1
If you understand this, you will never run out of opportunities because everything you want in life requires persuasion.
2
And the only way to persuade someone is to understand how they think.
3
I run multiple nine -figure businesses and have personally sold hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.
4
I'm going to give you 20 years of proven psychological strategies that you can use to get anyone to say yes, broken down by the five areas of the brain.
5
Starting with The frontal lobe, which is responsible for reasons, specifically the prefrontal cortex, is super important.
6
Women have a larger one than men, actually.
7
You might think that people take actions based on logic.
8
You would be like most people then.
9
But here's how you spot somebody who doesn't really know how to sell things in about four seconds.
10
They try to convince someone not actually using the most important part of this brain, which is the creativity due to emotions.
11
They try to convince someone about features.
12
The trash bag's super light.
13
Our product has an incredible dashboard that processes your data at 300 megabytes per second.
14
No, no, no. That's not useful at all.
15
When people say they're trying to be reasonable, they don't need more reasons to buy from you.
16
They actually want to know, what does good mean and is it going to be good for me?
17
Your brain has so much going on at once that trying to figure out, is this going to be good for me, is nearly impossible.
18
So your brain resorts to these things called heuristics, which is a fancy way of saying a mental shortcut.
19
I wanna show you a breakdown that's going to change your life.
20
I wanna talk about something called the is this good triangle.
21
So at the top, I wanna think about it like authority.
22
Does someone who should know say it's good?
23
This is why you see so many experts recommending products, right?
24
This is your authority.
25
Sometimes we also call it the kingmaker.
26
You don't need Gordon Ramsay to recommend your restaurant for this to work, But Robert Cialdini's team, they actually ran this experiment on a real estate agency.
27
A receptionist started adding a single sentence before she transferred the call.
28
Let me put you through to Peter, our head of sales.
29
He has over 20 years selling properties in this area.
30
What do you think happened?
31
Appointments went up.
32
How much?
33
20%.
34
Just from adding this authority stat.
35
Signed contracts went up 15%.
36
One sentence.
37
Authority usually works the best on someone who's alone and unfamiliar.
38
But you can't say it about yourself.
39
Get someone else to call you the expert.
40
The second one is social proof.
41
So social proof really is this question.
42
It's instead of is this good, it's how do other people react to this?
43
And I'm not just talking about testimonials.
44
So a group of psychologists ran a study with bathroom hotel cards.
45
One card said help save the environment, show your respect for nature.
46
The other said almost 75 % of guests who are asked to participate do reuse their towels.
47
Which one won?
48
The latter, right?
49
The 75%.
50
Why?
51
Because people are going to do what other people socially have done, also called a bandwagon effect.
52
The way you use this is by telling the customer what most people do.
53
If you say, we have this entry offer, but most people, they need our service more.
54
So they choose the middle offer.
55
They're actually more likely to upgrade from your entry level offer, especially if you do an important thing, stick a number by it not just most people,
56
but 75 % of people need this offer.
57
Number three, scarcity.
58
So scarcity is, instead of is this good, how many are left?
59
If not a lot, it must be good.
60
But there is a way to this that works in a way that makes you sound like every
61
entry -level marketer who took one psychology class in college, which we don't want.
62
I don't want you to say these words ever.
63
Limited spots available.
64
Nobody believes that.
65
Write this instead remember we want to use a number
66
so I have four slots in this cohort two are gone
67
this specificity feels more genuine you're implying scarcity not coming out
68
and saying it oh
69
and a bonus tip for appealing to someone's frontal lobe stop
70
using round numbers fascinating studies showing don't quote 450k quote four hundred
71
and thirty seven thousand five hundred don't quote a client ten grand quote them $9 ,850.
72
There is a cap to this though.
73
One person took this advice too literally and listed his condo at $454 ,963.
74
I think he got zero offers. So why?
75
Because you have to make your prices informed, not unhinged.
76
If you nail this though, you're going to be able to logically convince people to buy more.
77
But I want to get to the next reason why people won't buy.
78
Because maybe they've already decided they're not going to let's change their mind segment two occipital lobe
79
or what they call vision so the occipital lobe comes in
80
when you need to see things you know
81
that saying never judge a book by its cover you should
82
and it turns out you already are it takes you less
83
than a second to make a judgment about somebody you don't
84
have a chance to say a single word in the fraction of a second somebody else is deciding
85
if you're serious worthwhile And somebody they should listen to and there's so much that goes on to this namely
86
Like the way you present yourself, your hair, your body language, your office, the colors on your slides, even the pictures on your website.
