchers have discovered that people are more likely to help out a stranger when he is dressed similarly to them than when he isn’t. The similarities will not make the people who barely know us will dislike us if they are like us. 
2 – THE GEORGE CLOONEY/HALLE BERRY EFFECT
Would you be more willing to say yes to a request by George Clooney or Halle Berry than you would to an average-looking person? Did you ever see a salesperson is not cheerful? Of course not, we seldom saw that or maybe never. Why they must always talk, move to everywhere, and cannot just wait in a place until the customer come? Yes, because offering something to another need an attractive. The person with an attractive action will more easy to get the interest of everyone. Because they look smarter, kinder and more talented than the person with less attractive. It means that we need to pay attention to ourselves. we need to check later about our visual. Like dressing well, make sure you take care of yourself. Learn how to take care of your skin and your body so that you look the best that you possibly can.
3 – “MAY I COMPLIMENT THEE?”
Did you ever like someone? I believe everyone here ever feels that. My question is... when we like someone, did we tell the badness of he or she? No, sure we will tell about the goodness. And this case is same with how our way to persuade our target person. In fact, people who receive compliments develop positive feelings towards the person who gave the compliment. This was true even when the men receiving the compliments knew that that the person complimenting them wanted a favor from them. If you want to persuade someone, gain their liking by liking them first. Show your
liking for them by genuinely complimenting them.

CHAPTER EIGHT THE PETRIFIED FOREST

CHAPTER EIGHT THE PETRIFIED FOREST One of the most powerful persuasion techniques is social proof. Advertisers and marketers know the power of social proof, which is why they use it so often in their marketing materials. Social proof demonstrates to potential customers that a product is popular, causing the customers to think that the product is good to buy. 21 – THE SITCOM LAUGHTER TRACK Television studios realize the power of social proof, which is why a lot of TV sitcoms contain canned laughter. Research has found that people who view sitcoms that have laughter tracks find the sitcoms to be funnier than sitcoms that don’t. It can happen because the canned laughter serves as social proof, and when we hear people laughing, it causes us to laugh too. In another example of the power of social proof, researchers who joined a door-to-door charity campaign found that the longer the list of prior donors, the more likely it was that the person being solicited would donate as well....

Since the correlation between expertise and persuasion is clear, let’s have a look at how you can establish your credibility and expertise. 7 – “SEE MY DECORATED WALL?” I believe, everyone will be more believable and interesting to buy or know more about the product that is selling by the person who had so many achievements in her/his life. for the example, there are two books in the bookstore, the first book of education had written by a high school dropout students and the second is the book that written ...
