Greed Corrupts The Art of Persuasion Through Sales Forces

By David Drake

You possibly think that The Art of Persuasion has a lot to do with making sales, and you're correct to recognize that nothing could be further from the truth. The Art of Persuasion is not about teaching selfish and dishonest sales teams to cheat people into spending more money than they were originally willing to spend. This is why so many NLP trainers are immoral, because they socially condition sales forces to be selfish.

The Art of Persuasion is about authority, power, and equipping one with the capacity to see to it that they are treated reasonably. So, if anything, The Art of Persuasion should protect people from greedy sales forces instead of creating more greedy salespeople. I recently read some "garbage information" about how a car salesman was a timeless example of a talented persuasion specialist. Wrong!

A car salesman is a typical example of a deceitful person who will do everything in his power to make more money-even if this means lying to you in several ways in order to make higher commissions. In fact, the dishonestly and pathetic corruption of sales forces is so well known that each person who has ever purchased something has been pressured and tormented by their materialism. Even telemarketing companies are having their workforce taught in the title of "persuasion" to pester you more successfully when they bother you by calling you up on the telephone to make an effort to sell you products that you don't need and that you don't want.

The real Art of Persuasion has been lost because its truth has been altered by NLP trainers and master practitioners who make it their goal to give rise to trickery in every storeroom, car dealership, or shopping mall who will pay attention to them by making claims to increase sales margins by as high as 300% sometimes. But what most people are not aware of is that The Art of Persuasion exists on a much higher level than a car dealership. The Art of Persuasion is one's talent to direct social exchanges in such a way that they be able to make alliances with strong social structures in order to keep under control the social environments that they happen to be in.

The Art of Persuasion was designed to give people power and respect. It was never intended to transform hardworking people into deceptive sales machines who behave like licensed con artists. There is a substantial difference among a persuasion artist and a con artist. - 31955