87
And so when you think about selling people on something, there was a psychologist who actually ran this study, fascinating, showing two different pictures on a homepage.
88
Everything was the same except the background picture.
89
Some people saw clouds in the sky, others saw pennies.
90
The people who saw clouds started paying more attention to what?
91
Oh, soft, fluffy comfort.
92
The people who saw pennies starting paying more attention to what?
93
Money, small, my pocketbook.
94
Think about how insane that is.
95
The website actually never told them care about money, care about comfort.
96
The background did.
97
Now why does that matter?
98
Well, the website was for a mattress.
99
So by putting pennies anywhere near that website, or dollar bills it turns out, people would actually care more about the price than they would the comfort.
100
When they put clouds on it, more people bought.
101
This is actually called priming.
102
It's something where your environment quietly tells your brain what to pay attention to next.
103
And because of this, the setup before the sale actually matters more than the sale itself.
104
And I want to tell you how you can control this.
105
And also, I want you to think about one thing here.
106
The next time you go to have a difficult conversation, maybe you should think more about what your setting is
107
and how you're primed instead of what you're gonna say to the other person.
108
I bet you win more often.
109
Let me show you.
110
Colors.
111
So most color psychology online is way too simplistic.
112
Blue means trust, green means money.
113
It's not that clean.
114
You have to look at the why behind the colors.
115
For example, red, what does it do?
116
You associate it with like a stop sign, an ambulance, blood.
117
It's associated according to urgency and intensity and competitiveness.
118
In auctions, red made people bid more aggressively.
119
But in one -on -one negotiations, red actually makes people lower offers.
120
It also matters the shade of the color.
121
So the brighter and more saturated the colors were, the greater the arousal, let's call it.
122
The excitement, the effects of a color depend on hue, saturation, brightness, all of it kind of interacting together.
123
And here's your color cheat sheet.
124
Bright saturated red, high energy, competition.
125
Burgundy, restrained power, old line.
126
Bright blue, energetic, modern.
127
Navy, restrained competence, right?
128
Bright green, growth, energy.
129
Dark green, stability, wealth growth.
130
See how it's like, basically, the brighter it is, the more energy, and then the same emotion, according to each one.
131
The next one, if you want to get paid like a pro, you have to dress like a pro.
132
And the best part of this is it really doesn't matter how attractive you are.
133
I know a lot of people are like, pretty privileged, that is a thing, but that's not what we're talking about here.
134
I'm not trying to get you to do a nose job and a facelift.
135
A study from Princeton found that the same faces paired with richer -looking clothing were actually judged as more competent.
136
And it depends on the context.
137
So like, if you're dressing for door -to -door sales jobs in Ohio, that means you're probably going to wear a uniform that's really crisp and obvious,
138
rather than if you're at a networking event and if you're in a uniform in New York, that's not going to fly.
139
A good starting point is if you want to be in a fancy setting and be seen as luxury, that means natural fabrics, so things like linen,
140
get clothes that fit, muted colors like white or black or navy no logos on any of these
141
and get one really nice piece like it really shouldn't be a jacket it should be a watch
142
or a purse
143
that signals i'm successful here's my visual representation of it you
144
can have a huge impact by the way you move your body
145
so for god's sakes do not stand in a defensive posture
146
if you're trying to get somebody to buy something from you no crossed arms no hands behind the back
147
which signifies i might be hiding something Hands in front of you, you know, palms open in the beginning, signals trust, no slouching, stand up straight.
148
Studies show this significantly boosts the speaker's persuasiveness, clarity, and whether they think that you're any good or not during sales pitches.
149
You control the frame, you control the sale, and controlling the frame doesn't just happen by the way you look.
150
You can have everything right, wear all the right colors, but if you lead right up to the delivery of the ask, and you mess up the ask at that point, nothing else matters
151
and all the time you put into your appearance kind of
152
was for nothing all right segment three i want to talk about the pareto lobe numbers
153
so in this part of the brain it's responsible for processing
154
numbers doing basic math my part of this brain sucks but
155
when someone hears that your product costs for instance five thousand dollars
156
or that you want this huge salary increase this part of the brain processes
157
that number it has one major flaw though it can only evaluate a number against another number in isolation
158
but let me show you something
159
if i ask you do you want to buy something for 10k this is a lot of money why
160
because i have no price anchor
161
and the pareto lobe defaults to comparing it to zero
162
so ten thousand dollars very far away from zero dollars
163
so that's a lot but now let's say i give you ten thousand dollar offer
164
or what about if i charge you a hundred thousand dollars Well, the difference between the two changes things, doesn't it?
