The Sexiest Influencer of Them All
“If you’re good at something, never do it for free.”
— The Joker
The Dark Knight
In Sin City: A Dame to Kill For , the Villainous femme fatale Ava Lord uses an extremely potent principle that can make any Villain more persuasive, more respected, and more influential… while also granting you a peace of mind and sense of security most people will never know.
Here’s what happened:
Ava’s Mission was to have her wealthy husband killed, and frame her ex-lover Dwight for the deed, so she could get all her husband’s wealth. But to do so, she did not try to use money (she had lots of it). Nor did she try to use brute force (she had a driver who could have done that). Instead, she used a far more powerful force at her disposal.
And, that force was…
Specialization!
In her case, she used her sensuality and her sexuality.
Those were her Specializations that allowed her to persuade and influence everyone from her driver to beat up and protect her from her enemies, to getting her ex-lover to kill her husband, to even getting the cop assigned to her to break protocol and eventually kill his partner (and then himself) to help protect Ava and her secret.
That is the power of Specialization.
Everyone loves a specialist.
Everyone trusts a specialist.
And, everyone is susceptible to a specialist’s persuasive wiles.
This is true whether it’s a specialist who does great good (such as an oncologist who specializes in helping children suffering and dying from cancer) or whether it’s a specialist who does great evil (like the depraved rapist Dr. Larry Nassar who specialized in helping athletes for the USA Gymnastics team, and molested dozens of those patients at his office and gym…)
Frankly, Specialization is such a powerful tool of persuasion and influence…
It Works Even if You
Do Everything Else Wrong!
For example:
Many years ago, there was a video of an interview with a nerdy-looking guy who was a world champion (i.e. specialist) at a certain video game. This is a guy who dressed like a schlub, looked like a schlub, and lived the life of a video-game playing schlub. The kind of guy most women would not even glance at and would most likely laugh at. (Or just ignore and hope he doesn’t try to speak to them). I’m talking about someone who spends his entire life in front of a screen and is about as naturally charming as Beavis & Butthead.
Except, for when it came to his craft.
Most video game nerds display zero charisma, power, or confidence. And they are far more likely to mow a Villain’s lawn or fetch his lunch, than to be a Villain themselves. Yet, in this interview, this nerd… this specialist … not only had the body language, confidence, and swag of a Villain, but he had a beautiful girlfriend who clearly adored and respected him on his arm, too.
This simply doesn’t happen to video game nerds.
But it did to this one.
And the reason why is because…
He Is the Best in the World
At What He Does!
That’s the influential and persuasive power of Specialization.
