Finally, I broke it down into five important aspects:
Five fundamentals to influence anyone:
Put yourself in their perspective:
Simply, if you want to catch fish then you’ll take earthworm as a bait onto the fishing rod, rather than a buttered popcorn. Buttered popcorn is delicious, but for us not for the fish. Influencing someone is not about what you want, It’s all about seeing through their eyes, seeing what they want.
Don’t criticize, condemn or complain:
No one likes being criticized for things they have already done. You should approach the person in a way that, “mistakes can be done by anyone, don’t regret over your past and learn from your mistakes” it will frame a good image of you in front of other people.
Appreciate others genuinely:
Everyone wants to be appreciated, So appreciate others even for Lil’ things. Everyone has the desire to be appreciated, this desire in students bring motivation to achieve 1st rank in the exam, so his/her parents would appreciate, this desire brings motivation in alpinist to achieve great heights. These influencing technique will help you a lot to make great bonds with anyone.
Building RAPPORT:
Developing rapport means that you get the attention of the person whom you want to influence, and you build trust within them. Try to understand their frame of mind. Are they suspicious? Are they upset, sad, or worried? What their emotional state is.
Until you can really get into their shoes, you cannot build a strong rapport and your efforts to influence them will fail. Your goal cannot be about you, right! it must focus on the target. my teacher once told me to “kill them with kindness.” Being kind to people is also a quick way to build rapport.
BECOME GENUINELY INTERESTED IN OTHERS:
Ask them about their profession, what they’ve accomplished, what they aspire to, what they’ve endured. Understand that people often live as though we are the star of our own life movie and it is the only movie they have.
