Avoiding Persuasion Pitfalls: Part 1
Introduction
Linguistics, surprisingly, is a fiercely debated field, described vividly by Russ Rymer as "soaked with the blood of poets, theologians, philosophers, philologists, psychologists, biologists, anthropologists, and neurologists." This paints a picture of passionate professors in heated debates. But what about language sparks such fervor?
Language can both unite and divide us. With this in mind, let’s explore how certain words can undermine persuasion, especially when dealing with affluent clients.
The Power of Language in Persuasion
Understanding the role of language in persuasion is crucial. Building rapport can be challenging, and the language we choose can either strengthen or weaken our influence. Here are some words to be cautious of:
Words to Avoid
1. But
The word 'but' negates everything that precedes it. For example, saying, "I'd love to buy your product, but..." signals a lost opportunity. To maintain a positive tone, replace 'but' with 'and.'
2. Try
'Try' implies a lack of commitment. Instead of saying, "I'll try to help," say, "I will help." This assures clients of your confidence and dedication.
3. If
Using 'if' suggests uncertainty. Instead of, "If you want to sign up," opt for a more decisive, "When you decide to sign up." This projects confidence and intention.
4. Might
Similar to 'try,' 'might' conveys indecision. Instead of saying, "I might be able to help," assert, "I can help." This strengthens your authority and reliability.
Conclusion
Avoiding these words helps in building stronger connections with clients, ensuring that your persuasion skills communicate certainty and trust. As you gain more experience, you’ll learn when exceptions to these rules might apply. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll delve deeper into enhancing your persuasive abilities.
