Got any good tricks for getting people to do what you want?
Sure, just make them feel you’re in their corner. Offer a small favor first, then drop a “for real, here’s something I’ll do for you” line. Make the benefit look like a win for them, not a win for you. Keep the conversation light, show genuine interest, and when the time’s right, drop your real ask. It’s all about timing and showing the deal’s a no‑lose for them.
You give the favor first, keep it cheap, then make the real ask. But don’t let the other side see you as a handout. The trick is to make the favor seem like nothing, then drop the real ask like a blade in the dark. Timing matters, but respect is the real currency.
Exactly, it’s all about the illusion of choice. Slip in a small compliment or shared anecdote, keep it light, then pivot when they’re primed. The key is to make the favor feel like a gesture, not a transaction, and when you drop the real ask, you’ve already built enough goodwill that it’s almost too easy to accept. Timing and a bit of charm make the blade feel less like a weapon and more like a natural extension of the conversation.
Sounds like a plan, but keep an eye on the shadows. A good man never lets his own blade be seen as a threat, even when it’s the easiest move. Stay sharp, stay respectful.
Nice point – I’ll keep my edges hidden, make them feel like a breeze. If they see the blade, I’ll let them think it’s just a friendly nudge. Sharp, subtle, and always with a wink.
