ATTENTION: Discover The Tactics & Techniques of Persuasion

Imagine How Powerful You Would Be if You Actually Knew All the Persuasion Tactics in Existence

  • What would you do?
  • How would you influence others?
  • What would you want?

Persuasion tactics are very specific pieces of the persuasion pie. There are 59 tactics that can be utilized in the persuasion process and they are ALL detailed here for you.

No one on the planet has ever released a program containing every tactic of influence and persuasion. They are here for the first time.

You Will:

  • Conquer Your Market
  • Motivate Your Clients
  • Profit in Surprising Ways From Your New Knowledge

This program breaks new ground in persuasion.

100% Legal!

  • Eliminate the “call back for approval.”
  • Eliminate “buyers remorse.”
  • Eliminate, “I’ll think about it.”
  • Eliminate your competition.

Whether you have the Science of Influence Master’s Course (v.1-12) or not, you MUST get the ADVANCED Master’s Course (Part II) now. This 14-hour course on CD comes with an oversized manual that makes learning and mastering the tactics and techniques of persuasion remarkably simple.

“…your courses are the reason that I made $32,000 last week!”

“I bought your Covert Hypnosis and Science of Influence and I thought I owed it to you to tell you that your courses are the reason that I made $32,000 last week! 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’. I believe your courses enabled me to get most of the ones that are ‘on the fence’ while losing only some of them. Thanks!” Mark Deaton, AGSI, Twin Falls, ID

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.

The information here will either help you or your competitor plant the flag atop your market.

Let it be you!

** Secret 1 : In EVERY presentation you make your client wants to say “yes”, at least ONCE. Learn how to TRIGGER that moment and move before they turn back to “no!”

The Beginning, the Middle, and the End

In the Master’s Home Study Course Part One (V. 1-12) you learned an enormous amount of cutting-edge material now coming to light in the field of influence. Many consider the Science of Influence the Win Friends and Influence People for the 21st Century! Now you are going to gain access to truly advanced information about social influence and the persuasion process that has never been released to the public, ever!

“Imagine how powerful you would be if you actually knew all the persuasion tactics in existence. Imagine. What would you do? How would you influence others? What would you want?”

Ready? They’re here. All 59 Tactics of Persuasion!

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.

“If You Don’t Know the Tactics, You Simply Cannot Be Persuasive to Anyone or Any Group in the Long Term!” Kevin Hogan
