Influence is a part of everyday interactions, whether you're a stockbroker, salesperson, manager, employee, boss, or even a housemaid. We influence others to gain various benefits: we might perform well at work to earn a day off, show affection to receive love in return, or charm a salesperson to get a discount. We influence and are influenced in every interaction. So, how can we get people to do what we truly want them to do? Let's explore this.
Regardless of whether you're trying to influence a customer, a supervisor, a coworker, or a family member, the underlying process remains consistent, and certain conditions are necessary for achieving significant success. But first, consider why you want to influence others and whether your motives are grounded in respect, integrity, compassion, or noble intentions.