165
Suddenly, the 10K looks a lot cheaper, and you might pay it more easily.
166
The number actually means nothing.
167
It's basically the frame around the number and how it's presented.
168
And so I want to show you three ways to use this to make more money consistently over time
169
and probably sell more at higher prices.
170
There are three frames I use around numbers.
171
They look like this, and I think about it like a ladder.
172
First, I want you to say the big number first even
173
if it has nothing to do with your product for instance
174
there's a salesman selling a 75k product everybody fighting him on
175
price then he jokingly says now i know i can't charge you guys a million dollars for this
176
and suddenly nobody was questioning his price anymore it's kind of a silly joke
177
but it shows this really strong psychology principle
178
that our pareto lobe needs another number to compare to
179
so number two we are going to give them the compared to what
180
or the versus So I talk about this in my book, Owner Be Owned.
181
It's on page 40.
182
Before you say the cost of the product, quantify how much the customer is going to make if they go with you, or how much money they will lose if they don't go with you, or how much money they'll save,
183
or how much freedom they'll get, whatever it is.
184
Now that you do that, the price doesn't seem so bad when it's compared to an even bigger gain or loss.
185
Easy way to do this would be roofing cost, 4K, but man, if you don't fix it, $40 ,000 worth of problems in your house.
186
So show them the versus.
187
And then number three, what do you say after the number?
188
I call this one the not a damn thing.
189
Shut up.
190
Here's why that's harder than it sounds.
191
There's a study done that proved
192
that people who don't add an argument to their offer have fewer counter arguments and higher outcomes in negotiations.
193
So your offer should sound like, and the price is 20K.
194
Are you in?
195
Not, it's 20K because our competitive rates are this
196
and we're going to provide that and we're going to do this in your business and this next thing.
197
No, no, no. i would actually probably say something like
198
and the investment is twenty thousand dollars are you ready for
199
that and the bonus psychology hack
200
when people look at a price they don't actually process the
201
full number they only judge by the number on the left sort of
202
so a lot of things this is why everything is priced by like you know 97 cents
203
or 99 cents because 3 .99 feels slightly cheaper than $4 because of the left number bias.
204
The crazy part is sophisticated people think, oh, that's kind of gross.
205
I would never do that.
206
They actually fall for it the most.
207
So at this point, you've picked your number, you framed it right.
208
You've done your versant, you've shut up, but it still doesn't matter if you can't deliver your pitch in a convincing way.
209
You'll still lose the sale in a second.
210
Let's talk about how to change that.
211
segment four temporal lobe the language area of your brain this
212
lobe is one of the main two you are using right now listening to me talk that's your temporal lobe
213
and it's responsible for language processing it's also the reason behind why two people can seemingly say the same thing
214
and you get two totally different results why
215
because there are actually two parts to language there's what you say
216
and there's how you say it and so some words work better than others and some ways of delivering work better.
217
I've been giving presentations in boardrooms and on stage for nearly 20 years.
218
I'm going to let you steal my homework, and we're going to hack the sensory part of the brain.
219
Do's and don'ts.
220
When you're speaking, I want you to get rid of what I call soft words, powerless words.
221
These are phrases like, kind of, sort of, I think, I feel.
222
They make you look incompetent.
223
If you don't believe in what you're selling, why should the other person?
224
This is, instead, what do you want to do?
225
You want to have, really, like a lightning strike, powerful words this will you will next step second is intensifiers very
226
so really honestly okay I think about these as fill in
227
the blank words you don't really need them one way
228
or the other what would I do instead let's get you some powerful punctuation right periods exclamation points
229
if you need these very
230
so really honestly your message isn't strong enough I want you to use stronger nouns
231
and i want you to use periods
232
and exclamation points i also want you to make sure you
233
don't do the worst thing especially a lot of women do
234
that i see
235
which is call them filler words kind of looks like a
236
butt it's not this is like like um like um instead
237
what do we do not a damn thing this is your silence
238
if you need to think instead of saying like um just pause, take a second.
239
And the fourth is sorry.
240
I do not want you to apologize or be overly polite.
241
Instead, what do I want you to do?
242
Instead of sorry, I want you to think they should thank me for this.
243
I am providing a service that is so valuable they should thank me.
244
I want you to realize when you overly apologize and you're too polite, you're basically lowering yourself in the value of what you have
245
to say by prefacing it with any of these really make everything you say concrete.
