subliminal advert

[Mercury]

Hiya,

If I wanted to sell a product or my services better how could NLP help me...how would I entice more customers?

If I were to do a letter or a leaflet how would I do this so I got more interest?

Yes, this may be unethical but it happens all the time and at the end of the day it is business.

Hoping you all can help with insights..

Thank you

Mercury

mercury,

if you were take NLP training applied to sales from a highly skillfull trainer(which is not necessarily the same as a well known or popular NLP trainer), you would learn crossover methods of getting rapports nonverbally with people as well visual and tonal anchoring, and analogue marking which are arguably the most advanced and covert forms of nonverbally influencing prospects there are. now other people in this website might make a big deal about embedded commands and other "hypnotic language patterns" yet they won't elicit the degree of covert influence you seek.

some people will call eliciting criteria/values "advanced" but that's actually very basic stuff.

finally the text in letters and leaflets are very linear in nature,and the "most" influential NLP you're going to be able to use are metaprograms. hypnotic language patterns in text have such a minimal effect as far as influence goes that any effect is virtually nonexistent.

Well put Jim

Good points, Jim. I was trained in using what we called "magic sales words" before NLP was described.

However, one thing I've learned from NLP is that people tend to communicate in certain ways, the big three being visually, aurally, and kinesthetically. If your ad only appeals in one of those ways, you may lose a large percentage of those who do not primarily communicate in that mode. So one thing to do is include statements that appeal to all three of those major modes.

I agree with all Jim has highlighted and the above posts

NLP in Text is different to one to one interactions.

I work in sales, and I've written some articles applying

Rapport
VAK
Anchoring
Criterial Elicitation
Hypnotic words etc

You may find these will hlp with applying NLP to sales
