I cannot tell you how quickly I have closed business and garnered the respect of clients who come in. I noticed it steadily increasing over the months and it’s just been a snowball rolling downhill from here.
The only reason I posted this is because of the “Eureka!” moment I had today. It was more on a client that was being difficult and would not take any advice that I gave them even though the other option did not make sense at all to them. They are and always have been that stubborn time and it’s like pulling teeth when it comes to them. It’s not in so much as the pheromone or what I said but it was the state of mind that I was in when I said it. At the brink of giving up and just saying “fuck it” a lightbulb turned on and I said to myself “why are you still talking, you’re the expert, and you know you are and you know this is the best for them, stop dilly dallying” and in a couple of well worded words I uttered “This is what is best for you, and that’s what we’re going to do” (This was like a farther that made his decision and you knew he was 100% correct and you didn’t protest because you know he was right) stopped, kept my eye contact and two seconds later, BAM! done and done.
I’ve experienced the self effects of A314 before, but this was like me breaking into a new plateau of “consciousness” into the A314 world.
Added respectability for shattering the stubbornness of a New Yorker. I’d love to test this out in the workplace for purely work-related experiments. Unfortunately my line of work was on-campus tutoring and I’m stranded in the desert of summer unemployment. But then again.. I do have A314! Application time.
