#182: Become a Master of Persuasion (Without Manipulation) – Dave Dee

Today's Man Alive podcast is focused on my favorite topic
-- the overlaps between sales and sex, business
and the bedroom! Our
guest, Dave Dee teaches people to get
more of what they want
by being persuasive, without
being manipulative. 

Dave went from being a struggling magician to an expert in
sales. He is the author of Sales
Stampede and has taught sales strategies to tens
of thousands of business owners. He helps us look at life
through the lens of sales. It  is powerful and surprising
to think about how you "sell" without realizing
it, in many of your conversations! Even if you don’t
sell services or products in your work, you are still often
"selling” your ideas and desires, both at work and at
home. 

When you engage with others about what you want, or what you
see as possible, you are "selling” as you attempt
to inspire, get buy
in and create agreements
that forward your goals! 

In today's episode, we discussed:


The difference
between persuasion and manipulation

How to lead with your
needs rather than repel someone with neediness

How to become more collaborative so you never
have to “close” a sale

The power of rapport and
understanding a client, or a lover’s, deeper
WHY 

How to apply selling skills with
integrity, in relationships and business
