Another Bonus Announced

By Jared May 12th, 2011 Announcements, Uncategorized No Comments

I am sure you are wondering by now, how much will Dark Side II Cost?

Every week I get emails from people telling me, “That they have a “big opportunity” to close a deal that will change their lives and what can they do to guarantee success? That during this economy it is more important then ever… – Kenrick can you please help me!”

Like most people, they want an instant cure to their problem. Unfortunately there is none…expect by continuing your education.

I am a strong believer, there is always a way to make a very comfortable living… you just need the correct skill sets to be able to increase your bank account in any economic environment.

My elite coaching students are doing just that – the last few years their incomes have increased by leaps and bounds – all their friends and family are jealous and envious of what they are achieving.

Let me tell you my coaching students are no smarter then the average person. In fact, many of them have not even graduated college and they are still make more money then doctors, lawyers and other high paid professionals.

What is their secret?

Having the right strategies and tool sets to instantly get inside of their prospects heads and know exactly what they want and desire.

Really, these skills are not rocket science…you just need a few minutes a day to practice them and set your intention to learn them and use them.

The next bonus I am giving to you is Unconscious Persuasion. 6 hours of tactics that will not only explode your income, but give you the skills and strategies that 99.9% of the population have no idea they exist (including your competitors and your prospects).

Ok. Let’s get one thing straight. This information is NOT available anywhere else in the world. And it’s powerful – FRIGGIN powerful. Example: “I just had a chat with one of my fellow seminar attendees, and he can clearly see how what we learned will EASILY triple his company’s revenue in the next twelve months… AND increase his net worth by more than a million dollars several years down the road. So… need more sales? Here’s how: Unconscious Persuasion.” - David Garfinkel, Master Copywriter.

Not only will you get all 7 videos, you will also get the exercises and bonuses. I sold this course for $997 dollars and you are about to get it FREE – less then I am charging you for Dark Side 2.

When you add up all that I am giving you – you will be saving thousands of dollars on my best material I ever released.

My accountant thinks I am absolutely crazy for doing this…but I DON’T Care! This is just my way of helping you reach your maximum potential in 2011.

Here is to a very prosperous future and kicking this economy right in the…

Warmly, Kenrick

What Persuasion Means to Me

By Kenrick Cleveland May 3rd, 2011 Persuasion and Growing Your Business, Self Persuasion, Social Persuasion, Uncategorized 2 Comments

Jason sent me a nice email in which he said that he had just signed up for our mailing list and was new to persuasion but that he had a question. He asked if I would write about what persuasion has meant to me.

Here you go. I hope it is meaningful to you.

My answer could fill volumes but I’ll keep it short today.

One way to answer the question is to ask myself, if it were possible for someone to pay me X amount and I could transfer the skills to them but I would lose them, how much would it be worth to me?

The answer is, I can not imagine a price for which I’d be willing to lose all my skills. My fear would be that if I accepted a huge price, I’d soon be parted with the money when someone came along that knows how to persuade and simply talks me into giving it to them.

These skills have meant being able to earn money when I was young and just starting out by selling more than anyone around me could do. That enabled me to negotiate my way into businesses that would not have looked twice at me otherwise. On the other hand, earning money so easily was a bit of a problem in hindsight. It got me started on a bad habit of not saving money. As a result, I could have gotten ahead much faster if I had learned that lesson younger.

These skills enabled me to extract a degree of revenge when in situations that I felt were undeserved. More than that, I won’t say. But if I had it to do over again, I would probably have made different choices.

These skills taught me to think and reason beyond what most people around me could do. Even just using them inside my head to process the real intent of those around me enabled me to see through a screen of BS that others fell for.

These skills helped me to persuade myself to shed 150 pounds of fat. Sadly, an operation came along and I now have to shed a few of those pounds again. The great thing is, it is happening – and the operation has made me better than new so it is progressing wonderfully.

These skills have given me a window into the best and worst of human desires and motivation. Not much surprises me anymore. This is both amazing and sad. It’s a little hard to explain.

