Funny but Brilliant Example of Hypnotic Persuasion Tools

By NLP Case Studies, NLP Products 10 Comments 29th August 2012

Since we have been talking about framing I have been looking for a really good example of the power framing. The video you are about to see is very funny but also a really powerful demonstration of how far you can take this NLP Persuasion tool.

 Hypnotic Frames a powerful persuasion tool

The last few articles have been about the power of pre-frames in a conversation. I wanted to give you examples of how you can use these ideas to create powerful new realities for people as much as just gently nudge them in a particular direction.

Over the last few days you will have seen how I have used framing in articles, emails, and conversations but I have been looking for other extreme versions of frames. The other day I was reminded of an old You Tube clip being a perfect example. Luckily I have managed to find it for you.

The Curse of the Telemarketer

The telemarketer in this call obviously had an expectation or a range of options as to how the call should go. Notice how easy the conversation was to derail and the bizarre directions it took just by overlaying a whole new set of preframes.

    This is great, Rintu. I’ve seen it before, but great to hear it again.

    One of the things I’ve really learned about arguments and discussions is how easy it is for someone to steal the agenda by asking questions.

    One of my responses these days to hostile questioning – especially in “conflict” situations – is to answer a question with a question that resets the frame of the discussion away from the questioner. Why? Because as soon as the other person starts to answer, they are having the agenda set for them rather than setting the agenda for you.

    It’s an old adage that the best form of defence is attack. By asking a question outside of the frame they have already been set, you cause the other person to defend, once again putting you back in the driving seat.

    These comments aren’t exactly about persuasion, but they are about ensuring that you don’t have the wind taken out of your sails by someone else’s hostility – which may sometimes happen in negotiations with several people at once.

    Once again, thanks for this. Very funny.

      Hi Matt,
      I almost completely agree with what you are saying. The thing I would add is that I think it is all about persuasion. In your example you are deflecting so that you can gain / regain control of the conversation.

      One of my favourite ploys in a traditional adversarial situation is to ask questions to presuppose being on the same side. For example in this call the telemarketer might try something like,

      “You have a murder to investigate and that has to be a big burden on you, what do I have to say to you for you to eliminate me from your enquiry right now and allow you to continue investigating the crime?”

      It obviously wouldn’t work because of what we know of the real frames round the conversation… but hopefully it highlights the possibility I am suggesting.

      Lots of good ideas here, thanks for sharing.

      Cheers

      Oh Dear I think we may be creating a monster here. Although I think if we get enough call centre wind ups going I might be create a how to survive in a call centre product.

    Hi Rintu,

    A fantastic and hilarious example of taking the power away from the cold caller with a frame switch. I enjoyed my discussion about frames with you at last weekend’s seminar and I find the whole subject of frames fascinating. I’m going to learn and use more of this stuff. Thanks for posting it.

    Rintu,

    Yes, I did lol and when I started lmao I knew I was having a good time. The Telemarketer video was way too funny—again, glad I wasn’t trying to drink something.

    But to the point, I wonder if it is possible to become the kind of person to be able to just roll that kind of stuff out of your mouth. Clearly I have spent my life in a mind set that is too restrictive. I am a creative being and I should make use of that ability. Having fun—very important.

    Thank you for sharing,
    Daniel

      Hi Daniel,
      What many people don’t realise is that creativity rarely happens in a vacuum. Whilst this wasn’t scripted the guy have major elements of this already plotted out in his head before the call came. When you get to looking at Conversation Management you will see how easy it is to direct a conversation to where you want it to go, and as a result move the conversation to your set pieces. When you get really good at it you just roll stuff out just as you are thinking.

      Cheers
