The Power of a 4-Word 'Hack' for Instant Influence, According to Experts

According to influence expert Niro Sivanathan, keeping your explanations brief is a four-word "hack" that can make you more persuasive. The dilution effect suggests that adding too many points weakens your argument, as people remember the average persuasiveness of each point rather than your strongest one. Instead, focus on confidently presenting your key argument and avoid listing multiple weaker points. This strategy can be applied in various situations, such as job interviews, presentations, and debates. Additionally, using silence as a negotiation tool can lead to better outcomes, as it allows time for analysis and thoughtful responses.
