    About this Episode

    As we get closer and closer (even though it's a long way away) to the 2016 presidential election, more and more persuasion blunders will be on display.  A recent article shows that politicians who have deeper voices (yes, even women) are perceived as more credible by voters.  Check out the article here.

    Due to listener feedback, Kurt and Steve realized that they didn't cover the Law of Expectations deeply enough on Episode 101.  On this Episode (103) they return with more ideas on how you can prime your clients expectations to make your selling go more smoothly.

    Episode 496 - What Is Your RIZZ (Charisma) Ranking? PART 3

    We live in a world where people are less trusting, more cynical, and full of skepticism.  Corporate loyalty is a thing of the past.  Belief in government has eroded away.  Everyone around us is confused, overwhelmed, and more difficult to influence and lead.  Now more than ever, charisma is a vital and critical life skill.

    The challenge is that some think they have the Rizz (charisma) but don’t.  Just because you can get somebody to do something doesn’t mean you are influential or charismatic.  We know there is a direct correlation between the manager/leader and the employee that dictates the amount of productivity.

    What is your RIZZ ranking?  Do you have it?  Can you improve it?  Can you deliver a presentation that inspires and influences?  Join me for this week’s podcast on What Is Your RIZZ (Charisma) Ranking?.  You will discover the secrets of charisma.

    The skill of charisma can propel you into leadership and success.  When someone is charismatic, they can connect, bond, and lead everyone and anyone.  Charisma allows you to be more efficient and effective.  Think about this.  It could be you if others aren’t responding to you or your influence.  Sure we like to say it is them, but when you do not influence others, are empowered by you, or even want to help you – it is you.  Remember:  When a sports team has a losing season or they don’t perform up to expectations, the coach gets fired.
