Mind Games: How People REALLY Think

Purpose:
You only THINK you know why people do what they do. Research has shown that there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to how people make decisions. Everyone is in the business of people. Employers, salesmen, marketing professionals, healthcare providers, EVERYONE is in the business of reading the wants and needs of other people. They must influence others to accept recommendations, buy products and services, pay bills and, sometimes, just show up.

Mind Games
is a keynote presentation on understanding the decision making processes of OTHERS. It will reveal how emotions and logic interplay with values to know what people REALLY want and REALLY need then creating a strategy to affect those decisions in your favor. It will lay the groundwork for every human contact in a very entertaining and infor­mative way.

Benefits:
This program is about PEOPLE. Participants will learn how the mind works based upon the most recent research on human motivation, mind-mapping, brain architecture, and logic:
  • Understanding Superficial and Subliminal "Assumptive Bedrocks"
  • Formulation of "Value Maps" of prospects
  • Recognizing the use of "Somatic Markers" as it relates to preference selection
  • Eliminate wasted effort and increase success of sales and persuasion

The presentation is practical, useable and down-to-earth. And, frankly, down-right funny. People are NOT all the same and are NOT going to react to similar stimuli equally. We also know that sometimes the prospect is only going to be motivated after understanding their "lexicon of communication." But one should not assume that the prospect is in command of their own reasoning process. They often want to be sold and persuaded but cannot allow it unless and until their VALUES are understood and the benefits and objections revealed through past interactions (somatic markers) are evaluated.

The Presenter:
