- Pay attention to body language- where the feet point, where the eyes are looking, positioning of the arms. It can be very telling of their mood.
- People try to hand you things when selling or advertising because the act of physical reception makes you more likely to pay attention/donate/buy.
- Car salesmen and the like will often offer drinks or snacks or something when opening the interactions. Receiving them makes you more likely to buy. Lots of sales positions rely psychological manipulation.
- When on the phone, the person who first hangs up has the upper hand during the next conversation, be it in person or on the phone.
- Eye contact and silence carry a lot of weight. Becoming fluent in either can impact your presence among others.
- The touching of arms, hands, or shoulders is a 'power move', used to assert dominance. This is why the man in the suit will often put his hand around the other's back while reprimanding or commending him.
- The upper-left portion of a photograph is the position of priority- given our habit of reading left to right, that is where our eyes are drawn first. Politicians will often vie for this position when photographs are being taken.
- Others will come to you if you make a slight motion with your fingers and eyes, similar to a dog. Continued use of this in the proper circumstances will lead to them often looking to you. This is known as behavioral conditioning.
- When entering a crowded room filled with people you don't know, glance in a direction and give a smile and head nod, as if acknowledging someone. Anyone watching will assume you know someone, and you can use the 'momentum' from the imaginary to move directly into engaging someone real.
- When in an unfamiliar situation, physically rearranging something can give a sense of control. The act of exerting power over something, even if it's just the book on the coffeetable, can iprove your confidence.
- Misdirection is incredible. Even a glance towards something behind someone or off to the side is enough to let you slip away.
- Confidence is more incredible. It is possible to bypass confrontation with a brazen display of fearlessness. Sounds stupid, but it's known as 'bluffing', and is ingrained in us.
- You can use vague references to get in close with people you don't know. 'Hey man, weren't you at (X)?" Whether true or not, it can lead to more conversation.
- When you have something that you need to do but keep putting off, force yourself to do it for 5 minutes, with the option of quitting afterwards. By then you will usually have reengaged your brain from 'procrastinate' into 'production', and can do your thing.
