The report discusses the art of persuasion as applied to social-change organizations, but the best practices discussed are applicable to other areas. My (successful) approach to living, working, and relationships is pretty much characterized by the principle of empowerment. I don't hard sell. I guide people to make their own decisions by (selectively) providing them the information they need to make those decisions.
For example, one of my recent female prospects had a boyfriend for quite awhile. They were consistently professing their love to each other. One would have thought they were inseparable. What did I do? I reshaped her view of their relationship. I demonstrated my value by showing her that among her options I was the superior choice. The process was somewhat lengthy, extending over a month or so, but when they broke up, their separation appeared to be natural.
What essentially happened was that I planted a seed at the start of my relationship with her. This seed influenced her behavior by providing an excuse to conjure reasons that she should be with someone else. This behavior encouraged a change in attitude toward her boyfriend which he noticed. While she couldn't muscle the strength to initiate the break-up, he ended their relationship because of all those problems that the seed created. I'm at the point where I can now move in for the kill, but I think I'll wait a little longer to let the dust settle. I wager that in the next few weeks I can secure a relationship with her.
For your information, what I've outlined above is the basics of my standard approach, which employs the principles of the Master Don Juan that I described in my article What Makes DJs Different. If you haven't read the article, I highly recommend you do so. The feedback I've received has been overwhelmingly positive.
