AUTHOR: Peter Anthony TITLE: My daughter's sales technique DATE: 6/16/2006 ----- BODY:

This is Belle, my daughter; she’s just four years old. She knows how to get what she wants. She is very comfortable with the complete range of influencing skills - from demanding more hot water in the bath to cuddling affection wanting more chips with her fish and chips. So how is it that we unlearn so many of these skills? Sure we need to add subtlety but surely as we mature we learn how not to ask for what we want. Asking for what we want may not work every time, but it's more likely to work than not asking for what you want.
