It’s scary how one very, very tiny group of people who call themselves The Parents Television Council, largely determines what you see and don’t see on TV. This handful of activists who like to tell the government what “the people” (you and me) think is “decent” or “indecent,” and they call day and night when the gal in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is wearing something too revealing.
Of course, it’s nothing of the sort…it’s the fact that if that person was wearing it…the one who called…no one would watch!
And this group calls local TV stations and sends tons of e-mails creating the ILLUSION that viewers can’t stand such a thing.
The fact that a few hundred people who are loud and obnoxious control what I see on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show irritates me.
Why?
They didn’t ask for my opinion, which differs from theirs.
So how does this group, who supposedly represents MILLIONS of Americans, yet only gets about 500 people per day to their website ….how is it that they are so effective when they don’t remotely express what Americans really think?
How Opinions of Others Influences
You are totally unaware of how the opinions of other people who are AROUND YOU are influencing your decisions every day.
Scary new research reveals that the effects of people who are FAMILIAR to us is frighteningly POWERFUL.
Who you hang out with, and around….changes your life….
Whether people are making financial decisions in the stock market or worrying about terrorism, they are likely to be influenced by what others think. And, according to a new study in this month’s Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, published by the APA…
…repeated exposure to one person’s viewpoint can have almost as much influence as exposure to shared opinions from multiple people.
KEYPOINT: This finding shows that hearing an opinion multiple times increases the recipient’s sense of familiarity and in some cases gives a listener a false sense that an opinion is more widespread then it actually is.
How Did it Work?
In a series of six experiments that included 1044 students, from the University of Michigan, Princeton University, Rutgers University, University of Michigan — Dearborn, University of Toledo and Harvard University, researchers sought to understand individuals’ accuracy in identifying group norms and opinions. The experiments included dividing students into three groups, (three person control group, single opinion group and repeated opinions group).
Participants in the three person control group read three opinion statements each made by a different group member. The participants in the repeated opinion group read the same three statements but they were all attributed to one group member. Those in the single opinion control group read one opinion statement from one group member.
If I’ve Said it Once, I’ve Said it a Thousand Times…
The studies found that an opinion is more likely to be assumed to be the majority opinion when multiple group members express their opinion. However, the study also showed that hearing one person express the same opinion multiple times had nearly the same effect on listener’s perception of the opinion being popular as hearing multiple people state his/her opinion.
Researchers examined the underlying processes that take place when individuals estimate the shared attitude of a group of people and how that estimation of collective opinion can be influenced by repetition from a single source. Since gauging public opinion is such an essential component in guiding our social interactions, this research has implications in almost every facet of modern day life.
How Do People Gauge Popular Opinion
“This study conveys an important message about how people construct estimates of group opinion based on subjective experiences of familiarity,” states lead author Kimberlee Weaver, (Ph.D), of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. “The repetition effect observed in this research can help us to understand how our own impressions are influenced by what we perceive to be the reality of others.
For example, a congressman may get multiple phone calls from a small number of constituents requesting a certain policy be implemented or changed, and from those requests must decide how voters in their state feel about the issue.
This study sheds light on the cognitive processes that take place that may influence such a decision.

I used to lose a great deal of customers ‘on the fence’. I thought it was just part of the deal, you get some, you lose most. I still make a great living getting ‘some’.

Principles of “Mind Reading” Revealed
In 1999 one of the world’s finest mentalists (someone who “reads minds” for entertainment without lying to you…it’s magic…) agreed to show me how to calibrate to almost anyone’s thought processes with a quick look at the person and the expression on their face. It took me all of a couple of hours to “get it.” All he asked in return was to tap my mind on the latest in persuasion. It was a match made in heaven.
The principles of mind reading are wrapped up in what Fortune 500 companies call psychographics. In a nutshell, you can tell a LOT about a person by asking three questions and looking at how they dress and keep themselves. No. Not a lot….everything that matters.
Mark told me that his accuracy was unparalleled and after I successfully did what he did with people, I never doubted him again.
I took the three questions, the appearance pieces and assembled the information into the coolest psychographic tool anyone could ask for.
These two (of 12) CD’s alone are worth 10 times the price of the Advance Course and that is understating the fact dramatically.
You will blow people’s minds (and your own) by knowing what people think before THEY are consciously aware of it themselves.
This is one of the big reasons people find the advanced course their “favorite” of the Science of Influence sets.

In order to complete the second series (13-24) in the Science of Influence Home Based Program, I’ve decided to give you my secret compendium of all the tactics of persuasion.
A tactic is a very specific maneuver or plan for attaining a very specific goal. A number of tactics usually combine to form a strategy and a number of strategies…spell success. The verbal tactic is the atom. It is the smallest component in verbal persuasion.
The greatest aspect of having all 59 tactics at your finger tips is that you can determine the best tactic for each and every situation that you are in where you need compliance. (That means, “Yes!”)
So many people use the same tactics over and over and begin to sound like a machine. This is true in international negotiation, speeches, sales presentations, or even in getting the date. The person who succeeds and hears “yes” is the person who has the widest knowledge of tactics and the ability to apply them instantly.
