Description
How do you get your neighbour to stop mowing his lawn at 7am on a Sunday morning? What's the best way of gaining buy-in from your boss to a proposal? How do get your teenager to tidy up their room and keep it that way? How do you convince a colleague to help you when they are busy? Whether the persuasion or influence challenge is personal or professional, Get what you Want will give you more effective strategies for getting the outcome you want. The book starts by helping you understand the ways in which people influence you. Key themes that emerge, such as building rapport, having a logical argument, successful use of your voice and body language, are then explored by the authors, who provide practical, focused and easy-to-follow rules which will ensure your success in any environment. This engaging, practical book by bestselling authors Steve Bavister and Amanda Vickers will help you to harness your own powers of persuasion and influence and resist the persuasive powers of others!
