7. Mirror people’s body language subtly and they’ll find you instantly more trustworthy without knowing why.

13. Use a person’s name in conversation. It activates their brain’s reward center instantly.

19. The door-in-the-face trick: Ask for something big first. When they say no, your real request seems totally reasonable.
20. If someone keeps interrupting you, stop mid-sentence and stare at them calmly. They’ll get the message.
21. People are more likely to comply when you give a reason, even a weak one. “Because” is a magic word.
22. Avoid “I think” and “I feel” in professional settings. It weakens your position. State things directly.

23. When you want someone to trust you, reveal a small vulnerability first. It signals safety, not weakness.
