At ListVerse, Gregory Myers has kindly put together a list of 10 psychology tricks you can use to influence people to benefit you. Though, he makes it clear that these do NOT include unethical or harmful tactics.
The list is as follows:
- Ask for favours (Benjamin Franklin effect).
- Aim high - Ask for more than you need.
- Use the person's name.
- Flattery will get you everywhere.
- Mirror their behaviour.
- Ask for favours when someone is tired.
- Start with a request they can't refuse.
- Keep quiet - Don't correct people.
- Paraphrase and repeat back what they said.
- Nod a lot when leading up to asking for a favour.
