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

appropriate. 4) Ditch the special effects. Transition effects were developed for scene changes, and the most powerful one is still the dissolve. Page turns, circle wipes, shatters, and other "planet of the cheap special effects" stuff will drive an audience to distraction-- away from your story. You're not the star, your subject or client is. 5) Shoot for the editor. There are basic rules of editing, but what they come down to is this: long shot, medium shot, close-up, cutaway. When you're shooting footage of the happy couple in the rose garden, we want to see the garden, them, their faces, their hands (and a close-up of the wedding ring, and some signage telling us they're in the rose garden. Oh, a close-up or scan of their newspaper wedding announcement is nice, too. Is it time? Put your pencils down. Follow these rues and pass to the next level of video storytelling! Good luck.

people have about the industry, to illustrate a small but significant problem that generally annoys customers when dealing with your competitors, or anything else that allows you to highlight your solution. Take a look at your own point of difference. Can you come up with a level-setting statement that will help you stand out even more? #3 Address The Stereotype Head-on You know how as soon as people discover you're a _________________(insert your title here), they immediately form an impression about you that's based on a stereotype? Unfortunately, that stereotype is often negative. For professions such as life insurance agents or used car salespeople, where the negative stereotypes run strong and deep, I recommend you address the stereotype head-on: "If I tell you I'm a used car salesman, you'd probably think 'plaid jacket guy who sells lemons to unsuspecting customers', right?" Pausing here is important here, because you want to give the listener ti...