246
This is a good rule, because if you can't visualize it, they won't value it.
247
So I don't want you to say things like, we have fast delivery.
248
This is what I would call vague.
249
Instead, I want you to say things like, it is going to be there by Friday.
250
Specific, aka a date.
251
Don't say, we're going to save you time and money.
252
Okay, that's way too vague.
253
Instead, I would say something like, clients who choose us, save on average, dollar amount
254
or you could even go with something like hour x number
255
of hours a month great it's easier for your brain to visualize
256
and process specifics over vague premises
257
and then i want to talk about this third one
258
which is reflection this is one of the most powerful tools in sales
259
if you use it correctly
260
so in one study waitresses who repeated their clients orders exactly
261
how they said it back to them got tipped how much more do you guys think 81
262
so what do we want to do we actually want to
263
mirror what our customer says we want to say almost exactly
264
back to them the waitresses who paraphrased they only got tipped 61 of the time
265
so you have to be specific
266
and reflect back what the person said to you for this
267
to work reflection plays off of this other thing called the
268
psychology principle of consistency humans have this weird need to stay consistent in their identity
269
and belief it's basically why people say i am a republican
270
or i am a democrat and then only do the things
271
that those types of people do here's how this works
272
if you want to make money you have them express their problem in words
273
and then you lead up to the sale with since you're experiencing exact words
274
that they told you i know this is a fit for
275
you all right here's the other hard truth it's not just
276
what you say it's how you say it i think this
277
gets broken down into five things i'll tell them to you now first we're gonna start with pace
278
so this is all about the speed at which you create excitement
279
or momentum slow down to make something feel more important you speed it up
280
when you're excited and you want them to get ramped up right
281
so that speed or pace of how you speak is really important what do you do
282
when you want them to pay a lot of attention to you
283
and really lean in you might actually lower your pitch then we want you to go into volume
284
so you increase your volume as a signal of energy or conviction actually now that I think about it, I think this one and the next one are almost exactly the same.
285
Originally, I thought there were five, but I actually think that these two are really similar.
286
So when I was thinking about it originally, volume would be how much higher or lower you go.
287
But as I thought about it for the normal person, you probably are going to sound weird if you try to change your pitch, aka, I'm really excited.
288
I don't know.
289
That just comes off as fake to me.
290
You could probably put these two together.
291
The other one that I use a lot that's really important, though, is Pawsits.
292
this one's super painful but really important remember
293
when i told you to shut up this is really uncomfortable i know
294
but silence is actually a good separator from great speakers
295
and everybody else then let's talk about intonation as the last one this one i use a lot
296
which is basically to control
297
which word carries the meaning this is the best option for
298
you this is the best option for you this is the best option for you it's the same words
299
but lots of different ways to say them and they give them different meanings.
300
Before you say what you're going to say, ask yourself, what point do I actually want to make?
301
And try to get your intonation to match that.
302
The way you do it more than anything else is one P that we didn't put on there, which is practice.
303
I had an employee that wanted to give a pitch.
304
Something that we do when we try to do sales and it's called the heart close.
305
And he went on stage to give the heart close, except dude's actually got a closed heart.
306
He was not in touch with his emotions, and he's not in touch with his feelings.
307
He was giving this really heartfelt story.
308
But imagine if I'm like telling you a story about my father passing.
309
And what I actually say is like, well, my dad passed away.
310
And what happened is it was on Tuesday and it happened really quickly.
311
And like my mom was really sad and our entire family had a difficult time with it.
312
I feel nothing.
313
But if I'm like, my dad passed away on Tuesday and my mom had a really hard time with it.
314
Exact same words.
315
But the only way you're going to get good at the
316
second as opposed to the first is you're going to try it a lot.
317
All of this assumes the one principle this entire video is built on.
318
Next segment, the insula, which is called the gut in some ways.
319
The last part of the brain that is arguably the most important for closing the sale is the insula.
320
It determines what we call your gut feeling and tries to answer the question, do I trust this person?
321
You will not sell if you can't build trust.
322
I want to show you how to do it in a
323
way that's going to blow your brain on how easy it
324
actually is for trust builders in sales the first one my
325
favorite maybe besides the last one is the anti -sale what
326
does this mean this is the best way to increase trust with a client because you're actually not selling them on anything.
327
I want you to believe in your product, but I promise you it's not right for everybody.
328
So you could have the cure for cancer and you still shouldn't try to sell it to everybody.
329
Why?
330
Not everybody has cancer.
