Maximize Your Influence

“Breaking the mirror” is a term used to describe how lawyers intentionally disrupt the psychological connection, or rapport, with a witness on the stand. That disconnect is also called antipathy.  During questioning, attorneys may initially mirror the witness’s tone, energy, rate, and body language to connect and build trust but then strategically break that alignment to create discomfort.  This shift is particularly effective in creating pressure and undermining a witness’s confidence.

Harvard Psychologist Ellen Langer Shows How Mental Attitude Can Potentially Reverse the Effects of Aging

Want to know when, where, and how to use antipathy or unrapport?  I know that is not a word, but it fits the topic.  Join me for this week’s podcast on Destroy Rapport, Break The Mirror, And Increase Influence.  Discover ways to use this disconnect to influence those who are demanding, unwilling to cooperate, and with dishonest people.

Obligation has been used as a persuasive technique since the beginning of time. We see companies offering free downloads, free estimates, or gifts in the hope of opening the door to persuasion.  The Law of Obligation, also known as pre-giving or reciprocity, states that when others do something for us, we feel a strong need, or urge, to return the favor.

Returning the favor rids us of the obligation created by the first good deed. The adage "one good turn deserves another" is a part of social conditioning in every culture. And, even beyond that, the maxim serves as an ethical code that does not necessarily need to be taught, but is understood.

I was reading this great article in Harvard Business Review, which focuses on how we CAN’T recognize our weaknesses.  The other challenge is that most people feel responsible for their successes (internal), and external factors are the cause of their failures.

Leaders and managers today must be more aware of others’ needs due to the challenges of a global pandemic, a fragile economy, and social unrest.  Many workplace challenges stem not from bad intentions but from leaders' lack of awareness of how their actions affect others.  Self-awareness in leadership/management is crucial.

The Law of Dissonance proves that people will naturally act in a manner that is consistent with their cognitions. What is a cognition?  Our cognition is a mental process that uses thoughts, beliefs, experiences, and past perceptions.

That means when people behave in a manner that is inconsistent with these cognitions (beliefs, thoughts or values), they find themselves in a state of discomfort. In this uncomfortable state, they will be motivated to adjust their behaviors or beliefs to regain mental and emotional balance. When our beliefs, attitudes, and actions mesh, we feel congruent.

This allows us to live with our thoughts, manage our day-to-day activities, and allows us to sleep at night.  Have you ever proved someone they were wrong?  Have you ever backed them into a corner? What happened?  You made the perfect case, but you never heard from them again.

There is a big difference between a genuine question of concern and an “I’m done with you” objection. Is it a sign of interest or resistance? That is the key question. When your prospect presents every objection in the book, such outright resistance should be a red flag to you.

In other words, you are probably going down the wrong road by not properly reading your prospect. What this person is really saying is: “Go away. I have heard enough. I don’t see where or how this can help me.”  Great persuaders will always have fewer objections to handle than old-style persuaders will.

Using meteoropathy (weather sensitivity) as a sales tool involves understanding and leveraging the impact of weather on individuals' moods, behaviors, and purchasing decisions.   

Moods affect our thinking, judgment, and willingness to say yes. When the person you are trying to persuade is in a good mood, they are more likely to accept your offer. The opposite is also true. If they're not in a good mood, chances are much higher they won't bite. This is a huge advantage to you when it comes to persuasion.
