Conversational Hypnosis With The Milton Model – Compound Suggestions
These Patterns are Fantastic, It’s Good To Learn New Things
The Milton Model is widely recognized as the most comprehensive set of language patterns that you can use in your daily conversations for powerful influence and persuasion.
Today’s pattern is called “Compound Suggestions.” It’s a great way to “sneak” a suggestion past the conscious critic of your listener, so that automatically take it as true without question.
The way to construct it is to make a statement, either by itself or set up with one or more other language patterns, and then follow it up with a statement that is going to be automatically perceived as true.
These true statements can be general truths, specific truths about the listener that you’ve already verified, or tag questions.
While the listener is unconsciously, (or consciously) pondering the first suggestion, you quickly make the second, obviously true statement. The truth of the second statement will bleed over to the first statement and will make it much easier for the listener to accept as true.
Some examples.
Exercise is the best way to lose weight, and staying healthy is important.
Here, “exercise is the best way to lose weight,” is the persuasive message, while “staying healthy is important,” is the general truth.
Dollar cost averaging is the best way to make money in the stock market, and having enough money is very important.
So the persuasive idea is “dollar cost averaging is the best way to make money in the stock market,” and “having enough money is important,” is the generally true statement.
To make this even more powerful, you can dress up your persuasive statements with as many other language patterns as you like, just so long as you finish your statement with something that is true.
