Chapter Three: The Body Language of Manipulation

Manipulation is about persuading people to do what you want them to, which involves plenty of people influencing skills. Non-verbal communication comprises expressions, gestures, posture, walk, leg movements, voice, tone, etc. and is responsible for a major part of the communication process.

According to research conducted by Dr. Albert Mehrabian, only 7 percent of our communication happens through words. About 55 percent of the entire communication happens through body language and 38 percent through our voice. Now you can imagine why people insist that you meet them in person (and not over the phone) when they want to share something important with you. Body language and voice makes up a huge chunk of the communication process, which means manipulators need to master these elements to convince or persuade people to do what they want.

The manner in which you convey certain concepts, thoughts, emotions, facts, and feelings is going to influence other people's decisions. Communication skills are important when it comes to influencing people to do what you desire or take the required action. Hone your manipulation skills by mastering powerful communication techniques to come across as more persuasive, inspiring and influential.

Here are some secret tips to use when making non-verbal communication skills, including body language and voice for manipulating people into doing what you want them to do.

1.Let the other person talk first to establish a baseline.

When you are attempting to get someone to take a specific action (for instance: purchase from you), allow them to talk first. This way you get a chance to set a baseline for their behavior and detect their weaknesses that you can play on later. The personality or behavior baseline will give you a clear idea about thoughts, actions, motivators, needs, feelings, and behavior to help you determine their strengths, weaknesses, and goals. I'd say, go one step ahead and create a questionnaire to get the answers you are looking for.

2. Listen to people.

Manipulators must not just be excellent speakers. They must also be exceptional listeners. Practice active listening to know exactly what a person wants. It’ll also give you a clear idea of a person’s personality, needs, and wants. Listening to a person arms you with the power to come up with an appropriate response to what they are saying. For example, a prospective buyer or client may not need to purchase from you currently or may be considering purchasing from a competitor, and by not listening to them you are missing out on important bits of information.

If you miss this important information, you will not be able to handle their objections effectively. Since you haven’t heard about their reference to a competitor, you won’t be able to do a comparative analysis later to establish how your product is superior over a competitor’s.

To make yourself more likable and accessible to people, acknowledge what people are saying by nodding or saying “hmms” or imitating their expression. You can also paraphrase what the person said to ensure you’ve heard it right.
