more powerful techniques. Here are two of them. Keywords: subliminal persuasion, persuasion, subliminal Article Body: Subliminal persuasion? It is simply influencing people at a level below their conscious recognition. Many people don't even realize they are being influenced by a smile, making even that a subliminal technique. Here are two more subtle methods. Subliminal Persuasion Using Inflection It is easy to assume that a sentence like "I can't promise you that price." has only one meaning. In reality, though, inflection provides much of the actual meaning. Look at the each of the sentences below, each with a different word emphasized, and followed by the implied meaning. I can't promise you that price. (But maybe someone can.) I CAN'T promise you that price. (There's no way.) I can't PROMISE you that price. (But maybe you'll get it.) I can't promise YOU that price. (But I can promise someone else.) I can't promise you THAT price. (But maybe a good price.) I can't promise you that PRICE. (But I can promise something.) The meaning of our statements is determined by which words we emphasize, and it is a subtle process. If you can't promise him that price, you can tell him "I can't promise you that PRICE," and he may still feel good about the situation, especially if you immediately follow with what you can promise him. You probably know what you want to say. Understanding the subtle and often subliminal power of inflection will mean you actually say it. Subliminal Persuasion Using Their Own Words Restate what a person has said they want, and then show them how you can give them that. We all need to have some internal consistency, so we don't like to act against what we say. This is why, as long as you have what they need, this technique works well. For an example, we'll suppose you are selling a prospect a vacation. After listening to what they want, you find something that fits their needs, and then say, "If I remember right, you said you wanted a warm beach, under $2,000 for the week, and with nearby nightlife. I think we're in luck. Both of the packages we just looked at fit your criteria, so do you like Cancun or the Bahamas better?" It is tough for someone to say they are not interested when you just found exactly what they said they wanted, and reminded them of their words. They probably won't even notice that you are using their exact words. They'll just feel uncomfortable contradicting what they said, and find it easier to agree. That's

than Starbucks'. So contradictory was this claim to the two companies' reputations for this demographic group that the colleagues refused to put the matter to a taste test. 5. Extensions. With a well-established brand, you can spread the respect you've earned to a related new product, service or location and more easily win acceptance of the newcomer. For instance, when a winery with a good reputation starts up regional winery tours, then adds foreign ones, each business introduction benefits from the positive perceptions already in place. 6. Greater company equity. Making your company into a brand usually means that you can get more money for the company when you decide to sell it. A Coca-Cola executive once said that if all the company's facilities and inventory vanished all around the world, he could walk into any bank and take out a loan based only on the right to the Coca-Cola name and formula. 7. Lower marketing expenses. Although you must invest money to create a...

to which customers will subject the product, it should be remembered that customers will use the product for uses which the inventor intended as well as uses which the inventor did not intend, nor even foresee such use. For example, a screw driver might be used as a chisel which is struck by a hammer. Care must be taken to make the product robust enough to withstand foreseeable unintended uses and to warn the customer of foreseeable hazardous uses such as by applying a warning sticker to the product and a warning on the packaging and on the instructional materials. Questions in this regard should be directed towards a lawyer specializing in the legal field of Products Liability, such as in most larger city yellow pages phonebook. Finally, regarding factor 4, that the product is not properly packaged, advertised, and promoted to appeal to the customer, it should be remembered that the packaging of the product is part of the overall first impression the potential customer has of your ...

Consistently put out your communication in the same way you did with your initial mailings, but with a more personalized message. That is Database Marketing. That is how you get people to buy from you after they have reached by following up with them enough. Put in your calendar to make three different follow up phone calls; if you get voice mail then leave a message that really communicates to them. Send a variable data postcard, send an email, but stay in touch. You will be glad you did û in fact youÆll be smiling all the way to the bank. Title: Staying Afloat in a World Gone Adrift Word Count: 1247 Summary: Stating that we are living in a "world gone mad" may sound a bit drastic, but no one can deny we're hurtling towards an ugly place at a speed we can't control. The economy is going downhill, jobs are being shipped off overseas and even real estate is declining in value. How can we protect our future when our present is so dire? The outlook doesn't have t...
