By: Michael V. Pantalon

What could be better than getting anyone to do anything in seven minutes…or less? Finally, a revolutionary new approach, scientifically proven to create instant, effective, and lasting change in anyone—coworkers, friends, family, strangers, even yourself. Use Instant Influence to:

• Motivate your employees to become more productive
• Encourage your clients to use more of your products and services
• Even get your kids to do their homework—without being nagged

With six simple questions, motivational specialist Dr. Michael V. Pantalon teaches you how to plant the seeds for change, help others discover their own powerful reasons for change, identify effective “change talk”, make an action plan, and create successful outcomes, even with people who are resistant to change.

Based on the only motivational approach scientifically proven to succeed in more than 100 clinical trials, Instant Influence is used nationwide in corporations, hospitals, court systems, universities, therapists’ offices, and elsewhere. From coping with a recalcitrant employee to resolving a long-standing problem with your spouse, Instant Influence can help you create the lasting results you want while improving the relationships you have.

Critic reviews

“Fantastic. I keep a close eye on new business books; this one stands out for its sheer usefulness.” (Douglas Stone, co-author of Difficult Conversations)

Chapter order totally messed up, still a good listen

This book had a lot of great content on influence, and getting to a person’s intrinsic motivations. The chapters are completely out of order though, starting with the final chapter first.

Good basic influence technique

The author makes influence simple. 6 basic questions to ask someone to influence them and keep going back to it. I think the technique is simple and repeatable.

Results

This was the missing link for me in connecting with people I care about through their point of view. Helping them get what they want when they are not getting it done on their own. Results.

Extremely useful in a day-to-day vasos.

A simple method to make people think about their motives to go ahead.
For those whose objective is to get things done is a mandatory reading.

life changing

this was so so good for personal & business. 5 stars. This will help you help others.