These skills have allowed me to move through life with much less stress and the ability to predict what others will do in most every situation.

These skills have allowed me to buy and sell things far more favorably over the years than had I not known them.

In fact, I can not think of an area of my life where these skills have not helped me more than considerably.

These skills are tried and true friends. I encourage all to make them a part of your life too. After all, where would you not like an advantage?

So, what does persuasion mean to you?

Attack of the Friendlies

By kim July 21st, 2010 Uncategorized 3 Comments

I like the way Abraham Lincoln said it best, “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?”

Now, I don’t know how many of you have actual enemies, arch nemeses, rivals, foes or adversaries. These descriptions seem pretty extreme, but sometimes in business, rivalries happen.  They key is not to let them define us or impede us because unlike movie villains, most people are really just looking for friendlies.

Everywhere people go, they are looking for a friendly face. They are looking for someone to acknowledge them. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re going, or what you’re doing, people look for this acknowledgement.

In our world, people are all the time sending out the signal looking for friendlies. All the time they are searching for people who are going to be nice to them.

And the world ignores them.

Know this going in: as persuaders, you’re going to get ignored. You’re going to “put yourself out there” and people will flat out disregard you, as if you don’t even exist. People will ignore your signals of ‘hello’ and that’s okay. They don’t know any better. Forgive them. You know better and you’ll know how to influence them in a heart beat the second you lay eyes on them.

How is it that what people really want is to be acknowledged and yet, they end up not paying attention to other people? Well, we’re conditioned. We’ve set up our boundaries. Protected ourselves from rejection by rejecting first.  Sheltered ourselves from disappointment by avoiding engagement. And sometimes, for those of us who live in larger cities, we’ve attempted to eliminate some of the impact from energy siphons and “crazies” and have instead opted to look at our shoes or appear otherwise occupied instead of giving a little nod or smile.

And despite all of this, despite the fact that you WILL be rejected, let us commit to stop ignoring people and to cutting back on our own rudeness.

This rudeness, while not confined to the US, is not as prevalent if you go to other countries. Other cultures are quite different in terms of their unconscious hellos and a general openness to greeting people.

Several years ago I visited a Latin American country where I was woefully ignorant of their particular way of greeting. And I say woefully, because I had not only misinterpreted, but I had judged in the process.

After getting off the airplane, I noticed the greeting first in the airport. A man tipped his head back and pushed his lips out. Instead of immediately realizing that this was in fact a greeting, I took it that the man was trying to hit on me. Here, if you purse your lips at someone, it’s an indication of, ‘Yeah, hey, I’d like to kiss you.’

And so I was off put and became increasingly disturbed as the day went on because wherever I’d go, I’d encounter this same treatment. Had I all of the sudden become a very desirable commodity in the gay community? No. Was I giving off a vibe that this was a part of my personality? Again, no. I was not. And yet, here I was confronted over and over again with men suggesting, in my mind, that they wanted to kiss.

Huh? Well, as quick as I like to believe I am. . . Eventually, I noticed a fellow member of the group I was with doing the same thing, and this man was most definitely not interested in other men. Once I saw this, like a lightning bolt, as if the blindfold of my limited cultural frame had been taken off, I began noticing EVERYONE doing this.

Of course, once I realized this, I immediately began to mirror the behavior and all of the sudden, my discomfort became acceptance in this culture that was new to me.

Practice your “unconscious hello” everywhere you go and be sure and tell us all your successes with using it on the blog below.

Keeping It Interesting

By kim April 14th, 2010 Building Rapport, Uncategorized 3 Comments

Dear Persuaders,

This might be kind of a personal question, or perhaps uncomfortable, but it’s something that will advance your persuasion skills immeasurably.   Are you interesting?  In other words, is what you’re saying and how you’re saying it, engaging and appealing to your prospects and clients?  I’m not just talking about the presentation of your product or service, but the before and after talk when you’re simply conversing.

Do you have the ability to talk about any subject off the top of your head?  And I mean most any subject, because the people you’re talking with are going to bring things up and it behooves you to keep up and have the ability to talk about them too.

