    I'm not against it by any means and it's cool you're getting value from it. I'm sure it's quite the asset.

    One thing though, I have found hurts people rather than help,
    is to concentrate on all these ways of "getting over" on people
    instead of ways you can provide more value and help them.

    I don't think that's necessarily what you're talking about,
    but I want to caution aspiring entrepreneurs to pay attention
    to the "trust factor" and make sure you understand
    that trust is the most valuable currency in business today
    and worth far more in lifetime business and returns
    than any short-term victories.

    Okay, now that I sound like I just said, "You're grounded." LOL

      well the Main Title i guess is "Persuasion"
      and the sub title is "The Art of Influencing People"

      Empathy + Sincerity = Persuasion

      So the Book is Some were along the lines of What your are saying "trust Factor"

      the Synopsis goes

      "We all Know people who are incredibly persuasive. with effortless charm, they manage to somehow gain our trust, interst, and support, time and time again. Is it a gift they are born with? is it all an illusion?

      No its's the Art of Persuasion      "

      Great point here! There are many triggers that people are influenced by, and most of these are activated way down in the subconscious.

      I completely agree the key thing is you don't stray from the proverbial 'ethical line' and ensure you're always looking for a win/win for both parties.

    I haven't read that one but I suspect that just like "How To Win Friends and Influence People" the book is more than the title suggests. I can't see it having much mileage otherwise.

    Are you referring to Persuasion? If so, then yes it is a very interesting read.

    I gave a copy to one of my team back when I was a training and development manager, as she was struggling to connect with people in her new role. She loved it and it flicked a switch in her mind.
