How to
Use Language to Influence People by Bill Twyford
My name is Bill Twyford. Ive been in the business for little
over eight years, and Ive done almost 850 transactions. Im
very, very assertive. My specialty is communicationtalking
to homeowners and talking to banks.
So lets start with some embedded commands. Embedded commands
are patterns of language that bypass conscious reasoning and speak
directly to the subconscious mind. Embedded commands influence people
at the subconscious level. This allows you to direct people to take
specific actions.
They will also have specific thoughts and will generally do whatever
it is you want them to do. The subconscious is in a constant search
for patterns. One command is not a pattern. You have to bombard
your customer with command after command after command.
Your brain is always analyzing whats going on around you.
Its trying to find similar things from your past and trying
to line them up. The subconscious mind has stored millions and millions
of conversations with other human beings. These conversations have
become so routine, that the mind has virtually fallen asleep.
Your subconscious mind runs on auto pilot. Its accustomed
to remembering or responding to stuff day after day. Remember, the
older you get, the more you think, **auto pilot heard this before.**
When using embedded commands correctly, you create unusual patterns
of language that force the subconscious mind to wake up and pay
attention.
Well.. what's the result? The subconscious has received a direct
and specific command that it feels compelled to act on. What does
this mean to you? Let me explain.
When you are in a normal, everyday conversation with investors,
banks, and customers, you can influence them to sell this house,
sign the deed, sign the contract, accept this offer, or whatever
it is else you want them to do with absolutely no resistance.
How Is There No Resistance?
Remember embedded commands bypass conscious reasoning and speak
directly to the subconscious level. Now, they simply begin to get
it in their minds that they should do whatever it is you want them
to do. Embedded commands are one to four word groups that order
you to do something, and they make sense on their own.
Commands are like time bombs. When you use a command, you dont
instantly see a reaction. When you say a command, you plant it in
the subconscious mind, and it begins to grow into an action. Commands
only work in massive quantities. Remember, the subconscious is looking
for patterns. And one or two commands are not a pattern.
Examples of Powerful Embedded Commands
Lets look at a few of these sentences that I wrote down. The first
thing I say to homeowners when I get to their house is: ?Usually
my customers *do as I say*. Shall we *begin*?? Now, what?s funny
is to see their reaction to that. They always, 100% of the time
say "Okay!" and start working with you.
Now, as youre walking from the front door, to the kitchen
table, or into the living room, in their minds theyre thinking:
"Did he just say I had to do what he said?" Its
very, very powerful language patterns.
Another one: If you dont practice this daily, you will bumble
and stumble when it comes time for your presentation. Dont
you agree? If you dont (down-swing) *practice this daily*,
you will bumble and stumble when it comes time for your presentation.
(down swing) Dont you agree??
Now, we didnt say: (up-swing) Dont you agree?
We said, (down-swing) Dont you agree... We pulled down
on the agree. It sounds more commanding. Youre
basically telling them what the answer is: Yes, you do agree.
*Practice this daily* is the embedded command.
Lets look at another one: "You should work with me,
so I can help you get what you want." *Work with me* is the
command.
Another one: You must take notes while Im speaking.
You will learn so much more. Shall we do that now?? *Take notes*
is the embedded command.
Another one: You can begin to relax now that you are here.
*Relax* is the embedded command.
Another one: You need to think deeply about what youre
saying. *Think deeply* is the embedded command.
And the last one: I dont know when youll (pause)
feel motivated. I dont know when youll (pause) feel
motivated. (pause) You have to (pause) trust your feelings (pause)
and make that decision.?
Now lets put begin in there. Lets put a
presupposition in there. I dont know when youll ?begin?
to (pause) feel motivated. (pause) You have to (pause) trust your
feelings and (pause) make that decision.?
Use Powerful Language Patterns and Assumptions
Now, can you see how much stronger these language patterns are
than what youre using? A lot of people, when they do short
sales, call up the bank and say Do you do short sales?
Dont ever do thatever.
Heres how you handle it. Hi my name is Bob. Ive
done a short sale package on 123 Elm St. Heres the loan #.
Can you pull the file up quick?
And theyll pull up the file. Where do I need to fax
my short sale package, so you can go ahead and get this approved??
Now, hear the assumptions in there? Where do I need to fax
my short sale package? Its not, Do you do short sales? Now,
Im assuming their going to approve it. Okay? Hear the language
patterns here? This step, guys and gals, is so incredibly important.
I have a program called Secrets of Closing the Deal. Its
an NLP program, and its exactly what were talking about
here. Lets look at another one: Unless you feel motivated,
youll never decide to work with me, which means youll
never get out of your situation, and thats not what you want.
Is it??
Hear how demanding that sounds and how assumptive that sounds?
Let me tell you something; analogical marking is four things, in
embedded commands:
Pausing before the embedded command
Going louder on the embedded command
Down-swinging on the embedded command
Pausing after the embedded command
So lets read it again: Unless you *feel motivated*,
you will never decide to *work with me*, which means youll
never get out of your situation, and thats not what you want.
Is it??
Unless you *(down-swing) feel motivated*, youll never
decide to *(down-swing) work with me*, which means youll *(down-swing)
never* get out of your situation, and thats not what you (down-swing)
want. (down-swing) Is it??
See how much stronger that is? What I want you to do is get strong
with your language patterns, and get strong with how you talk to
homeowners and banks and how you talk to other investors. Remember,
great sales people assume everything. Perception is reality. If
they think you have power, you do. If they think youre an
imposter, theyre correct.
Do the Homework, Get the Edge
Start writing down some of these embedded commands.
Now, you know whats funny? Only 10% of you are going to do
this. You know what? This is work. However, that 10% will out-produce
the other 90% guaranteed. Let me give you some embedded commands.
Sign the contract
Trust me
Accept this offer
Work with me
Sell this house
Decide now
Act now
Do what I say
Do as I say
Feel motivated
Get excited
Take action
Agree with me
Convince yourself
Believe me
Extend the agreement
Come to my office
Sign this now
Listen to me
Accept less
Take notes
There are all kinds of them. My Negotiate Like a Pro
System is full of over a hundred of them. Now, write these sentences
down that youve created. Get them down to where you know exactly
how to say them. When you figure out exactly how to say them, you
can figure out how your customer is reacting to them.
I want you to say those sentences fifty times a day as fast as
you can. When the customer says something, you know how to react
to it. When the homeowner says, You know what? Why should I deed
my house to you?? Bam! You have the answer for it. You have something
so much stronger in your arsenal. I hope you have learned something.
Bill Twyford has been buying foreclosures for almost a decade.
In his first year as an investor, he sold eighty properties. The
money was ten times better than any commission he had earned, so
he made the switch from agent to investor, and his career took off.
To date he has sold well over 850 properties.
Bill is so successful because he has learned the art of communication.
The difference between earning good money and great money is the
way you speak. Learning Neuro Linguistic Programming, NLP, will
change your life, too.
