Influence: 47 Forbidden Psychological Tactics You Can Use To Motivate, Influence and Persuade Your Prospect
MP3 CD Format Imagine knowing how the human mind works... having the power to influence and motivate people at will to buy your products and services... what would that be worth to you? As you listen to this audiobook, you will experience first-hand and quickly discover highly controversial persuasion secrets that will boggle your mind... and the mind of any prospect you target. I'll reveal 47 ways you can use psychological tactics to induce people to pull out their credit cards and buy from you - and, more importantly, how you can use these tactics to double, triple, or even quadruple your income. I uncovered many of these tactics as a result of my ability to sell my own products or services through the power of words. Over the years, I've learned which approaches work, which approaches fail, and -- here's the secret you won't get anywhere else -- WHY they work.

Recommended recently by an old friend I worked with in Sales 10 years ago. Dan's practicality regarding pitch and writing copy is amazing. One of my fave non fiction business authors of 2018!

Already knew a lot of the tactics gathered over years of working as a professional. However, I did pick up a few tidbits of information (see the bit about the number 7).
One should know that this is not a book on how to manipulate people. The title using the word "forbidden" is a great example of the type of material contained in this book.

This book is truly awesome and insightful for me and surely for every reader who wants to achieve their goals and become successful in a competitive marketing world like ours.
Dan Lok relishes advice that really works though forbidden because of their psychological programming, knowing the mind of every potential customer shows how an innovative approach to thinking can be beneficial, and helps in identifying that success is a process, not a goal, a journey not an overnight achievement. It is an invaluable book to avoid pitfalls and the risk of failure in making sales online for me. A practical book, full of examples and invaluable lessons on "Persuasion". Indeed, an excellent reference guide for everyone who is selling something or intends to, via online marketing services.
Thanks to the author for bringing his wealth of experience to play. I love reading this book and would gladly recommend it to anyone offering goods and services online.

A good psychology book covering the pillars of markerting that you can easily find in any blog/youtube online for free. The author is too boastful, and you can see that from the beginning, and considering the whole length of the book. A quick read recommended to download from libgen.io. Definitely not worth spending more than 10$ on this thing

I’m influenced
Mr Lok did a good job putting these tactics into simple and understandable terms. The book was full of great tactics to move you forward in sales and marketing.
Although, I wish the format would have been a normal kindle format, I imagine he published a pdf, sorry, just a minor complaint.

It was an interesting read. However, I often felt a little slimy, especially at the point where the subject was a little risky. He understands influence very well. I just hesitate to recommend this because of the low ethical standards he presents.

4.5 stars. I'm in love with Dan.

I don't know if his insights are taught at Harvard Business School. If not, his insights should be. Great information!
