Are you using NLP in your marketing?

Hi Warriors,

As a long time NLPer I've had many discussions with fellow warriors about NLP over the years and seen many people use it in lots of contexts.

It seems that a lot of people get introduced to it from a sales perspective and get the idea that it's "something you use on people" and some sort of manipulation technique like hypnosis. I personally find that perspective a little sickening but like many things in marketing, there are always people looking to sell you a version of something that appears like a magic bullet to making money and they'll use whatever ammunition unsuspecting buyers will go for.

I've been noticing that particularly in the 'offline' niche (I hate to call it that but you know what I mean) that there are clearly a lot of people struggling because they don't have an appreciation of NLP and how it could help them and their teams.

But I have no interest in spending my time trying to help people who don't want help and also I don't want to introduce NLP as some make money strategy for them either.

So I thought the first step would be to ask fellow warriors - are you using NLP, where and how do you use it and what elements of it would you like to know more about.

I've been an NLPer for about 15 years now and have studied most people's different approaches and uses and am keen to share some insights with warriors, but only if there's enough of the right type of interest.

I'm in the UK and I go to offline NLP practice groups and see a lot of people starting to look how to apply it online as well as in their own life and their businesses but I still feel like IMers generally don't seem to have got into it much.

I know a few IMers who understand it and use it and a few fellow warriors, so I know it's not completely being ignored but I also see a lot of people struggling in ways they don't need to.

If you use NLP in your IM - I'd be really interested (and I'm sure other warriors would) in where and how you use it.

If you'd like to understand a bit more about NLP - let me know and if you think there's an application of it in part of your business and would like people to give you suggestions - let us know.

I'm sure there's a lot of knowledge hidden in our members here that could help a lot of people.

p.s I'm not selling anything - there isn't a wso waiting or anything like that for those skeptics who have alarm bells in their head when people start a thread about a particular subject.
