1. Trying To Be Too Nice (And Looking Like A Wuss)
Covert persuasion is about being in control. Your intention is to control his mind to get him to listen to you.
Being nice is generally a good way a rapport going. But being too nice is definitely not NICE!
Why? You are seen as a wimp. A wussy even. It’s like you are bending over to others.
You don’t want to create that image. Because you can lose your “attractiveness”.
Don’t be nice to an extent that hinders your capability communicate your thoughts and feelings.
And also when you are too nice – you may appear as insincere. Everyone hates a faker!
