Would your professional and personal life reach higher levels of success, faster, if you knew exactly what to say to positively persuade others? Influence is the secret sauce you need to lead, sell and market on an entirely new level.
Mentalist Gilan Gork is deconstructing influence in our weekly business column to give you powerful and practical techniques to use immediately in your business. Influence is the key to getting the buy-in, agreement and support you need to create rapid break-through success. Gilan, who grew up in Sandton, Johannesburg, has presented on the topic of influence for Fortune 500 companies in almost 30 countries across the globe. He’s also the best-selling author of the book, Persuasion Games. Most recently, Gilan presented on the Nato global stage in Latvia on ‘Unleashing your Influence’, alongside some of the world’s leading neuroscientist and psychologists.
His work seeks to demonstrate how, through unique psychology and communication, you can rapidly increase your levels of trust, credibility and support with others to create ultimate influence.
“In life, you have good ideas. However, the ability to influence other people to buy into your ideas is often more important than the idea itself.” He added that whether you are working in sales, or as a leader who must influence a team, your effectiveness is directly proportional to your ability to influence.
Gilan is now bringing his expertise to you in a weekly influence series, exclusive to Fourways Review and Sandton Chronicle.
