The Language of Seduction is the Most Powerful Form of Persuasion There Is | A Manifesto
When Selling Techniques found me writing about the far more persuasive Language of Seduction.
I believe the Language of Seduction is the most powerful form of persuasion there is.
Maybe I can persuade you to believe the same?
Let’s find out. ;-)
The Manifesto
I believe selling techniques are a total turn-off.
I developed of the Language of Seduction because selling techniques are the absolute worst. Like seriously, they’re literally repulsive. No one wants to perform or endure them, because they’re infamous for being some sorta weapon of manipulation. And, really, it makes sense that they do, because…
More times than not, that’s exactly how they’re used:
A salesperson, marketer, frenemy will decide they want something from you (i.e. money; support; whatever) and that they’re going to do whatever they have to do to get ir from you.
To increase their odds of success, they come up with a strategy—or, rather, a selling technique—designed to browbeat you into doing, buying, saying, or believing whatever it is they want you to do, buy, say, or believe.
They follow through with their selling technique, and it reeks of desperation: HEY! Check out what I have! Don’t you just love it what I have?! What I have is so crazy, sexy, cool!. You should totally buy into what I have here for you!
See what I mean? Selling techniques are the equipment used in the selfish game of sales that’s played by selfish people who will shamelessly sell anthrax to their Aunt Thrax if it means, in return, they’ll “earn” an extra buck.
And, if you ask me, behavior like that is a total turn-off. Hence why…
I decided a more compassionate approach to persuasion needed to be developed; an approach people would actually be attracted to as a result of the pleasurable experience it brings (spoiler alert: I’m referring to the Language of Seduction).
I believe the Language of Seduction is more than a language of persuasion; it’s a language of compassion.
But that’s not what most people imagine it to be when they first hear about it. They think…
A language that seduces people? Huh? Must be some sort of weapon of manipulation designed to weasel your way into someone’s pants or manipulate them into a state of mind where they’ll buy something they’d be better off living without. Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll stick with my native tongue: English.
And I get it! I understand why they’d think that: when performed by weasels, an act of seduction can be used for evil.
I, however, am not a weasel. I’m a good person. And I choose to speak the Language of Seduction throughout my efforts to serve the greater good.
And you should, too.
I believe the Language of Seduction is a total turn-on.
“Writing is seduction. Good talk is part of seduction. If not so, why do so many couples who start the evening at dinner wind up in bed?”
No one can resist a well-performed seduction. They’re far too pleasurable to pass up:
Out of nowhere, a well-intentioned seducer who has your best interests in mind enters your world implying they have something you want or desperately need.
They tease you with the pleasures it will provide if embraced and hint at how unsatisfying life will be if you choose to live without it.
Your emotions are pulled one way and then another, from excitement about its availability to fear of missing out. Back and forth your emotions are tugged, ultimately leaving you feeling intensely vulnerable.
Your seducer recognizes how badly you want what they have, then purposefully resist making it available to you. This drives you wild.
You want what your seducer has—nay, you need it. You can’t live without it! You decide you’ve been teased enough and, instead of hoping they’ll eventually offer it to you…
You just take it.
You make what’s theirs yours—at any cost. No questions asked; no CTAs needed; the Language of Seduction doesn’t need them.
Why?
Because the Language of Seduction promises pleasures no human being can resist:
I believe the Language of Seduction persuades people to embrace and enjoy a stronger sense of physical, psychological, and/or spiritual well-being.
By definition (my definition ;-) the Language of Seduction is this:
The Language of Seduction is a soft, subtle, indirect form of persuasion that influences a person to embrace a product, service, cause, or revolutionary idea (i.e. a solution) that will cease a struggle and, in turn, strengthen their physical, psychological, and/or spiritual well-being.
I believe the Language of Seduction’s definition for “seducer” is synonymous with the definition of “Savior”.
Gifting someone who’s struggling with a new source of strength is a pretty Savior-esque thing to do, right?
Of course it is!
So, the next time you read me write “Savior” in place of “seducer”, don’t go off thinking I’m getting all biblical on you and stuff, because I’m not. I’m simply calling those who are fluent in the Language of Seduction what they truly are:
Heroes—Rescuers—Saviors.
I believe a seducer must fully understand the makeup of the solution they offer and the unique conditions of the struggle the solution is designed to cease before performing the Language of Seduction.
If you don’t know a foreign language’s vocabulary you’re going to have a tough time speaking it, right? Of course you will. That’s why, before you attempt to speak the Language of Seduction, you must first understand the complete makeup of your offered solution and the specific details of the struggle it’s designed to cease:
Because those insights: they serve as the Language of Seduction’s vocabulary.
I believe a seducer must understand their target’s unique Influence-Type before they perform the Language of Seduction.
I know, I know…
What’s an “Influence-Type”?
Here, let me explain:
Actually, nevermind. I’m not gonna—not here, not now. I’m going to have to devote an entire blog post to this topic because the explanation is—how do you say it?—a bit involved.
So yeah, stay tuned. I’ll teach you all about Influence-Types in due time.
I believe anyone can be fluent in the Language of Seduction.
If you had to learn some sorta foreign vocabulary to speak the Language of Seduction, becoming fluent in it wouldn’t be easy for many. Fortunately, that’s not what you have to do here. Because, you see, this “Language” isn’t a language, per se, it’s a formula: a flexible formula, an approach to persuasion anyone can perform for any type of person under any set of circumstances.
It’s a superpower, really; one anyone can wield. Simply learn how to use it for good, not evil, and, yes, even you can become someone’s Savior.
I believe you can’t resist the urge to learn how to become fluent in the Language of Seduction.
Am I right or amirite?
Of course I’m rite!
I mean just think about it: there’s a Language/formula you can easily learn that will empower you with the ability to persuade anyone to embrace your product, service, cause, or revolutionary idea that will cease their struggle and, as a result, strengthen their physical, psychological, and/or spiritual well-being.
Who wouldn’t want to know how to do that?
So yeah, of course you can’t resist the urge to learn the Language of Seduction: because fluency will gift you with life’s greatest superpower:
The ability to lead others toward greater love for themselves.
HEADS-UP: This manifesto is nowhere near complete and will forever be a work-in-progress.
