The Key Points of the Lesson:
Start with Agreement: Always begin a conversation by agreeing with the other person, even if you don't actually agree. This sets a positive tone and helps avoid conflict.
Building Rapport: Agreeing helps build rapport and gets both parties on the same wavelength, making it easier to communicate effectively.
Handling Disagreements: If someone says something you disagree with, acknowledge their perspective first. Use phrases like "I hear you" or "I understand what you're saying."
Strategic Agreement: You can subtly show you don't fully agree by saying things like "I used to think the same way." This shows understanding without outright disagreement.
Avoiding Conflict: Starting from a place of disagreement can create conflict and make it hard to convince someone of your point.
Influence and Sales: In sales or any persuasive conversation, maintaining agreement helps keep the conversation productive and open.
Emotional Responses: Understand that sometimes people disagree out of emotion or principle. Keep the conversation going by agreeing and then providing more information.
Continuing the Dialogue: After agreeing, share more information to gradually guide the conversation towards a more reasonable understanding.
By keeping these points in mind, you can have more effective and persuasive conversations without creating unnecessary conflict.
