How can I make some more money?
That's all you're thinking about.
Unless you can influence people, you're not going to make lots of money.
There is a two-step formula that is really the secret to unlocking the art of persuasion.
It's really magic words, if you will, that if you use them properly, will get you what you want in life.
I've used these two techniques to generate billions of dollars in business.
The art of persuasion is not trying to convince somebody.
It's not trying to get them to or lead them down a road where they buy into what your idea is.
That's the myth.
We're not trying to lead somebody down a road to agree to a certain idea.
I'm not trying to get you to think a certain way or convince you or even help you to convince yourself to my way of thinking.
That's what most people think is persuasion.
That is not what wealthy people do.
When I was in the Brotherhood, I couldn't talk.
I was tongue-tied, I stuttered, I couldn't communicate with other people, I didn't want
to be around other people, I was shy, I was fearful of rejection, I was fearful of criticism,
I had a poor self-image, so I couldn't communicate at all.
Today people call me the master communicator and a very effective communicator.
I was taught how to improve my communication ability.
And the first thing was not words to use.
The first thing I was taught is the intention behind the communication.
And real true communication is not mean.
trying to tell you something, which is what everyone wants to do. That's not the art of
communication. That's not the art of persuasion. That's not the art of developing
affinity with a person or getting people to like you or to win friends and have
influence over other people. Talking is not the way to do that. It's actually
listening openly having you have two ears in one mouth and you have to use
them proportionally. You have to listen more than you talk. When the other person is
talking, most people aren't listening. And it happens all the time. I'll say something and I can
see the other person is not listening. They're just waiting for me to finish so they can start talking.
They didn't hear what I said. They're not developing affinity. And that's what most people do. They don't
listen to what the other person is saying, nor do they then extract more or try to extract more.
So there are a few words you could use. But the first thing before you use words is a person has to
understand the intention. I am truly genuinely interested in what you have to say. So the first thing a person
has to grasp that I was taught is when you're with another person, be genuinely interested in what
they are saying. Active listening is the key. You have to pay attention to what they're saying.
and then follow up, not with saying something, but by asking them a question to elicit more information.
People need to know that they have been heard.
So if you want to be an effective communicator, it's not about speaking.
It's not about talking.
It's about listening.
What were you taught in the Brotherhood about the art or science of persuasion and influence as it relates to business success?
In the Brotherhood, I was taught the art of persuasion or the art of how to win friends,
the art of how to influence other people, the art of communication, the art of being heard.
And that art we think about as speaking in words.
But there are several key elements of it, and all of the ingredients have to be there in order for it to work.
And so the first key element is what you don't hear.
It's what you're thinking, it's what you're feeling before you get into this communication cycle with somebody or trying to influence or persuade them or sell them or communicate with them or get them to buy into your ideas.
And that first intention is that you genuinely, honestly care about them and what they think.
Most people do not care what the other person thinks.
All they care about is what they think and what they know and what they want to.
to say. They do not care what you're saying. They don't care what you think, what you feel, what you
believe. They don't care. So unless you genuinely care about that other person, genuine concern for
them and genuine interest in them, nothing works. So that's step one. Then step two,
now we get into the technical part. And the technical part is there are six honest serving men.
and use them to you die. They are what, when, where, who, how, and why. So that means you ask
questions. And if you notice, the way you ask questions effectively, what successful people do is they
ask questions to get specifics. What exactly happened? What? When did it happen? Specifically, was it last
week? What day was it? What time did it happen? You try to get specifics. This helps the person actually
focus their memory and helps clarify their own thinking.
They love this.
A person then starts to develop affinity with you
because you are showing genuine concern and interest in them
by asking very specific questions.
What, when, where did it happen?
Asking specific questions and giving the person
the ability to look in their memory
and actually zone in on where.
What when, where?
Who was involved?
Who?
Now they're getting pictures in their mind of the people involved.
What when, where?
who, how did it happen? Now that's more of an opinion a little bit and then say, why did it happen?
Now that's purely opinion. Now you're eliciting from the person his mind's conclusion as to why
it occurred. You're getting data. You're eliciting data from the other person. Before you even speak,
use those six honest serving men and use them until you die. They are what and where, who, how, and why.
And then there's a couple phrases that are very powerful that create that affinity and help you influence the person, help you win them as a friend, help you get what you want.
And that is, why is that?
Or why is that?
Another one is, in addition to that, what else is there?
Or tell me more.
I want to hear more.
If you say to somebody, this is fascinating, I want to hear more.
they light up like a Christmas tree.
