Among the various successful sales techniques used daily, conversational hypnosis is definitely one of the most interesting. Exactly what is “conversational hypnosis”? And, how can it be used to significantly boost sales for your business?

What is conversational hypnosis? Conversational hypnosis, often referred to as covert hypnosis, is actually a communication style. Some people use conversational hypnosis without knowing that they are using it. People use the communication style for various reasons, but it’s well known as a way that successful sales executives communicate with their clients. By purposely applying conversational hypnosis, the salesperson is able to project their message in a way that encourages the client to agree and cooperate.

Developing somewhat of a relationship with the client is pertinent when using conversational hypnosis. A salesperson can begin the relationship by initiating a conversation that is sure to create a connection with the client. The salesperson chooses something that he obviously has in common with the client, or something that is universal. Once the client can identify with you, move on to using persuasive words and body language that can influence the client’s actions.

Did you know you can relate a message to another person without uttering a word? Conversational hypnosis employs actions and body language, as well as words. For an example, if you’re speaking to a person and want them to notice a picture on the wall, you can simply look at the picture, and most likely the other person will also look over at the picture too. You haven’t said a word, but with slight actions you’ve been successful in getting the person to do exactly what you wanted them to do. Utilizing this type of technique can be beneficial for sales executives.

Another successful method used in conversational hypnosis, that does require the use of words, is known as reverse psychology. With reverse psychology, the speaker asks the other person not to think about something or not to do something. As you know from your own experience, this, of course, makes the person think about what the other person said not to think about! The person has successfully used reverse psychology to get you to think about what he really wanted you to think about. This can be a very effective sales tool.

A salesperson may choose to simply plant a thought directly in the mind of the customer, by making an outright positive statement about his product: “Your floor would really shine with just one fast and easy application of this superior wax.” The customer begins to consider what the salesman has said and begins to think favorably about the product. The customer has been influenced by the salesman’s words and is now leaning toward purchasing the wax that could easily provide him with a shiny floor.

Can you think of times when you’ve been susceptible to conversational hypnosis? Perhaps your son or daughter has unknowingly used conversational hypnosis techniques to persuade you to buy them a new video game, or new clothes. At other times you may have been susceptible to conversational hypnosis methods used by TV advertising, ads on the internet, or when speaking to telemarketers on the phone.

One thing that can’t be overlooked about conversational hypnosis is the role it plays in the increase of sales. Many sales executives have proven it is an effective method for convincing customers to see things from the salesman perspective, rather than their initial perspective. Once the technique is mastered so it is undetectable to the customer, conversational hypnosis will help you seal more sales for you and your company.

In recent years, we hear more and more about the Law of Attraction. At any given time, you can find articles, audio and visual programs and seminars, literally around the world on the subject of the law of attraction. However, a majority of people, who have tried to gain mastery of this law, have not met with outstanding success. Most are curious as to what stops their progress.

There seems to be no end to the articles, audio and visual programs and seminars that deal with the law of attraction. Yet most people do not experience the success they had hoped for. They naturally wonder what stands in their way.

Every person has a creative essence, which manifest itself as consciousness. It is your divine spark, if you will. However, it is your level of awareness that controls your ability to communicate and rely on this source for support and guidance.

We find the operation of law of attraction to be dual in nature. On the physical level your thoughts create emotions which you recognized by their physical correspondence, feelings. As all vibrations do, these feelings represent vibrations occurring at a certain frequency.

A closer investigation of the Law of Attraction reveals that it operates on both a physical and non physical level. In terms of the physical, your thoughts excite your emotions which create your physical feeling. These feeling are physical responses to emotions vibrating at a certain frequency.

When your feelings reach a certain frequency they cause you to take certain action in the physical world. Your actions produce certain physical results. At the same time, the thought image that you create also seeks expression energetically and attracts to it and is attracted to similar ideas and thoughts.

These thoughts have influence on the world around you and you find yourself attracted to the things that will help you realize the expression of your thoughts. They literally begin to jump out at you.

The clearer the image you create the more intense the thoughts surrounding that thought image, the more pronounced the response from the universal mind. Emotions act as a catalyst to help bring about the expression of your thought image.

My experience with individuals who have reported a less than favorable result using the law of attraction centers on several key issues. The first issue is the tendency of their thoughts. Their thoughts vacillate between wanting one thing one moment and something else the next. By doing so, they are constantly moving their center of focus.

To get the most from the law of attraction here are a few simple guidelines that will definitely help you get the best results. First, be clear in your thought image. Give some thought as to what you want and what makes it important for you to have this. Condense your thought image into its simplest and clearest form.

