The ONE Single Most Persuasive Word To Effortlessly Influence Someone Immediately...

MaskedMarketer · 09-08-2008, 09:13 AM

Researchers have tested and concluded their is a single most persuasive word when communicating with others and when selling to others. This single word can cause someone to change there mind in an instant, because you'll have a valid reason for your argument.

Using words like "Amazing", "Awesome", "Incredible", etc, make your persuasive argument look like a tired, hyped up, childish, sales letter, that can have your letter skipped over in a heart beat- and many amateur writers do this because they really don't know what they're doing.

Contrary to popular belief, many people agree, "You" or "Free" is the single most persuasive word that a writer or communicator can use at their disposal, and that could not be further from the truth.

Who knows the single most persuasive word?

I'll give you a hint- its within this content right here...

Now, who wants to be the first one to get this right?

Good answer.

Yes, because is the single most persuasive word. It is, because - after the word "because" should come some form of reasoning or logic. Don't remember the exact study, but "because" was the clear winner.

Because is a great word. Bencivenga called it the most powerful 7 letter word there is. It is the key to 'reason why' copy and you will find it in every piece I write. But...

Its not the most persuasive word. Direct mailers have known for years that the one word that demands attention is your own name.

Mark Brian · 09-10-2008, 12:23 PM

Any example of a stunning "because" line?

seodeveloping · 09-10-2008, 12:34 PM

Because, I said so!

Dave Ryan · 09-10-2008, 01:05 PM

The experiments the social-scientists have done dealing with that word are crazy...

Very powerful for any communication.

True your own name does demand the most attention, as many direct marketers know, but as far as persuading someone to buy something or to agree with you "because" is #1 as concluded by researchers and studies.

Just because you say my name doesn't mean I'll buy something, although you will get my attention.

Eric Engel · 09-10-2008, 01:12 PM

I think the old truth that people buy on emotion and justify with logic is applicable here.

"Because" is the justification.

Justin Mandel · 09-10-2008, 01:21 PM

"Because" is written about in Influence by Cialdini.

When used as part of the reasoning to get someone to do something the rates to make that action happen soared.

I here many great reviews about that book. I think I need a copy.

JeanneAlexander · 09-10-2008, 04:51 PM

I have and that research has proven time and time again that if you are making a request and want immediate action the word to use is
because

The Cialdini book, "Influence", made me mad. Not because it wasn't good, but because it was. I came to realize how many times in my life I had been manipulated.

Thats why its good to read about these persuasion techniques. Not only can you use them, but also protect yourself from these "manipulations".
