Welcome!
Shannon and I want to send out our heartfelt concern for all those
victims of Katrina and also to thank many of those who have given
their time, items and money toward the help of these victims.

including house hunting, ending jobs, changing schools, starting one
in college...etc. You get the picture I'm sure. But my family and I
are now in Texas...Yeehaw...college and schools have started so this
will be back to a monthly newsletter again! Thanks for everyone's
patience.
Diane,
Co-owner HPN

The
Art Of Persuasion: 7 Tips To Successfully Persuade Anyone
Copyright
2005 Priya Shah http://www.priyashah.com
The
saying 'No man is an island' is an undeniable truth. We need the
support
and cooperation of other people to help us in reaching our goals.
Successful
people know that one of the most important abilities to possess
is
the ability to persuade and influence others.
Here
are some hot tips to do this effectively.
1)
Enter Their World
Try
to put yourself in the other's shoes and understand the situation
from their
point
of view. Set aside your personal interests and concentrate on them.
Ask
yourself if you are them, what would you do? What would be your
opinion? Then take the appropriate action that would be beneficial to them.
2)
Mirror Their Body Language
People
feel comfortable with those who are like them. Copy the person you
are trying to create a connection with.
Observe
how they act, how they speak, and how they think. If they rub their
forehead while they think, act like them. If they speak at a clear
and slow pace, try to do the same thing. This is called mirroring.
In
due time, the people you're mirroring will subconsciously feel more
comfortable with you. It's as if they see themselves in you.
Proceed
with caution, however. Do not let them be aware that you are copying them.
They
might interpret it as mockery and you'll just get into trouble.
3)
Be Cheerful and Nice
Did
your mother tell you to be nice to people? She was right. People
like others who brighten up their day.
Make
a sincere compliment to raise their spirits. Little things like
these go a long way to breaking the ice and setting the relationship
off to a good start.
4)
Be Sincere and Trustworthy
Make
them feel that whenever they need help or just someone to look up
to, you'll
always
be there to lend a hand. People tend to be more receptive to those
they trust.
If
you have a boss or client you are trying to please, overdeliver and
exceed their
expectations.
Soon, they will notice your efforts and will be more than glad to
grant your request.
5)
Provide Them With Compelling Evidence
Explain
to them how your ideas or suggestions could be the most effective
techniques to implement.
Show
them undeniable proof that you have the best product by way of testimonials,
before
and after scenarios, and detailed comparisons against your competitors.
Just
make sure that all your claims are true and verifiable. Always
maintain a good
reputation.
6)
Show Them What's In It For Them
This
is the most important thing to remember when persuading anyone.
People are self-centered. They always put their own well-being before others.
No
matter how close you are to becoming like them or how overwhelming your
evidence
is, if it does not satisfy the "What's In It For Me?"
test, your persuasion efforts will not produce satisfactory results.
If
you can prove that your proposal will provide more advantageous
benefits to them
than
to you, they are more likely to accept it.
7)
Genuinely Care For Them
Focus
more on their interests, desires, needs, and expectations, so you
can satisfy their craving for attention, and establish mutual trust
and respect.
It
also shows that you really care about them and that will make them
more likely to trust you and want to work with you.
