Futureman, if you are still looking, try Influence by Robert Cialdini

If you understand the dynamics of power, social skills come naturally. I have downloaded terabytes of material on material like this and now I'm starting to study politics and economics.

If you understand how economics works, you can understand what people like, behaviors, (the two driving forces of the market is fear and greed and that can apply to social skills in general also). You can understand target audience when selling and you can also understand target audience when talking to people (knowing what to say to the right people).

Persuasion Skills Black Book: Practical NLP Language Patterns for Getting The Response You Want

Rintu Basu

I read and really like Rintu's book...Teaches simple patterns to try and see results right away. I have tried a few NLP programs and I like his approach.

Bought his advanced program and am going through that now...It's slower than I thought it would be (weekly emails) based on the stuff from the book. He goes too theoretical in the course, but again, the book was very good.

As an example, he teaches an agreement frame which goes like this....

I agree with x and would add y...."Y" is your point that you attached to something that you agree with the person you are talking too. Simple, but powerful.

That is a good one DarkLord. I have Rintu’s Black Book as well. Was thinking about getting more of his material.

Cali, I agree that fear and greed are powerful when it comes to selling and influence.

Just ordered it with hopes that a light will come on. NLP has just been way over my head. Digging a little deeper. *fingers crossed*

Thanks, Lord!

I'm on week 4 of his advanced course...Again, its a little slower than the book because he is in theory mode, but I'm still hopeful because the book was so good.

It's a 6 month program. He took some of his embedded command stuff (which he acknowledges) from Ross Jeffries. Weasel words I think he calls them...

Good luck with it...I got it on my tablet...It's a very fast read and the first two chapters are my favorite. Give it 5 minutes a day. The first two chapter techniques I like to call a mini-jedi mind trick.

I was considering that advanced course as well.....seems promising based on what I got from the Black Book. How do you like it so far?

NLP is a difficult topic. I have found that other instructors and programs just throw everything at you and it can be a bit overwhelming. Rintu has a way of simplifying the material.

That's what I'm HOPING! I've given up on trying to learn what NLP was all about when it comes to seduction too many times! Just want to see what all the fuss was all about.

To be continued ...
