Hard for me to believe the big day is finally here…but it is. The official release of my new book, Adversaries into Allies: Win People Over Without Manipulation or Coercion.
So, what’s it really about?
Every day your success, peace of mind, and perhaps even happiness depends upon dealing successfully with other people. This could include obtaining satisfaction from an unhelpful customer service rep, closing the most lucrative sale of your career with the big but elusive client. Or, perhaps something as mundane as getting your spouse to take out the trash.
Whether selling your product or service or communicating an idea you believe in; whether for business, family, social or many other reasons, you need to influence people every single day.
Thus (and, this is key)…
Your Ability To Influence Directly Determines Your Ability To Succeed
Now, you can learn a tried-and-true framework for building alliances at work, at home, and anywhere else you seek to win people over.
You can indeed obtain personal satisfaction when dealing with others, and in a way that creates both immediate and long-term, sustainable results.
And, you can feel GREAT about it!!
Why?
Because, when done correctly, you are helping people to make decisions that are not only in your best interest, but in alignment with their best interests as well.
That’s the way to go.
Doing this effectively, consistently, and predictably, however, takes influence.
What Is It About Those Who Do This Well?
The great influencers — whether CEOs, entrepreneurs, sales professionals, clergy, parents, teachers, etc. — seem to have a knack for getting the results they want, but in a way that everyone is happy. And, these leaders are persuasive in the most positive and benevolent sense of the word.
And, while, for some it might come naturally, for most of us it’s a learned skill set. Fortunately, they are simple to learn and easy to apply.
Let me share with you my 5 Key Principles of Ultimate Influence that will help you live a life that’s a lot more fun, a lot less stressful and a lot more financially profitable.
The technical skills of any profession are vitally important. Without them, you’re not even in the game. However, even with them, you’re only in the game. Those who have mastered the people skills obtained through the 5 Key Principles of Ultimate Influence are nine steps ahead in the game…in a ten-step game.
Among the many skills you’ll learn in Adversaries into Allies…
- How to positively persuade others with class and grace.
- How to say “no” both graciously and effectively.
- How to negotiate better prices on what you buy.
- How to reset your personal “default setting” if it currently isn’t serving you. (Remember this one – it’s a life-changer!)
- How to win others to your way of thinking even in intense situations.
- How to know when someone is trying to manipulate you.
- How to gently but effectively collect money that is owed you.
- How to quickly disarm a person who verbally attacks you.
- 2 words that will separate you from everyone else and 3 words that will endear you to them.
You’ll also learn…
- The 8 key words to immediately move someone to your side of an issue. (It’s amazing how effectively this works — the results of this one technique will pay for this book many times over for the rest of your life.)
And much, much more!
If you cannot influence others to take the appropriate action, it’s difficult to be as successful as you potentially can be.
Let me provide you with the tools that will help you reach your full success potential.

Perhaps some of us have “heard” this before. We may even have taught some of these principles with friends, family or clients. However, to succinctly distill such a broad base of wisdom into a single book is like discovering a well of cool water to a delirious man in the desert.
I simply love this book!
Honestly, I’m only on chapter 3 right now and I’m going back to write down some notes and share my review.
Buy it.