331
This is where the anti -sale comes in.
332
I want you to be honest with the person.
333
You can almost tell in a second on their face if they're into something or not.
334
You don't force it.
335
And that way, even if you don't get the sale, that rapport can compound into referrals.
336
It can compound into different product sets
337
because you might be the first person they call since they know you're not gonna try to sell them on everything.
338
Number two, I call the time waster.
339
I don't want you to waste people's time.
340
So many sales calls start with fake interest.
341
Hey, Brad, how you doing today?
342
How was your weekend?
343
Enjoying the sunshine?
344
It's a little hot in Austin, Texas, isn't it?
345
Oh my God, shut up, what?
346
Why are we talking about this?
347
People with money don't like having their time wasted and they also don't typically like small talk.
348
A way to build trust instantly is to get into it.
349
Hey, Brad, great talking with you i know you're slammed i only want to talk to you about this one thing
350
and get into it that's it i'm gonna keep this one
351
short in spirit of the idea itself three people trust people
352
who are like them this is another version of this mirror theory that we had previously in one experiment
353
researchers found
354
that simply discovering you shared a birthday with someone increased the
355
person saying yes to you from 34 to 62 there's a bunch of other studies
356
that have shown the same effect to close more sales now
357
you don't have to fake a birthday although i for decades
358
would send a notice out to people i really wanted to close
359
and say by the way it is my birthday
360
if you want to do something really special you could do x
361
and i swear you'll one get a bunch of responses
362
and two get a bunch of people to do it
363
so do a quick search on the person before you meet with them do you share any interests
364
that they post about do you follow the same topics on whatever social platform then
365
when it naturally comes up you know what to talk about
366
in fact one time i got profiled by a con man
367
who used to be a CIA agent this is a true story
368
and it's ridiculous and I remember my like spidey senses going up at some point
369

Wat je leert
In deze video ontdek je niet alleen psychologische trucs, maar ook hoe je natuurlijke Engels spreekt door te luisteren naar structuur en argumentatie. Je leert om complexe ideeën helder te presenteren, net zoals de spreker die 20 jaar ervaring verwerkt in eenvoudige uitleg. Daarnaast oefen je met het gebruik van voorbeelden om punten te versterken, een vaardigheid die essentieel is voor overtuigend praten. Dit helpt je niet alleen in sales, maar ook in alledaagse gesprekken om je mening te delen.
Luister naar deze geluiden
Let op de verbindingen tussen woorden in de spraak. Bijvoorbeeld: "what do you think happened" wordt vaak uitgesproken als "whaddaya think happened" (met een verkleining van "do you" tot "dya"). Ook "let me put you through" klinkt soms als "lemme putcha through" (vermindering van "let me" en "you"). Deze verkleiningen en linkingen maken de spraak soepeler en zijn typisch voor informele Engels. Luister ook naar de klemtoon op woorden als "authority", "social proof" en "20 years" – deze woorden krijgen meer nadruk om de belangrijkste punten te benadrukken.
Spreek het zoals een native
Om de rhythmiek van de spreker na te bootsen, gebruik de shadowing techniek (ook wel schaduwspraak genoemd). Herhaal de zinnen direct na de spreker, met dezelfde snelheid en intonatie. Let op de pauzes na belangrijke punten, zoals na "Appointments went up. How much? 20%." Deze pauzes creëren spanning en maken je verhaal boeiender. Ook de klemtoon op cijfers (20%, 15%, 75%) is belangrijk – deze geven gewicht aan de resultaten. Gebruik een shadowing app om je voortgang te volgen en om te oefenen met de timing. Onthoud: de sleutel is niet alleen de juiste woorden, maar ook de manier waarop je ze presenteert, net zoals de spreker die emotie en overtuiging combineert.
Door deze technieken te oefenen, verbeter je niet alleen je Engels, maar ook je vaardigheid om anderen te overtuigen. Of je nu een salesprofessional bent of gewoon wilt leren beter te praten, deze tips helpen je om je spraak natuurlijker en effectiever te maken. Probeer de shadowing techniek vandaag nog uit en merk het verschil!
Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Voorwaardelijke zinnen if + zin, will/would + werkwoord — een voorwaarde en het gevolg | If you understand this, you will never · if you can't visualize it, they won't value |
| Betrekkelijke bijzinnen who / which + zin — extra informatie over een persoon of ding | lobe, which is · somebody who doesn · brain, which is |
| Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet | are asked · are left · is actually called |
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | have personally sold · have done · they've already decided |
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
