29. Now that you know about the
9 Rules Of Effective Persuasion,
we’ll go on to Part II.

30. This 4 Step Formula earned a
company $18,400 in their first
presentation! Obviously they were
looking forward to doing more ….

31. Persuasive Presentation Planning
1. CreateLiking&Relevance
2. ElaborateTheCustomer’sHeartache
3. DefineTheBenefits
4. RevealTheSolution

32. Create Liking & Relevance
• People will listen to those that they
like and those who like them.
• Give a genuine compliment
• Explain why what you have to say
will impact them personally or
professionally.

33. Using compliments to create Liking
• “Thank you for coming on time! You
are very punctual Troopers! (Genuine)
• It’s mypleasure tospeak toyou
today” (You like them, they’ll like you)

34. Relevance establishes the “WIIFM”
“Today’s Death Star presentation will
help you understand how you can
better control planets in your sector
without any messy troop deployments
or need to blow up farms.”

35. Speak of upto 3 problems & their
specific consequences.
“As Stormtroopers, we have 3 big
problems yet noone cares!
1. We can’t see in these helmets and get
injured when Rebels attack us!
2. White armour? Rebels see usfroma
mile away and easily evade us. We
spend extra hours looking for them!
3. Noshields inour Tie Fighters? We get
blown up inone shot!

36. Elaborate the Customer’s Heartache
• If there is no pain, people ARE NOT
motivated to listen to your
solutions.
• Establish the problem that you
want to solve by talking about it.
• Always assume that your
customers don’t fully understand
what’s missing in their lives.

37. Define the Benefits
• When people understand how
solving the problems would directly
benefit them. They would be more
keen to accept a solution.
• However. Most
people are skeptical
if a Hutt tells them
how good his stuff is.

38. To use a 3rd party approach to explain.
• “Whatiftherewasawhywecouldsee
better? Itwouldmeanwecandefend
ourselves andevendefeatthose pesky
Rebels!
• “Whatifwecouldcamouflageourarmor?It
wouldmeanthattheRebelswouldn’tspot
useasilyandwecangetthem!
• “Imagineifwehad
shields,therewillbemore
pilotsatthepoker table
forustofleece!”

39. After Step 3, your customers are
already in love with you. And they are
already convinced of what you have!
Ihaveyounow!

40. Only after you established value, can
you reveal what you have in Step 4.
Otherwise it’s like telling the punch
line of the joke at the beginning.

41. 15% of time to establish Liking & Relevance
35% of time to establish the Problem
30% of time to establish the Benefit
20% about the Solution

42. Now that you know about
The 9 Rules and 4 Steps To
Effective Persuasion.
Go change your world!
