Persuasion in the 21st century

Most people associate the word persuasion with manipulation. The two key challenges today are: get people’s attention and create trust.

The link between persuasion and delayed gratification

Gratification is the process of satisfying yourself. Instant gratification is the need of having it now.

Think of how many opportunities there are for instant gratification in a conversation: you make a mistake, and I immediately jump to correct you.

Instead, the best is to delay gratification. Give instant gratification to others. The more you delay gratification, the more opportunity you have to have a lasting impact in people and the more persuasive you will be.

How we can apply delayed gratification in our daily life

  1. Break persuasion into a process. Avoid the urgency of persuading in the first conversation.
  2. Make it easy, in small steps.
  3. In the beginning, spend more time listening and getting to know the other person before speaking.
