How To Shape Other People’s Decisions, Behavior, And Attitudes For Your Benefit

There are certain types of communication – both covert and overt – that dramatically affect how people feel about you, your ideas, your products… or just anything in general.

A lot of wealth and power has been created using these techniques over the course of human history. Financial empires have been built… as well as entire countries… not to mention millions of savvy individuals who use these techniques today to enjoy a more than comfortable lifestyle.

That should make you excited. Because… you’re about to discover a lot about these types of communication.

And when you’re done with this… you will know how to use them for your own personal gain… to generate wealth, comfortable living, and completely turn your life around.

Behind The Scenes…

What’s interesting, these things happen automatically and nobody is aware of them. Which is kind of scary. But once you become aware of them…

… You can not only use them for your benefit, but also avoid having them being used on you.

Who is using techniques like this on you? You’ll be surprised… but more or less everyone you ever meet, interact with, or hear on the news, or read somewhere… everyone. Politicians, sales people, your friends, your family and your children, everyone.

Most people do so unconsciously. As a result, they maybe utilize 1% of the power of these techniques. However even being aware of them can increase your effectiveness close to 100%. Fascinating.

Not Your Grandma’s NLP…
Or Lame Sales Persuasion Stuff

Not to knock NLP or sales persuasion… these things have their place. But this goes a lot deeper than that.

This is about understanding human nature, understanding the flaws in the brain of the average individual, the flaws of humanity at large… and then exploiting these flaws.

You can exploit them for good, to help somebody alter their behavior in a way that produces positive change… or you can of course exploit them for bad and take advantage of people.

What you actually do with this is beside the point here. What you use them for doesn’t make these techniques good or bad, it’s just the power that these things yield.

How Much Power?

Now let’s leave the politicians and people like that alone for a second.

Is it possible to achieve real, measurable profits with this stuff? Is it possible to use this mind-bending approach to make money… as a marketer online?

What would be your guess?

Of course! Check this out…

Meet Jason Fladlien…

Jason has mastered these techniques. He has spent the time and the effort to understand how to communicate not in just the obvious ways… but how to really “get through” to people and connect with them on a deeper level.

He has done it in one of the toughest environments possible – online. Why is it tough? Because you can’t see the other person. You have to infer a lot from what they’re saying to get what they really mean.

Here’s what Jason has done thanks to these techniques…

  • Charged $50,000 to write webinar presentations for clients who were brand new to this market… and over night he turned those people into super stars
  • Set a record for the most successful affiliate promotion in the history of internet marketing – in a seven day period he brought in $5,200,000 in sales of which 50% came back to him
  • To date, his company Rapid Crush, Inc. has generated well over $32 million dollars online

Will YOU be able to do something like that? I can’t guarantee that. I can guarantee that you’re NOT going to be able to make millions instantly. However you’re going to dramatically shortcut the journey of the mastery of persuasion.

Where Do You Begin?

So how do you actually begin implementing these techniques in your day-to-day business and life? Here’s the first step.

Every single one of us has almost endless models of reality. A model of reality, simply put, is the way we perceive something… and then “translate” the meaning of it for ourselves.

For example, a model of reality is the way we think about whether we can afford a new car. We perceive that we have a certain amount of finances and that a car would add a certain amount of value to our lives. We have many models like these working together (and against each other) at the same time.

If you really want to be a change agent… and I use those exact words very deliberately… you must be able to understand and manipulate at least one of the other individual’s models of reality.

Elicitation

In order to do that, you must first elicit the model of reality, bring it out in the open. Here’s why. An individual will almost never upfront admit what their model of reality is. People are just not wired that way. Which is why you you need to be clever about it.

… If you have the luxury of communicating one to one and can see the other person, what you need to look for are the obvious signs that are physiologically hard to hide.

You’ll spot useful signs in their body language… word choice… tonality of their voice… the rhythm of their speech… and so on.

However, here’s where you have to be careful because it’s too easy to read too much into one single thing. Like if someone is fidgeting all the time, it might mean they’re nervous… or it just might mean that their chair is really uncomfortable.

What if you can’t see or hear them?

There is still a lot to observe. Back to the webinar example – I can’t see each individual on a webinar call, nor interact with any one person specifically. On top of that, they are muted the whole time, so I can’t hear them. Here is what I can see though: the amount of interaction.

The amount of interaction in the webinar setting would be something like… Are they typing a lot or a little? What’s the frequency of their interaction? What’s the length of their submissions? And so forth.

The bottom line is if you want this stuff to work, you have to be very observant. Now, I’m going to show you where to get all the details you need for this in a moment, but for now, let’s discuss the next step.

What They Say VS What They Mean

So this is not rocket science (but it can be when you dig deeper…) – you probably already know that what people say… is not necessarily what they mean.

How do you exploit that incongruence?

For example if you have someone who wants to lose weight but claims that they don’t have the time… yet they seem to find all the time in the world for their favorite hobby?

It would be nice to be able to just point that out to them and switch their behavior… but that doesn’t work that way. Here’s what works though.

The simplest way I know how to do so is to agree and amplify! Instead of challenging their incongruence, we accept it. Then we build upon it.

Here’s an example.

