Publisher's summary

If, despite your best efforts, your product or service just doesn’t seem to sell, then it might not be the product that’s the problem, it could be you. It’s no secret that the best salespeople have secrets that the rest don’t know, and Persuasion: Psychology of Selling - Secret Techniques Only the World’s Top Sales People Know to Close the Deal Every Time is the audiobook you need to start putting these secrets to work for you.

The human brain is the most advanced computer ever created, able to process complex mental equations that would leave any man-made computer crying in a corner. Like any other computer, however, it runs on software (thoughts and emotions), and that software can be hacked to make it more agreeable to whatever it is that you are selling. This process is nothing complicated, and certainly nothing illegal. It is simple psychology and by learning the right tools to use and triggers to call upon you can increase your conversions dramatically without changing anything else about your product, your price, or your pitch.

From listening you will learn:

  • The reason why effective salespeople always offer their potential customers something up front
  • What BluBlocker sunglasses can teach any good salesperson today
  • The easiest way to use fear to your advantage to rack up the sales
  • The details of the inoculation effect and why you should care about it
  • Why sometimes the most surprising and effective thing you can tell potential customers is the truth
  • Simple and effective ways to generate customer recommendations from scratch
  • The best type of social proof to use for your products or services and how to get more of it
  • Reliable ways to become an authority in your chosen niche and the reasons why you’d want to
  • Top body language mistakes to avoid at all costs
  • And more

Awesome

It explains how easily we are conned into ignoring our first negative impressions and our “gut feelings” and trusting people who do not have our best interests at heart. It explains the thought process behind Copy Cat murders, suicides, and other violence. Police, Teachers, and everyone who has been “talked into” buying something or doing something they wouldn’t normally do, needs to listen this book.

Helpful in daily life.

Helpful in daily life. This book is for those, who want effective communication, having a clear understanding of human psychology. Great book. Talks about the application of persuasive techniques to real life. It gives you the fundamentals of persuasion in an easy way that could be used in everyday life and businesses as well.

This was a great book.

I was looking for a broad-based book on the art of influence in marketing, what I found was a both a sword and a shield to defend yourself from the unscrupulous marketer (manipulator), and to advance your own

Must read and listen

I recommend to purchase both options, the physical book and the audio one. This piece is like the encyclopaedia of selling. I don't think you're going to need anything else to become the best salesperson. The best part of the above though, is the fact that this book will also teach you how to live your life. Highly recommended.

Informative book.

I really enjoyed reading this book about persuasion techniques and how they are used in sales, marketing, and everyday life. This should be required reading for all high school and college students in order to better help them understand the psychology behind the use of influence

The book itself is great. 5 stars all of the way.

The book itself is great. 5 stars all of the way. My biggest problem is with the seller. I paid for a "new" book, and I received a used one. There's noticeable wear and tear, and it's pretty disappointing. The contents of the book is great though.

Easy to follow

I dont think you will see advertising or the media, politicians, car salesman or anything the same after listening this book. If you can use some of the facts to increase your influence on people in your life, you will probably make more money, make better deals, etc.

Quality content and narration!

I was looking for a broad-based book on the art of influence in marketing, what I found was a both a sword and a shield to defend yourself from the unscrupulous marketer (manipulator), and to advance your own (clearly more reasonable) position!
