Ever found yourself thinking something, "Hmm, that sounds like an awesome offer! I'm practically buying dollars at a discount. Gimme NOW!"
Yeah. You got played.

What about "Whoa! They're closing access to this thing in two days!"
Hint: 99.999999% of the time, they won't.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, "if I buy these shoes, that kid in Micronesia will get a pair too! I love helping people out!"
Yeah, you ARE helping someone outβthe people selling the shoes.
I mean, I get it; the kid in Micronesia might get a pair of shoes.
Butβ¦

That's an appeal to ALTRUISM.
And it's super effective. You see it everywhere now.

The next one's a tad tricky, and it ties into FOMO.
If you ever find yourself thinking this one, consider yourself being skillfully manipulated.
"My competitors already use this, and they're killing it! If I don't buy this RIGHT NOWβ¦
β¦THEY WIN."
Can you guess which?

Caught yourself with a thought like this one?
"I need to buy this because I'll look smart, and all the ladies will swoon over me!"
Someone's appealing to your PRIDE.
And your SEX DRIVE.
Not to mention your wallet.
The reverse is also true, btw.

Whenever you feel these emotions, HOLD UP.
Don't hit BUY just yet.
Gather your thoughts.
Step away.

Look out for these words: "P.S. "

What would you say if I told you there's a way to close deals without the need to manipulate people?
Without feeling nervous, anxious, or sleazy?
Without pressure?
While remaining in complete control of the sales interaction and even having fun while you're at it?

The mindset.
The strategies.
While providing real-time actionable feedback to participants.

We call it "Pathfinder Selling: A 2-Day Workshop on Assertive Persuasion."