“Oh, why didn’t you tell me lack of time was what was holding you back! That’s freaking awesome, because I just learned the other week about this new thing where the less time you have, the more weight you lose. In fact, can you do me a favor, and find a way to reduce the free time you currently have so we can get you results even faster?”

We took what they felt to be their biggest problem, and turned it into the biggest benefit – and then asked them to do more of the thing that they’re already doing.

Take Action! … Or NOT.

The example above is a really simple one. What I have prepared for you is a lot more… for example, how to exploit the “take action” reality model present in the self-help and make money online space… and much more. I’m going to tell you more on that in a second.

Right now though we have to discuss something more important, and that is…

You have to realize how little logic attributes to influencing your outcome.

 

Obviously, you should – and I will show you how really soon – use logic to influence your own decisions… and to think more rationally.

However, it’s a fool’s errand to try to appeal to your audience through reason and logic and think that, on its own, it will accomplish much. That’s probably good, because if it did you’d be selling to robots, not to people.

What do you do instead? You use the techniques we’re discussing here. You alter their models of reality, exploit incongruences… and you open loops.

Open Loops

Now, you might’ve heard about opening and closing loops in salesmanship, storytelling and so on. It’s when you pose a question, bring up an idea, or something similar, and leave it without resolution. However… that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

There’s a really really smart way to use open loops and that is when you’re pre-handling their objections.

What’s pre-handling? In a nutshell that means you bring up the objection, completely out in the open, before your prospect even has time to think about it. Once you do that, you control the narrative about how the objection is going to be handled. How much of this should you do and what’s the big deal anyway? Consider this…

Opening a loop makes them more likely to focus and pay attention to the presentation because they now have a target – they have something to look at and seek out. In a typical presentation in the first 10 to 15 minutes I’ll set 20 or so open loops.

Biases?

Now this is where the fun really starts.

There’s a set of automatic responses embedded in our brains to almost any stimuli you can imagine. And some of these responses are more suited for selling and changing behavior than others.

For example, when you see a doctor, you automatically assume authority. The problem is that outside his particular, very narrow field, he might not be that knowledgeable! Same goes for celebrities. Just because someone is a good actor, doesn’t make them an authority on global warming.

From an influence stand point, authority is key. People by and large are more likely to take medical advice from a celebrity than a doctor. And celebrity doctors are the ultimate!

So how do you use this bias for selling and changing behavior? You assume the position of authority by using shortcuts that refer to the built-in authority of figures like doctors.

I’m going to show you where you can get an analysis of a ton of fallacies and biases – like conflict inflation fallacy, anecdotal fallacy, full moon fallacy, confirmation bias and much more – as they relate to sales in just a moment.

Here’s The Thing…

You’ve probably noticed that I’ve given you a lot of valuable information right on this page… completely free of charge.

You’ve also probably noticed that this is a very deep and intricate subject. And while you WILL get results just by knowing about this stuff… you will have to dig a little bit deeper than this single page.

And I have just the perfect thing for you when you’re ready to do that.

Introducing…

THOUGHT
VOODOO

What I have for you here is pretty amazing. I like to call it “persuader’s shortcuts to human brain”.

It’s created by Jason Fladlien and it contains his go-to shortcuts that lets him shape other people’s decisions, behavior, and attitudes… and make millions of dollars because he’s able to connect better and help more.

You see, the thing is that the subject of models of realities, biases, fallacies, self-talk… is pretty complex. And to master it properly requires years of study. Good news is that’s mostly because if you do that, you’re going to have to master a lot of extra stuff you don’t need as someone who wants to make money.

Which is why in this course you’re only going to find things that matter specifically to you as a persuader… and as a person who would maybe like to protect themselves from having these tricks used on you.

You’ve seen a lot already…

All the quotes above are straight from inside the Thought Voodoo course. There’s much more valuable stuff inside that I wasn’t able to share publicly… because it just wouldn’t make sense unless you go through the entire PDF.

… And you’ll agree that there’s a lot of value to you already.

Which is why all I’m going to do right now is give you a quick overview of what you’re about to discover inside… and then give you a buy button. Simple and easy.

Here’s what you can look forward to…

  • Part #1: How to elicit and exploit models of reality – shifting and changing and even destroying models of reality is one of the easiest ways to set yourself up for a successful interaction… and the first part of the course shows you step by step how to do that.
  • Part #2: Mind Reading – where to get insights into customers’ minds that let you position yourself head and shoulders above your competition… and make a lot of sales… (this goes WAY beyond simple internet research – make sure you study closely!)
  • Part #3: How to become insanely good at pitching… by using a trick that almost requires you to have no natural talent!
  • Part #4: Engineering paradigm shifts – how to cleverly change people’s beliefs about something to nudge them towards doing something that fits your agenda…
  • Part #5: Logical fallacies for fun and profits – here, you’re going to discover how to leverage the built-in fallacies and biases of the human brain as a world-class persuader. This is pretty advanced stuff… yet you’ll be able to use a bunch of handy shortcuts for quick results!
  • Part #6: Feedback Loops – the last part of the course where you’ll discover how to exploit both positive and negative feedback loops and internal dialogues to engineer the necessary amount of agreement before asking for a sale.
