"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Something that works for you and you know it works.
I'm thinking of buying a book that is call How to persuade people is based on NLP. Maybe you guys have something beter and free.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yeah, don't go cheap on things that can dramatically improve your income (working in sales or not). Books like this need to be re-read and marked, treated as workbooks.

Actually, I like Cialdini too, although he's not a salesman I think everyone should own a copy of Influence, for all sorts of reasons.

Tom Hopkins does a complete bible for sales, although somewhat boring.

I have a number of NLP based books such as Persuasion Engineering, but I wouldn't recommend it to you.

Some of the best, most engrossing reads are some of the oldies, you can probably get them from old book stores. Big League Salesmanship and Compelling Selling are the real deal.

Another book everyone should own, especially budding DJs is Get anyone to do anything, it's in the same vien as Cialdin's works and has useful research information.