If you answered no,  you can’t converse on most any subject, here’s a good creativity exercise for you that will help you to gain power with this ability.

Pick a word, a noun, a person, place, thing, or idea, and then come up with other things that it reminds you of.  This is free association.   For example, the word ‘elephant’.  When you hear the word ‘elephant’, what other words do you think of?  Some that I thought of are: tusks, herds, Africa, large game animals, hunting, knowing when and where you’ll die or issues of death, survival, slow and deliberate, memory. ..  you get the point.   I could have gone on for an hour or more because every one of those words would remind me of other things.

By the way, do you know that elephants know where they’re going to die and when?  There are places called elephant graveyards.  When an elephant gets ready to die, (provided that they aren’t hunted down) they go off to the elephant graveyard for their particular herd.

I’ve also heard that elephants have very sensitive souls.  I saw this on an Animal Planet show.  When I heard that, I couldn’t figure out if the souls of their feet are sensitive or if their spiritual souls are sensitive, because both were present in the story.

See?  There are two interesting (I think) tidbits about elephants.  You wouldn’t believe how much is stored up there in your other than conscious which you can really enhance too.

If you were to do this exercise at least once per day, you’ll find after a few weeks that you start getting far more creative and far more capable of talking on any subject that happens to come up.  It will actually help to make you become more interesting.

Another way to determine if you’re interesting is to record yourself and listen to what you’ve said.  Would you bore you?   Do you have really strange inflections or breathing patterns?  Do you breathe noisily into the phone?  Do you have other linguistic afflictions?  Do you go off on tangents and forget to turn back to where you were heading?

If you have trouble figuring this out yourself, ask a close friend to rate your communication.

If they’re game and actually go through with it, giving you feedback, don’t get mad when they come up with something.

Work on these things and mainly, keep alert.  If you see your prospect’s eyes glazing over or losing their train of thought, or if they begin to fidget check in with them, and check in with yourself.

The Stupid Tax

By kim April 1st, 2010 Uncategorized 1 Comment

Dear Persuader,

One of my coaching members, Dr. Charles W. Martin, sent this to me.  His message is so applicable that I asked his permission to give this to you.

The Stupid Tax

copyright 2009 Charles W. Martin

www.AffluentPracticeSystems.com

804-320-6800

When he spoke the room grew quiet. What he said next gave the entire assemblage one of the biggest ah-ha’s of the entire conference. First, he related how he had tried to go it alone and how much he had spent. It was nearly fifty thousand a month promoting his business. His tone foreshadowed his next words.

“I had been paying the stupid tax month in and month out because I thought I could go it alone. Yet when I finally did get the advice and consulting I needed, my promotion spend dropped to twenty-five thousand a month with better results.”

John’s admission created more than a little buzz in the room as each member of the crowd reflected on his own life and the stupid tax he had paid on more than one occasion.

For the throng, it was one of those unexpected learning moments – a treasure that made the entire day worthwhile all by itself.

How many forms of the stupid tax have you seen others pay? Have you paid yourself?

First, the definition of stupid tax: the money, time, energy or effort you paid or lost needlessly.

The stupid tax is an error that costs you that didn’t have to.

Patients pay this toll repeatedly – waiting until the problems are so bad that the time, energy and expense to repair them mount to thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.

The tax is paid when one keeps doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

The tax is levied against one when one fails to act when one knows one should.

The tax is extracted from one’s bank account when one tries to go it alone when one is not an expert in a field when one needs an expert.

This “unnecessary fee” is paid when one fails to implement what works.

The tax comes due when one tries to go cheap when one shouldn’t.

The tax gets paid when patience is required and impatience reigns.

The tax is paid when one doesn’t nurture one’s leads and doesn’t continue to communicate with both leads and existing patients.

The stupid tax is life’s way of teaching us lessons – hopefully only once instead of several times over.

Do you know someone who is paying one now? Can you help them?

All the best!

Kenrick
