To Influence:
Praise and appreciate, ask questions instead of giving a direct order, give the other person a reputation to live up to, and make the other person happy about doing what you suggest.

Darlene Did you get anything valuable from this? My husband is listening to this in the car right now on his commute.


Arminius Darlene, I forgot someone was reading my reviews else I would have expanded LOL. I updated my review.

Darlene I ALWAYS read and enjoy your reviews! This is interesting.. is it sincere though? Otherwise, it sounds like a political strategy. Or is that the point? Obviously, these things appeal to a person's ego but it kind of seems like manipulation to me.


Arminius I guess you can play it either way. And thank you, Darlene.