Use positive phrases to describe your goal. Most people can tell me what they don t want, but not what they do want. Express your desire in terms of what you do want.

Your language will ultimately describe the tendency of your thoughts so pay attention to the words that you use. They are a key to what you are really thinking.

Repeat your visualization process on a daily basis. You must create the habit of possessing this goal for it to become a reality for you. In between visualizations, use affirmations to help tune you to your desire. Finally, believe. Believing is the link from conceiving to achieving.

Dr. Joe Vitale a Law of Attraction expert and featured personality in “The Secret”, is the president of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc. He has written several books including, “The Attractor Factor, 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or Anything Else) from the Inside Out”, “Life’s Missing Instruction Manual: The Guidebook You Should Have Been Given at Birth”, and “Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More”.

Equally successful as his books, Joe has also produced a number-one bestselling audio program, “The Power of Outrageous Marketing”. He is, in fact, the world’s first hypnotic marketer, so it’s no surprise he has made millions of dollars, and in the process made millionaires and improved the lives of people all over the world.

Joe Vitale has known since childhood that he wanted to be a writer. His inspiration came from meeting the writer of the “Twilight Zone” series, Rod Serling. In his mind, Joe assumed this phenomenal writer must be a god-like creature, so it was a bit of a disappointment to him to find out Serling was only human. If Serling could write so well, he knew he could, too.

People ask Joe Vitale quite often why he is so successful. His answer is always the same. It’s his drive and enthusiasm. No matter whether his interest at the time is a person, place, or thing, he’ll follow it to the end. He never knows where the end will land him, but he follows his heart anyway.

One of the pursuits Joe chased early in his career was to learn as much as possible about a man named Bruce Barton who was the founder of BBDO. After two long years of research, Joe wrote “The Seven Lost Secrets of Success”. The book has been such a success that it has been reprinted approximately 20 times. He followed his passion down the road it led him, not knowing at the time it would end in a successful book.

Rarely do people follow their passions and instantly make money doing it. Most people have to struggle. Most people have ups and downs. Joe Vitale is no exception. There were times when he was homeless. There were times when he had to get a meaningless job just to be able to feed his wife and himself, but he never gave up his dream of writing.

The key to coming out of your moneyless rut is to figure out what’s holding you back. For Joe, it was an inward struggle. No one in his family was a writer (or a reader, for that matter). No one understood his drive for the printed word. He left his family and traveled 2,000 miles away to regain his self worth and overcome his issues with poverty.

Although not in poverty anymore, Joe still struggled with the income glass ceiling. Why couldn’t he have unlimited income? Each of us has an unconscious reason to figure out for ourselves. Joe’s was the guilt of making more money than his father made. When he overcame that battle, he was finally able to achieve the wealth he wanted.

Nothing gets blasted more in the self-improvement industry than ‘Positive Thinking’. The cynical among us are quick to point out that just believing in something doesn’t make it true, and even the most optimistic optimist will concede that they don’t always take Positive Action based on their thinking.

Positive thinking doesn’t always work because thinking positively might only be going on on the surface while deeper negative beliefs persist. Just one deep-seated negative belief is enough to stop you from taking the right kind of action.

The important thing isn’t the Positive Thinking, it’s the Positive Action that it brings about. But when you need to start taking positive action, Positive Thinking often fails.

The opportunity to take the right action will expose your negative beliefs. Taking action forces you to confront all those negative beliefs and battle against them in order to get things done. Positive thinking is effective when it outweighs the negative thinking or when the negative thinking has been gotten rid of.

If you manage to focus completely on the goals you set it is possible to persevere through your negative beliefs. But this requires a lot of effort, because taking action in this way conflicts with your negative thoughts and brings up negative feelings. Taking action towards your goals feels bad in stead of good as you would expect.

As per usual, Emotional Freedom Technique makes it a lot easier. You take action, then observe any negative feelings that come up, tap them away until taking action feels more comfortable. The feelings and thoughts you had weren’t coming from the reality of your situation, just your interpretation filtered through those negative beliefs.

When you take the time to identify all the negative thoughts and feelings that conflict with your Positive Thinking, and Tap them away, holding onto the positive worldview becomes effortless, and taking Positive Action - the real key to success in anything - becomes automatic.

Since the fairer gender has made its mark on all walks of life, young ladies are making their way into the prized male business world and are scaling the ladder of corporate success. Whether intentional or unintended, discrimination against females is still found in the workplace. Therefore, women require special training that teaches them to cope with the huge challenges they face while on their way to the top. Mental coaching is a vital part of this training.

