I want you to learn how to get people to want to throw money at you, but remember you should only use these skills for good. Now I'm sure that at some point in time you had to sell something to someone. Maybe you had a job where you had to sell something to some customers, or maybe you had to sell yourself to a future employer or partner. Maybe it was even something as simple as selling your ideas to someone in a conversation. Whatever it was you were selling, I'm sure you would have loved to have had some secret Jedi mind trick to get you what you wanted. Keep reading to learn that mind trick.

The first thing you need to know about is the HOOK. The hook is your first impression, It's the first thing you see that sets the mood of what is to come. Whether this is the opening chapter of a book, the opening scene of a movie, or the first line of your steemit post this is the most important part as it determines whether or not people are even going to listen to you. Spend some time thinking about your hook.

The next thing you need to learn about is FRAMING. How you frame whatever it is that you're selling is a major part of what makes the sell. Now you don't want to spend too much time talking about features or statistics or other boring stuff like that that loses people's attention. What you want to do is to use emotion and imaginative descriptions to paint a picture showing the person how they will feel both with and without your product. To learn a bit more about this concept check out this video below with Hannibal the Magician. There's other great info in there too.

The third important thing is PROOF. Seeing is believing, and for most people info goes in one ear and right out the other. If, however, you can show someone how what you're selling is so great instead of just telling them how it is so great you will have a much large chance of sealing the deal.

Now, if you've been able to master all of the above tips the last thing to learn about is the PITCH. Your pitch is your call to action, It's what you want the person to do. What you need to do is keep this short and deliver it at the end of your presentation. When I say keep it short what I mean is that you only really want to have one call to action at a time, maybe occasionally two but that starts pushing it. Too many things to do and you lose the person to not wanting to do anything. So remember, have a good hook, use emotion and imaginative description to paint an emotional picture, prove what you're saying, and wrap it up with a good pitch.
