A Powerful Sales Closing Technique-myths About Hypnosis
Hollywood images are the source of many of today's myths
. Nowhere is this more evident than in hypnosis.
It's unfortunate that much of what people associate with hypnosis and mind control is based on inaccuracies. There are many myths about hypnosis that need to be dispelled to uncover the truth of how it can be applied as a sales closing technique.
Myth One: Hypnosis is an Unnatural Occurrence and has no Place in Sales.
Hypnosis is a very natural state for the mind to enter into. This is true whether it's self hypnosis or someone hypnotizing you. Your mind can be in this state many times, daily.
There are forms of self hypnosis that happen as you pray and become focused on your inner thoughts. Your mind becomes clear and the rest of the world can fade away during these times.
Hypnosis can also happen with the influence of something or someone else. One example of this natural state are the televisions at the grocery store checkouts that hypnotize you into making purchases that you do not necessarily wish to make. Hypnosis and sales are a natural combination.
So it is not unnatural to use hypnosis as a closing technique to assure more sales.
Myth Number Two: Hypnosis is Dangerous and Shouldn't be Used in Sales
Hypnosis is safe, whether it's used in sales or otherwise. There is no injury to one's mind from being placed into a hypnotic trance.
Most people believe that it is impossible to force someone to do something that is completely out of their character with hypnosis. This is important to bear in mind when using hypnosis as a closing technique.
It's important to realize that with any type of mind control for sales it's important for this to be used ethically.
There is no need to implant negative thoughts into another's mind with hypnosis, and in sales this certainly is not the desired outcome of a closing technique.
Myth Number Three: People Lose their Consciousness Under the Influence of Hypnosis.
Hypnosis causes an individual to be under a hypnotic trance. Most subjects remain aware of their surroundings while they are under the influence of hypnosis. This means that they do not lose their consciousness when they are hypnotized.
These are a few hypnosis myths that are repeated so often that many people begin to believe that them as fact.
Real knowledge can be powerful, allowing you to use hypnosis in sales for successful results. It can mean your closing technique works every time.
Few people in sales really know about and understand hypnosis. Now that you know the difference between truth and myth, take advantage and develop a closing technique that will leave the competition scratching their heads!
