Episode #19 - New Year's resolutions

La culpa es de la vaca" ilustra la externalización de la culpa. Un investigador encuestó almacenes en Colombia sobre productos de cuero: precios altos y baja calidad. Los fabricantes culparon a las curtiembres por aranceles. Las curtiembres a los mataderos por mala calidad de cueros. Los mataderos a los ganaderos por poco uso de venenos y marcas en las reses. Los ganaderos a las vacas por restregarse en alambres. Conclusión: ¡las vacas son estúpidas! Esta historia, resumida por Fernando Cepeda en El Tiempo, se basa en investigación del libro "Changing the Mind of a Nation" (Harrison & Huntington), cap. de Michael Fairbanks. © 2002 Jaime Lopera G. y Martha Inés Bernal T.

Persuasion shouldn't be avoided. It's a good thing. Businesses need to be persuasive.  Whether it's securing a new client, rallying a team, or negotiating a deal, the ability to influence and inspire action is paramount. 

The good news? Persuasion isn't about manipulation. It's about understanding your audience and crafting messages that resonate with their needs and goals. Here's how to hone your persuasive communication skills:

Tailor your message to resonate with the specific interests and motivations of your audience. Research their background, challenges, and communication style. 

People care about how something improves their situation.  Instead of listing features, explain how your product or service solves a specific problem or fulfills a desired outcome. 

Back up your claims with credible statistics, case studies, and testimonials. Data adds weight to your arguments and builds trust. 

Weave compelling narratives that illustrate your points and connect with your audience on an emotional level. Stories are memorable and foster empathy. 

Persuasion is a two-way street. Pay close attention to your audience's concerns and questions. Address them directly and demonstrate your willingness to understand their perspective.

Avoid jargon and technical terms. Use strong verbs, active voice, and concise language to ensure your message is easily understood. 

Speak with conviction and enthusiasm. Projecting confidence makes your arguments more believable and inspires trust. 

Your body language and tone of voice play a significant role in persuasion. Make eye contact, maintain good posture, and speak with a clear, steady voice. 

Clearly articulate the action you desire from your audience. Do you want them to sign a contract, invest in a project, or simply consider your point of view?
