There are several dark aspects to NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) - this coming from a mostly pro-NLP website: 500ways.com/the-dark-sid... ( #NLP, #NeuroLinguisticProgramming, #psychology, #hypnotherapy, #persuasion, #coercion, #hypnosis, #darkSide, #darkness)

🪜 Before someone does something big for you, get them to do something small first. Chase Hughes calls this "micro compliance" — and it's the same technique used in hypnosis, cult recruitment, and political persuasion. Each tiny "yes" trains the brain to keep saying yes.

Mind Games: The Dark Art of Getting Everything You Want Stop losing the room before you even speak. 🛑 Ever walked away from a deal feeling like you were played? Most people think negotiation is a logical debate. They’re wrong. It’s a high-stakes game of psychological maneuvers, ego, and raw human behavior. If you aren't the one setting the anchor, you’re just drifting in someone else’s current. In this episode, we’re stripping away the 'polite' corporate talk to reveal the dark arts of persuasion and the tactical strategies used by world-class negotiators to seize absolute control. Whether you're closing a million-dollar contract or deciding who does the dishes, these techniques shift the balance of power in your favor—instantly. Here is what we’re diving into: - ⚓ Psychological Anchoring: Why the first number mentioned dictates the entire reality of the deal. - 🛡️ The BATNA Advantage: How to build a 'Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement' so strong you’ll never fear walking away again. - 😶 Tactical Silence: The uncomfortable secret to making your opponent spill their hidden concessions. - 🪞 Mirroring & The Flinch: Subtle linguistic hacks and physical reactions that force the other side to second-guess their value. - 🤝 The Law of Reciprocity: Stop giving things away! Learn why you must trade concessions rather than donate them. Negotiation isn't about finding a middle ground; it's about shaping perceptions of value. This isn't just business—it’s a masterclass in human psychology designed to ensure you never leave money (or power) on the table again. 💸 Are you ready to stop playing nice and start playing smart? 👉 Hit play now to transform your leverage. If you found these tactics 'dangerously' effective, share this episode with one person who needs to stop folding under pressure! 🚀🔥

The Hypnotic Secret to Winning Deals (Michael Lovitch) What if everything you’ve been taught about closing a deal is actually triggering your prospect’s brain to run the other way? Standard B2B sales playbooks are built on friction: pitch features, battle objections, and push for a close. But neurologically speaking, when you push, the buyer's natural defense mechanism is to push back. Today, we break down an unconventional framework from Michael Lovitch's Comfort Control Selling. Discover how to use conversational hypnosis to bypass the skeptical brain, pace your prospect's reality, and guide them to a sale without triggering an ounce of resistance. Enjoyed this? Upgrade to Premium for the full 20-minute deep dive where we unpack the exact step-by-step "Truth, Truth, Truth" sequence, reveal the AI data behind conversational judo, and discuss the ethical boundaries of psychological influence.

Like Putin's war with Ukraine, the US-Israeli war with Iran will not be over in days. The next phase will focus on creating the illusion of consent.

BOLO for abrupt shifts in tone and messaging from well-known influencers & random newish accounts. #Persuasion #Normalization #ManufacturingConsent

If you think the threat of #war w/ #Iran, or an actual war is a good way to achieve US foreign policy goals, here's why I think you're wrong. #negotiation #influence #persuasion youtu.be/TFlfNdXC91o?...

Sci-Fi Great PJ Manney on (ID)Entity and Weaponizing Narrative PJ Manney on her latest book (ID)entity and the dangers of monetizing and weaponizing narrative, which is what companies such as Cambridge Analytica do.

PJ Manney on (ID)entity and weaponized narrative:

“We are fish swimming in the water and we don’t know it is water. The job of science fiction is to show you the water.”

In the age of #AI #persuasion, that’s strategy, not metaphor.

Everyone has a voice. Use it.
