How to Influence Choices
Overview
Choice often feels like a personal decision, but it's possible to guide others into believing they're making independent choices. Techniques from NLP, hypnosis, and persuasion can create the illusion of choice, which can be advantageous in sales, business, and marketing.
Techniques to Guide Decisions
In NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the concept is simple: one option means no choice. Two options create a dilemma, while three give the illusion of free choice. Double binds are effective tools here. They present options that, though different in wording, lead to the same outcome beneficial to you.
Creating Effective Double Binds
1. Crafting Choices: Make sure that all presented options ultimately benefit you. For example, consider offering differently framed choices where all paths lead to the same result.
2. Covering Decision Points: Prepare for the possibility that someone might choose an option outside your designed paths. Each decision point should offer attractive and well-presented alternatives.
3. Enhancing Complexity: Layer double binds within one another to deepen the illusion of choice. Sub-choices can branch out but still lead back to your desired outcome.
Example of Implementation
Consider a scenario involving dinner plans. You might say:
- "You can stay home and watch TV (a), eat alone (b), or do chores instead of hanging out with me (c)."
- "Or we could go out tonight (d), tomorrow at 7 (e), or even on Saturday (f)."
- "We could have dinner (g), maybe go dancing (h), or spend time at the beach (i)."
Each of these choices is designed to lead to the same conclusion: spending time together. The less appealing options (a to c) make the desirable ones more attractive.
Responding to Objections
If the original plan doesn't work, present another set of options:
- "We could order food and enjoy karaoke, or watch a movie instead. My place or yours? 7 or 8?"
These alternatives maintain the desired outcome: a date, cleverly framed as if the person is making the choice.
Conclusion
Using these techniques can subtly guide others to make choices that align with your goals, all while making them feel empowered in their decision-making process.