They instantly like you more.
You've just won them as a friend and your ability to then influence them later by saying,
you know, we should maybe do something together or maybe we should, what do you think about
this?
They're more open.
They're completely open to your suggestion at that point or your idea.
So now you have increased your ability to persuade them or give them an option or lead them to
something that you would like them to agree with. This is, it's not a trick. It's a process that all these
elements are linked together. When I was in the Brotherhood, this is what I was taught. I was trained in it
over and over again. And this is one of the reasons why not being able to speak. I was given a book by
Joe Gerard called How to Sell Anything to Anyone. He was a car salesman. And my uncle, who is my
mentor in the Brotherhood, my teacher, my trainer, my coach, my master, I was the apprentice,
he said, read this book, you should get into the car business. I'm like, I can't talk to anybody.
I'm not a salesman. I can't sell. He says, no, but you need to be able to learn and practice
the art of communication and persuasion so you can influence other people and this is going to help you.
I was petrified, absolutely petrified because I was so scared of rejection, so scared of criticism,
I was so scared of talking to people. I wasn't a salesman. I couldn't
communicate. I stuttered terribly. I was tongue tied. I didn't have a good vocabulary. I couldn't
string a sentence together. But there was an ad in the paper that Sunday and it said, experienced
salesman only need apply, car salesman job at Imphebity, Massachusetts at Peterson-Lincoln Mercury.
So I went to the dealership, fill out the little application. The sales manager sat me down.
He looked at the application, which was pretty much blank, exactly name and address. And he said,
where have you sold cars before? I said, well, I never sold a car before. He said, the ad said
experienced only need apply. I said, yeah, I know, but I thought if the guy was experienced and he was
so good, what would he be doing here looking for a job? And the manager said, well, maybe he had
problems at the other dealership. I go, do you want somebody with problems? I go, I'm a blank slate.
I can start today. I'm in a suit and tie. I will work on straight commission. If I sell a car,
I get paid. If I don't, I don't get paid. You can teach me exactly how you want me to sell.
I'm ready to go. And he said, son of a gun, you're hired. And that's when I got hired.
That itself, that interview was a sales presentation. And if you notice, I asked the question.
I said, hey, if a guy was experienced and he was so good, what would he be doing here looking for a job?
I threw it right back to him and asked the question. I didn't try to convince him. I let him convince himself.
Do you want somebody with problems?
So I asked two questions.
I didn't sell myself.
I just threw it back at him.
And he didn't know what to say.
It is the only step-by-step, totally complete manifesting or prosperity or success system in existence.
My income has doubled.
I'm getting close to tripling.
That's the reason why people who read this and apply it are seeing such spectacular results.
I'm making more money than I've ever had ever.
How much more money I'm earning and the woman that I have in my life is just miraculous.
These techniques work.
They are powerful, practical, scientifically based, and have passed the test of time.
If you want things in your life to change, you're going to have to change things through your life.
After getting your wishes or command, I went to 5K on my bank account to $8 million in one and a half years.
Read it and watch what happens.
You got the job.
You're now a young car salesman.
What did you learn about the art of persuasion and what actually works?
So in the automobile business, the first thing I did was use another technique.
And that technique is watching successful cycles of action.
So what I did when I got hired is I looked at the leaderboard, the top salesman, and I found
the top three salesmen and I followed them around and watched them.
I learned by observation.
I watched how they greeted somebody.
I watched how they talked to people.
I watched how they asked questions.
I watched how they were an active listener who was very interested in the person.
They were interested in where the person lived, what they did for work, if they had a family,
how they used the car, what type of cars they purchased in the past, what they liked about
the car, what they didn't like about the car, what their financial situation was, what their budget was.
They were incredibly interested.
If you show genuine concern and interest for somebody and listen actively and actually repeat
back what the person said or respond to some of the things they said and ask for more questions,
that person then develops affinity.
So I watched first.
Then I did it and I got results.
I made mistakes.
I looked back at a particular engagement where I didn't make a sale, what did I do wrong,
what could I have done better, and I worked on that.
I became the manager, the sales manager and the sales trainer.
And we had a young salesman named Larry.
He was struggling.
He had gone through all the basic training.
He had gone through how to have the proper intention, how to care for the customer, how to
really want the best for the customer, how to find what the customer needed and help satisfy
that need, how to solve that customer's problem.
It was really about the customer first.
That was all the basic training.
But he wasn't getting the words right.
So I watched him and he was very shy.
he couldn't speak very well.
