“Have you ever been cheated, lied to or taken in?  Do people constantly get one over on you or make you feel inferior? Maybe that’s because you’re not aware of all. . .

If you’ve had enough of other people controlling you, making you suffer, causing you stress, anxiety or worry, then this letter may be one of the most important you’ve read all year.”

 

Dear Friend

     Have you ever wondered, as I have, why some people always appear to get their own way?  Why they always seem to make you give in to them?

     In this letter I’m going to expose some of the sneaky little tricks they don’t want you to know. 

     There are two reasons why you absolutely must know what these are. Here they are:

1.   When you have to persuade someone to do what you want or you end up suffering

2.   When someone is trying to con you into doing things their way at your expense

     I came to realise this one truth from my own bitter experience:

People will lie to you. And if you are unable to convince, influence or persuade others to your way of thinking . . . you lose.

     You’re at their mercy.

     And some people are downright dishonest. They hope to make you their next target. They’ll lie, cheat and steal to get what they want.

     On the flip side… your ability to get other people to do what you want... give you what you want... when you want them to... is the most valuable skill you can posses. And your ability to spot when

people are cheating you is the second most valuable skill to have. 

     Actually, these two go hand in glove.

     The power of persuasion - how to have it, and how to defend against it – isn’t taught in school, college or university. And yet the more persuasive you become the more you get of the things you want in life.

     That may be more happiness... more money... more power... more love... prestige... more sex... more luxury time off for adventure... and anything else you can think of now as you keep reading.

     Before I show you how to be more persuasive in every area of your life you’ll want to see what’s happening to you now.

 

     Please take a moment to answer these few questions:

 

Do you ever feel like a failure when people don’t do what you want?

Are your ideas ignored by your boss/co-workers?

Do you get frustrated if your partner/spouse won’t do what you want?

Do people take advantage of you more often than you’d like?

When speaking to friends do they ever make you doubt yourself?

Do you ever get anxious asking for what you want?

When talking to others do you sometimes feel unsupported?

Do people lie to you without you realising?

Do you ever felt thwarted by others?

Are you ever stressed, feel guilt or shame because of others?

Do people often ignore and fail to act upon your suggestions?

Has anyone ever cheated you out of anything?

 

     If you answered yes to 3 or more of these questions then other people are making your life miserable.

     That’s about to change – forever. You are going to really love what’s coming up next. Because if people have been taking advantage of you… or you’re not getting your own way when you want to, now it’s the time to turn the tables.

     In the past you may have believed you couldn’t get ahead in life the way you wanted to. But tell yourself this - armed with what you’re about to read - that’s all about to change. When you can

persuade powerfully and prevent others from tricking you... everything changes.  You’re life now... for maybe the first time... is in your control. You get to set and reach your goals.

     Not now and again, but every time.

     People around you start to recognise your natural abilities and begin to respect you.  You’ll be more popular with others and see instant improvements in your relationships with those you love. 

    Your work will bring you more satisfaction and joy. You may even earn more money. Your communication skills will dramatically improve.

     All those difficult friendships now become easier.  Because you will not only be able to influence others, but you’ll be able to convince yourself of your ability to be more... do more and have more.

 

     Persuasion Rule Number Two

 

     Look around at all the people you know.  Mother… Father… friends… loved ones… bosses… co-workers… family… church leaders… Doctor… dentist… solicitor… and teachers. Who are the most persuasive?

     Answer: Anyone of these you see as an authority figure at the time of talking with them.

    Nothing persuades quite like the “parent-child” relationship. Its automatic influence... here’s why:

If you’ve ever been to a circus and seen elephants chained to a stake in the ground you may have been confused.

The baby elephant has this huge chain around one of its legs, attached to a large stake in the ground.  The parent has a small chain attached to a tiny stake.

     Surely it should be the other way around. The bigger elephant has the bigger stake, right?  Wrong!

     You see as the elephant is growing up that large stake won’t ever

budge no matter how hard she tugs at it.  Eventually she gives up trying. 

     When she is older and much bigger, the smaller stake is just a symbol of something that can’t be escaped from.

     It’s a reminder there are limits, even though they are

false limits.

     Now go back in time to when you were growing up.  All those around you were bigger than you and they – for the most – part were people who had authority over you.

 

Parents, church leaders, school teachers and the rest

 

     Now when people try to influence you they go into a parent – child or student – teacher role that reminds you of when you were young.

     Like the adult elephant - outside forces may have set your limits. It could have happened this way mainly for your protection and sometimes even to control you for good or bad. And that’s not your fault.

     Also it doesn’t have to stay that way.  You can use this “parent-child” tactic very effectively once you know Persuasion Rule Number One.

     Three years ago I was living the life I’d always dreamed of. The house I was living in had an outdoor swimming pool with its own private chalet for showering and changing after a swim.

     It was in the beautiful countryside close to the sea in Dorset. We had 11 acres of land, three holiday chalets... two riding stables a four bedroom house.

