Will Your Client Demand to Pay Full Price Over and Over Again?

You can make it happen every day! Part 2


First, the person obviously either doesn't care about $500 of his money...or $500 of his company's money.
Why?

Spending corporate or government dollars is actually necessary for a department to receive the same funding next year from the absolutely brain-dead budget people that create departmental funding each year. Literally: Whatever they got last year, they will get this year. BUT they ONLY get the money IF it is spent the prior year!

What companies? What governments?

About 85% of all corporations with more than 50 employees and 99.7% of all city, county, state and federal governmental bodies in the United States.

Those of you who run your own business must have your jaw on the table!

(This is one reason companies and governments are dying. It is absolutely necessary to literally throw money away, especially at the end of the fiscal year, in order to "get budget" for next year.)

The great scam works like this. Divisions and departments in big companies and government must spend their budget. They fought tooth and nail to get money for x, y and z in their budget. Sometimes they could get 100,000 for furniture but only 2,000 for increases in salary. Welcome to government and big business.

Now, the deal is that at the planning meetings for the next fiscal year, budgets aren't questioned they are simply met, unless the division/department is asking for MORE.

A lot of times a department will have money to hire a speaker but nothing for educational materials or vice versa.

Now, part of being creative is figuring out HOW to FRAME what YOU DO into the various line items in the budgets.

I know this all sounds ridiculous but it's how the world works.

Who would want to fill out a five minute form when if they did, it would cause them to lose their budgeting for next year? No one. That's why money gets spent wisely or just blown on everything from parties to consultants, dinners to entertainers, furniture to flowers.

Second, the person has a "Convenience" meta-program instead of a "Cost" meta-program. This severe meta-program aberration is seen only in about 1% of people. $500 for 5 minutes of work is not likely to go untouched by the vast majority.

From a salesperson's perspective, it reminds me what Dottie Walters said to me one day: "Just ask honey."

You never know when they have to blow their money to have their coffers filled up...and you aren't taking advantage. They are desperate to spend it! They MUST give their business to SOMEONE.

Now, from the strict perspective of influence, realize that the above is ONLY ONE common cultural scenario that causes a "Cost/Convenience" metaprogram.

Many people simply will do ANYTHING for convenience irrespective of cost.

Think about it....next time...you wonder if you should ASK for the order or their business.

There is SO much money out there. So many people waiting to say "YES!" All one has to do is ask!

"The Power of persuasion transforms from art to science."
Kevin Hogan, Psy.D.



This is the place for you to begin. BUT, this is by no means a basic course in influence. Including research completed in 2003, this 13-hour program has all the latest advanced strategies and sequencing information for influencing others. It's unlikely you have heard or read any more than perhaps 15% of the material covered in this home study program and yet without this material it's almost impossible to predictably influence others.

The ability to influence, the psychology of persuasion, the science and practice of persuading others to your way of thinking is the single most important factor in success; in business, management, in a professional practice, in maintaining intimate relationships and obviously, in selling. Every useful communication involves persuasion. You want to become an expert in social influence. You DO want to win friends and influence people. You want your message to be accepted and acted upon. Period. Without effective persuasion techniques and finely honed influential skills can any of this be possible.

The Science of Influence is the master's home study course. What makes the Science of Influence different from every other program about persuasion is that this material is fresh, potent, tested, and has nearly all of what you will discover is new!