He wasn't a salesman.
So I said, Larry, all you have to do, and this I was talking to this one particular guy,
I said, is anytime somebody says something, just say, why is that?
And listen actively.
So he went out to the customer, and the customer says, I'm looking for a four-door car.
And Larry said, a four-door, why's that?
He says, well, you know, we have kids now.
They're grown, they need more room, so four-doors is going to be better.
So we're looking for a new car.
A new car.
Why is that?
Well, we have this other car.
And so the person virtually sold himself.
And as this was going on, I saw Larry turn to me with this big little smile, this grinch.
We call him the Grinch.
This little grinchy smile going, it's working.
So Larry felt very comfortable.
His self-confidence went up.
His self-esteem went up.
The customer developed great affinity with Larry because Larry wasn't trying to sell him.
Larry showed that he was very interested and he started asking questions.
And then Larry got really good.
He changed from why's that and he goes, tell me more about that.
He actually threw another question out.
But he was gathering information and virtually let the person sell himself.
Larry won him as a friend and was able to influence them.
And because he developed that affinity by asking questions, that's when Larry said, I think
I have a car that you'll like.
The person said, oh, show me.
And now the person could be influenced by Larry's suggestion.
So in order to persuade somebody or have you have the power to influence someone, you have to develop that affinity first.
And you have to do the first two steps, the intention first and ask lots of questions second.
That's an art.
That only comes through practice.
You use the six on a serving man, what when and where, who, how, and why.
Say, why is that?
Tell me more.
In addition to that, what else is there.
Sure, there's some phrases.
There's some magic, powerful phrases that you can.
learn, that's more of the art form.
But unless you have the intention first, being genuinely interested in the person, the art
is not going to work very effectively.
Combine the two and you're going to be the best communicator in the world, people are going
to love you and you're going to be able to influence other people in ways you can't even
imagine right now.
You've trained countless people all over the world on financial success.
Any stories about people you've trained in the secrets of persuasion and influence?
I had a friend who was a speaker and also somebody who wanted to sell on television.
And he was struggling.
So he said to me, Kevin, you know, you've done billions of dollars in sales on TV or this master communicator.
I need to know the secrets of how to sell and how to communicate effectively and get people to buy into my ideas.
Can you teach me and train me?
I said, sure.
Well, he already had a fixed idea of what that was.
I brought him to Ohio, California.
I said, come in for three days and I'll teach you.
We thought I was going to be teaching him and training him for three days.
He wasn't ready to hear what I had to say.
So I had to break him down.
I took him for a hike.
I took him for a ride in my defender in my 1944 Willie's Jeep from the Second World War.
And I'm tooling around and we're going to get something to eat and we're going shopping
downtown and we're watching a movie and he's like, when are you going to start training me?
Oh yeah, we got plenty of time.
Well, after the third day, he's ready to go.
home and we haven't done any training and we're in the pool he finally gives up he
finally surrendered he was finally ready to hear what I had to say so as we're
swimming in the pool and he's leaving in like two hours and I said you're ready
for the training he says really you're gonna train me yeah I'm gonna tell you
the secret the secret is have a genuine interest in what the other person
wants that's the problem you want
a sell. Your only thought is, how do I sell? How do I sell? How do I make the sale? How do I get
this guy to buy? How can I make some more money? That's all you're thinking about. You have to forget
that. You have to think about what's best for this person. How can I help this person? The emphasis
has to be on the other person, not yourself. If you change that intention, then everything will
fall into place virtually magically. And even if you say,
all the wrong words, it'll still work.
Because your intention is coming from the heart
and from a place of genuine interest in the other person.
That's the magic.
That's the secret sauce in terms of communication
and getting people to like you.
People don't care how much you know
until they first know how much you care.
And there's another great phrase by the great Zig Ziglin.
He says, you can always sell John Jones
what John Jones buys if you see John Jones
through John Jones eyes.
It was just an awakening.
My income has doubled.
I'm getting close to tripling.
You can build an amazing, amazing life,
although just your wishes your command.
How much more money I'm earning
and the woman that I have in my life is just miraculous.
The wishes your command gave me the recipe
to manifest the job that I wanted.
It really just gives you the recipe.
After I finished it, my life changed.
My income double.
I make a lot of my money.
It was like magic.
I'm making more money than I've ever had ever.
Enlightening.
Empowering.
Powerful, but simple.
Inspiring.
Activating.
After getting your wishes or command,
I went from 5K on my bank account to $8 million in one and a half years.
