Win Them Over!


In order to REALLY get someone on your side – you first need to win them over!


 

Here's some expert advice on how to do just that:



Don’t be needy. People smell a sense of urgency and might be reluctant to help. Take a cool and blasé approach.

Tell the person what they have to lose – it’s more effective. That’s why you hear “Don’t miss it!” in so many ads.
Throw a curveball. If someone is not responding – change the subject to something they’ll like for about ten minutes – then try again.

Start with THEIR point of view. For example – “I know YOU feel this way” – then work in your opposing view.
