METHOD 1: MAINTAINING YOUR APPEARANCE


1. DRESS SHARPLY
Generally speaking, this means wearing clean, crisp, well-fit items of clothing that are coordinated so
that colors and patterns complement each other. This shows that you like yourself well enough to
mind your appearance, are responsible enough to maintain it, and are confident enough not to hide
it.
2. MAINTAIN HYGIENE
At handshake distance and closer, the difference between poor hygiene and proper hygiene
becomes readily apparent. If you want to connect with people, you're going to need to get that
close, so it pays to keep your body as clean and well-maintained as you keep your clothes.
3. MAINTAIN POSSESSIONS
More specifically speaking, your home and your vehicle (if you have one) are the two most
important things you should be keeping up. You never know when you'll have unexpected guests, or
who'll see your bike or car as you're getting into or out of it. Besides, keeping your surroundings neat
helps you to feel good about your life.
4. CONTROL BODY LANGUAGE
Body language is complex and very context sensitive: the same motion or posture can have different
meanings based on who exhibits it, where, and when. Rather than trying to read everyone else's
body language, try to make yours easy for them to read instead. Control what you can control and
disregard everything else.
Move boldly and without hesitation. Mind your posture. Use your face to your advantage.
5. STAY ACTIVE
Even an unhealthy body gets an aura of health around it when the owner of that body makes a
sustained effort to reinvigorate it. Exercise as regularly as you can, and eat modestly. If you have
trouble setting any kind of a schedule, remember that any effort is still better than no effort at all.
Even just a few minutes of exercise after you wake up or come home from work will help you
maintain your posture, control your body language, and Have more energy

METHOD 2: WINNING HEARTS AND MINDS


A. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
1. Be outgoing
Smile. People are drawn to a friendly smile. It makes you seem approachable and trustworthy.
Ask questions. Engage other people in conversations. Show an interest in them and they will become
more open and responsive. Another way to start a conversation is simply asking for a pencil or
helping them with something they seem to be struggling with.
Plan activities. Take the initiative and organize a group trip, for example, hiking or to a concert. This
will help you make them friends and show them that you like them and include them.
2. Demonstrate interest in others.
In order to make a good impression, you need to show an active interest in the person you're talking
to. Listen to what they are saying. A good listener learns a lot about people.Ask stimulating
questions about the other person's interests and opinions.
Respond to their questions with a sense of the topic. For example, if it is an upsetting conversation
about sickness, don't tell a joke. Responding correctly will generate a sense of trust and create a
bond between you
3. Address people by name.
People are more likely to respond when they hear their name, as the use of their name makes your
message more personal to them.By remembering to use someone's name, you will seem like an
interesting person who pays close attention to details. It is the same as remembering their birthday,
so take notice in what they have to say about themselves.
4. Be an active participant in discussions.
Building a relationship with someone is a two way street. It's about response and trust. You
shouldn't use a conversation as a vehicle for forcing your ideas and opinions on others, without
letting anybody else get a word in edgewise. Equally, you shouldn't check out of a conversation
either, nobody wants to feel like they're talking to themselves.
5. Talk about the interests of others.
Encouraging someone to talk about the things they are passionate about is another great way to
demonstrate an interest in others. It is also one of the best ways to get to know someone, a vital
component in building a relationship. Even the shyest person will open up if you get them going on a
topic they love.
6. Respect the opinions of others.
It is important to always respect other people's opinions, even during a disagreement. You do not
need to agree with the other person, but you should allow them to express their opinions and

beliefs without contradicting or belittling them. Relationships are built on trust and mutual respect,
so it is important to recognize and accept your differences.
B. ESTABLISHING A GOOD REPUTATION
1. Admit your mistakes first and foremost.
If you are wrong, be sure to admit it quickly and emphatically. The quick way to generate animosity
is by failure to admit your mistakes when you are obviously at fault. So if you want to build
credibility and respect, be sure that you are quick to admit your errors as soon as you realize them.
People will admire your honesty and honesty inspires trust.
2. Point out mistakes in a helpful, indirect way. If it is necessary to point out someone else's
mistakes, make sure to do it in a constructive, positive way. The last thing you want to do is make
another person feel small or stupid. If you are humble and matter-of-fact with your correction, you
will find that your comments are more likely to be heard and taken to heart
3. Establish your expertise.
If you have extensive knowledge on a given topic, it is worthwhile making this fact known, especially
if that knowledge could potentially be used to help someone else. Don't brag about your knowledge
or talk about it endlessly. This will make you seem like a know-it-all and will discourage people from
asking you about for help. Make your expertise known and let people know you are happy to help, if
needed
4. Live a clean life worth looking up to.
If you want to influence people, it is important that you live the kind of life that people can respect
and look up to. You need to live life to the full and be the best person you can be.
5. Demonstrate a willingness to learn.
Although having firm opinions and beliefs is an admirable trait, it is also important to keep an open
mind and to be willing to try new things and learn from your experiences.
Strive to broaden your horizons. Engage in stimulating and thought-provoking discussions, read
books and newspapers, travel as much as possible.
Be a yes person. If somebody offers to teach or show you something new, take them up on it.
C. ACTIVELY GUIDE OTHERS ACTIONS
1. Take a friendly approach.
Always begin in a friendly manner if you are trying to influence others to your way of thinking. Avoid
being bossy or demanding. Start by asking questions that they will quickly say yes to, in order to get
cooperation
2. Sympathize with opposing beliefs.

Try to understand where the other person is coming from. Ask yourself, what motivates them to do
certain things? Again, it's about reciprocity; if you respect others' beliefs, they will appreciate you
and your beliefs as well. By sympathizing with beliefs that you disagree with, you can help establish
an air of open-mindedness which will help increase your influence.
3. Plead a noble case.
People are more likely to change their behaviors, if the change will benefit society as a whole, rather
than just you
4. Avoid giving orders.
This makes the other person feel like you don't respect them or care about their input and might
lead them to deliberately ignore or do the opposite of what you want. Instead, ask questions or
make subtle suggestions.
5. Praise others. Praise is the best motivator for behavior, so be generous with your praise.
However, dont give praise just to give it, this will come off as being insincere. It means more to the
recipient if its about something they recognize as praiseworthy.
6. Make others feel as though the idea belongs to them. This is very important to influence others
to your way of thinking. People can be critical of others' ideas, but if it's their idea, they will be much
more in favour of it.
7. Let others save face.
Helping others to save face is a good way of building trust. By saving them from an embarrassing
situation, the other person will feel grateful towards you and might even feel like they owe you a
favour. You can help others save face by:
Pretending that nothing happened. If somebody trips or calls someone by the wrong name, you can
avoid causing them embarrassment by pretending you didn't notice.
Help to deflect attention away from the person after an embarrassing occurrence. For example, if
somebody says something they're not supposed to or accidentally causes offense, you can help by
quickly changing the subject.
