So, in this video I will do my best to show you everything I use. Hopefully it will motivate you to make your own 🙂 Continue reading How I Make YouTube Videos →

Decision Making Videos

2 Comments

Brain IdeasHere I finish going over how people go through the process of Decision Making. If you haven’t, watch the first Decision Making videos here. Each person makes each decision in very specific ways. If you understand how they make decisions you will find it very easy to negotiate and persuade them into believing what ever you would like.

To find out how they make decisions, you just need to ask them one question. If you then structure your negotiation in a way that is compatible with their way of making decisions you dramatically increase your persuasiveness.

In the videos here and in the previous article, I teach you the questions to ask and all of the many ways people make decisions. These are high level negotiation techniques and if you want to see them put into use in a more understandable way, check out my sales technique videos. (They are free also)

Decision Making

Leave a comment

Brain IdeasJohn wrote in and asked for more videos on Decision Making. To be specific, how we make decisions based off of psychological research.

When we experience anything in life we leave out a large portion of the information. We ignore and generalize because there is just too much information to take in. The information that we do store, makes up our own personal version of what happened during any point in the past.

Our version is always going to be flawed, because of all the information we deleted. We then make decisions using our own personal reasoning process. This is known as our Meta Program. In the following videos, I’ll show you how everyone makes decisions through the use of Meta Programming.