Females have to work with the discriminatory outlooks of male counterparts. Managers haven’t shown very much sensitivity in their work either. Thus, females need to learn about overlooking such biased views in the workspace. They have to fight their own battles, which they need to prepare themselves for with mental coaching.

Mental coaching can be useful for developing immense self-confidence that will help most females to be successful in their lives. This will aid them in winning many of their personal battles throughout life. To develop confidence, women will need to think about all of their all of their varying abilities they possess.

Even in the western world girls have traditionally been restricted to certain roles on the pretext that their gender makes them unsuitable to pursue certain activities or hobbies or unfit for some jobs. Everybody is aware that this argument is a hollow one. But it seems that the fairer gender, due to living in the shadow of this thinking has forgotten its self esteem. Special coaching is required to redeem this.

Mind training can benefit anyone, but due to the different roles women play, coaching takes a special importance. Do you remember when you were younger how your mother would prepare breakfast and assist you and your father to school and work? There’s a good chance your mother was rushed to prepare herself to head to her own workplace afterwards. The burden of these simultaneous multiple roles can take a toll on their peace of mind after awhile. Coaching is necessary for them to retain their peace of mind and cheerfulness.

A woman needs to fight for her rights. Undergoing special mental coaching is a small but important step toward that goal. For a man, you should become in tuned with the special needs of the women in your life whether it is your wife, mother, daughter, or sister. Give them encouragements to take mental coaching and be a winner.

The purpose of mental coaching is to develop immense self-confidence that will propel the fairer gender into more zealous battles for success. Once they have developed such confidence in their own abilities, half the battle would have already been won. To develop confidence, girls need to be exposed to the breadth of their abilities. Females have been pigeonholed into certain roles. Living in the shadow of this thinking for so long, the female gender has lost its self-esteem. To redeem it, they need coaching. Everyone can benefit from mind training. However, such coaching assumes special importance for women because they often have to don different roles together.

Professional coaching is gaining great momentum. Studies have documented that executive coaching helps propel major improvements in businesses. Enterprise organizations as well as smaller companies have incorporated executive coaching into their programs and seen increased revenues and profits. Companies have seen major success from the benefits of coaching, and have received much attention in world markets.

Professionals that are promoted within an organization generally have good decision making abilities. The improvement of decision making skills is not something that can be done quickly, but rather requires years of work and guidance in order to reach the level of a successful manager. There are many executives today that are enrolling in programs of executive coaching.

It goes without saying that business executive coaches are hot commodities. Software developers are particularly fond of conducting learning sessions for their staffs. These sessions are essentially mentoring programs for senior managers, designed to make them more efficient. These programs have proven to be wildly successful. Most are of the opinion that executive coaches only have utility for major corporations.

However, executive coaching is actual beneficial to all types of businesses from large to small. What is the purpose of an executive coach? They are there to try and comprehend the weaknesses in professionals, and once they have learned them work on fixing them. This is done through motivating the professional, and teaching the importance of things such as will-power and confidence.

Professional skills are not the only factors in determining whether a company succeeds or not. Self-confidence is a factor that should not be underestimated, and the confidence necessary for good decision making does not come from books or software programs. There are no substitutes for really good executive coaches who have experience and know-how to offer.

The process of leaning is a continuing cycle. A management degree even from the most famous institution is not enough to ensure success. Savvy entrepreneurs know to look for assistance from good business coaches. Any good CEO knows that coaching can really make a difference. The business work is highly competitive, and the fields of finance and mortgage are among the most complex. Anyone wishing to succeed in this environment should follow what world-class champions do–get trained by experts.

Companies are utilizing executive coaching to increase profits, to aide in sound business practices, and to help the individual with professional skills. These executive coaches have the experience to provide their knowledge and know how to other professionals lacking these skills. They mentor individuals and impart their many years of knowledge. Even entrepreneurs can gain a lot from these coaches and CEOs are aware of the value of a good coach in today’s corporate environment. Let’s not forget the smaller firms; they derive a lot of benefit from this as well by providing motivation and support.

There are many living examples in the business world to substantiate this fact. What advantages can you think of for hiring coaches for managers and business executives?

A business coach does more than pat you on the back when you succeed. He also teaches you to learn from the mistakes of the past. Failure is integral to life, and we can not succeed without learning from our past mistakes. However, it is all too easy to become demoralized and frustrated by failure. When frustration sets in, we need the help of someone who can motivate us and get us back on track.

A business professional should not dread employing a business coach for fear of condemnation. Coaches will make participants address their weaknesses, but will do so through constructive criticism to bolster professional development. Business professionals are advised to undertake a reputable business development course to improve their performance. Successful business owners have attributed their success to the guidance provided by a trained coach in such a program.