     It was luxury.  I was living with a fantastic woman... we’d been together almost 10 years.  She worked for my successful mail-order business and only had to walk 50 yards to work.

     Then one day out of the blue I caught her out cheating on me.  The man, who lived nearby was 11 years younger than her.

     But he had three children under five, was a mechanic and had a history of mental breakdowns.

     All of this made no sense to me.  Our split up left me feeling empty and sad. We sold the stunning house we both loved and went our separate ways.

     Determined to humiliate me she insisted on keeping her job working for my company.  It was another year before she finally left.

     I was left devastated by the whole set of circumstances. Looking back I realised she had been using some very sneaky little tricks to convince me she wasn’t having an affair.  But the clues were all there.

     At first I didn’t see them, but one by one they became more

obvious.  If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of lies, you know how I felt…

 

I’d had enough

 

     So now I’ve made it my personal mission to discover and expose the little deceptions people use to fool me and you.

     My journey took me into the darker side of persuasion.  I’ve sold for most of my life. . .

     But what I was about to discover astounded me.

     In America and now here in the UK there are men who call themselves Pick-Up Artists (PUA’s).  The ultimate con-men. You may even have heard of them.

     They prey on innocent women for one night stands.  They even have their own language and now a TV channel. You can look them up on Sky TV.

     These devious men pick up women by using a number of different techniques from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

     Although NLP was never designed for this, they twisted and warped its use for their own ‘gains’ at the expensive of their women victims.

     As I was already studying the good side of persuasion, it made sense to me at the time to take a look at the dark side.

     I wanted to protect myself and never be hurt again.  As one karate expert said, it’s no good knowing how to punch if you don’t know how to block.

     You’ll just get beaten bloody.

     So I spent almost a year learning these devious techniques.  And yes, I admit I did try one or two of them to see if they worked.

 

They did with such accuracy it’s frightening

 

     I don’t think anyone who wants a decent long-term relationship could ever, or would ever use this stuff. But it’s useful to know how to defend yourself against anyone trying it on you.

     What I discovered most of what they use came from one man.  Kenrick Cleveland, the world’s foremost persuasion master. He never intended the misuse of these strategies either.

     He is married with two teenage kids. But he does have over 35 years experience with advanced persuasion strategies originating from NLP. But unscrupulous people like these Pick Up Artists paid
Kenrick a small fortune to learn these techniques so they could take advantage of naive women. But now after learning these strategies I know...

 

No one could ever use me, trick me or con me again

 

     Soon after discovering the darker side of persuasion I got lucky. I had an invitation to be personally mentored by Kenrick Cleveland. Finally I was on my way.

     Let me tell you he’s not cheap... I paid over £600.00 a month. 

     I spent two years in intensive study.  I worked hard and spent two or three hours a day, every day for 24 months.

     Although what he taught me I would never use to harm another soul they would save me from many would be con merchants.

     Fortunately what Kenrick taught me is so complicated most people couldn’t learn it.  His method of teaching hurt my brain on many occasions, but I kept at it, I had good reason to.

 

I wanted freedom from conmen and cheating partners

 

     One of my many achievements since learning Kenrick’s most advanced material was when I taught a group of elite salespeople, some of them earning over £75,000 a year, how to be even more persuasive.

     During my three months with them, they broke every sales record in their company history.

     Even though they are top earners and achievers, they are not overly bright.  Very few are in the window/conservatory business.

     So I had to simplify what I’d learned from Kenrick.

 

A format anyone can use

 

     I’ve taken seven of Kenrick’s powerful persuasion strategies, tested them in the toughest conditions like cold-calling on strangers, turning them into customers. 

     Yes, even during a recession.

     I still occasionally sell on commission only just to keep me sharp and to continue making these skills even easier to apply. I’ve also put together seven of the sneakiest tricks used on me, and the same ones others use on you so you do what they want. 

     Obviously it’s no good knowing one side of persuasion without knowing the other. How simple have I made these?  Let me ask you…

     Did you think what I revealed earlier in Persuasion Skill Number Two the ‘parent-child’ persuasion strategy was easy or difficult to grasp?

     It was easy, right?  Just like all the skills I will show you.

     And when you know them your life will never be the same again – guaranteed.

     When you can stop arguments before they start… deflect confrontation with a word… get agreement whenever you want… that’s real persuasion power.

     With these skills you can do more good than harm.  In fact you can help more people be happier just being around you, as soon as you apply what I show you.

     Okay now it’s time to expose the manipulators.

     Be honest with me… has anyone ever said any of these things to you?

“You disgust me”

“You’re not listening to me”

“That’s just evil”

“Are you stupid or something?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“You’re wasteful”

“You’re an idiot”

 “You’re being judgmental”

“You’re anti-social”

“You’re lazy”

“You’re useless”

“That’s criminal”

“You’re just morbid”

“I don’t believe you just said that”

“You don’t care about me"
