sellception

hhahahaa

Yip.super rich from selling blah blah.. gosh I dislike this guy so much.

So important, for people like me who were born with a complete inability to relate to others (on the spectrum). I watch this stuff in awe. People are blessed with the ability to do this out of the womb. The rest of us need to take goddam courses to learn how to integrate into society -- which is fine. Humans do this beautiful dance, that I never would have noticed, if it were not for being born without knowledge of the steps

😂 oh no!

Genius comment!

Yes! most people can sell something that they love and are passionate about, the people that can fake that about something they have no love/passion for have the key to sell anything!

Truer words...

🤣

@Pontius Pilate was? You mean IS? Lol

He is not a seller, he is a builder.

Huge intellect.

He’s good at selling a a product he doesn’t even use himself. He’s simply good at making you believe the content of his programs work…

i mean he is a motivational speaker and ive got a bit of distaste for them, but he's teaching facts. I'm not saying you can't get there on your own, but some people need a push that he provides. How to Win Friends is an excellent book on this topic.

Tho not exactly like this, thank goodness, he does still teach the method in some of his seminars. Lately ... and I do hope he gets another comeupence for it ... he advertises events, shows up for an hour or two most days, and then invites all his friends with programs and products to do presentations. Is a shame so many people are sheep, looking for someone to follow and tell them what to do, w/o stopping to think for themselves.

@@knolls9499 he was there for 14 hours the two days he showed up at the 2022 event.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Didn't he?

Yes man!

Just imagine how rich he would be!

He identified that need...established rapport and the "audience" connected. There you have it .-.

lol nice try

You're absolutely right lol. They have no clue. You either see it, and get it, or you don't. Once you learn NLP/Hypnosis and the power of language, emotion (states), it's hard to look at things the same. Really it's impossible. It's something that people that haven't looked into/studied this will NEVER understand. People on here are just naively saying it's manipulation. 🤣 Manipulation - to control or play upon by artful, unfair, or insidious means especially to one's own advantage. Persuasion - the act of persuading (or attempting to persuade); communication intended to induce belief or action. The main difference between persuasion and manipulation is that, usually, persuasion associates with a positive outcome whereas, manipulation, commonly, associates with a negative outcome. Similarly, the intention in persuasion is more noble and positive while manipulation has an evil and negative intention. Blackmailing people with bad emotions if they don't do something you want them to do (i.e. shaming them, making them fearful - like the government and news media does). That's manipulation. Persuasion is a balance between pushing your perspective without being aggressive, being assertive but not dismissive. It's more about intention. Offering actual value/product while recieving value/money - persuasion. Real world example: When diagnosed Psychopath "Earl Jones" from Canada cleverly persuaded, or better yet, manipulated people into investing their money with him in the hopes that he would invest their money, but instead he actually pocketed all of their money and invested none of it; it would be considered manipulation, because it was proven that his intention was to literally just steal their money while promising them that he would be investing it for them. He used charm and lied to them, took their money and gave nothing in return. Tony Robbins for example gives something in return. You may not like what he gives, therefore you don't have to buy it. In his books he offers different ways of thinking, modeled from concepts in hypnosis and neurolinguistic psychology, although he doesn't overtly claim his multiple years of experience studying and practicing in these fields. Hypnosis (change work) is merely convincing the unconscious mind to do something different (think and act differently) for the betterment of the individual. All (helping) hypnosis protocols are based on what the person wants deep down at the unconscious level. Anything else suggested that is unwanted is easily rejected by an individual in or out of trance.

I don't think his "transform your life" programs are bad at all, but those concepts max-out very quickly.... hence, no more particular need for him...... so he must sell and sell and resell himself with all the whistles and bells! He's basically not added anything much of importance in over 30 years!

@@josephinetracy1485 Yes! It’s just the same thing in different packages. I love Tony though. Learned a lot from him and have a better life bc of him.

you mean a winner? hustler was 1 million steps behind.

He is not manipulating anyone. It's called persuasion. Manipulation is evil.

@@smu414141 LMAO.

Yes truly an astounding level of scamming and lying to stupid people. one of a kind.

He learned NLP neuro linguistic programming from the two co creators of it namely Richard Bandler and John Grinder AND yes NLP is used by all higher echelons of not only american society be it candidates running for president, top ceos of fortune 500 companies, ucessful writers, actors, athletes and so on worldwide Hard work and being sincere does not guarantee success in life be it romantical or financial or health related Being sincere or good hearted is not how things are get done in life although these are good to have. You can't play fair while the other side use tricks and still get on top Is it fair for young people with no resume professional experience to be discriminated and get rejected from a decent job just because they are freshly graduated from college or high school? Having experience is no guarantee you are a good fit it's just a subjective estimation based on the HR recruiter's own biases How many people "pro's" with many years of experience ruined whole companies while young people with little life experience are getting rich starting their own little business part time or getting business angels or funds to invest in their ideas? I think he was rather 20 something not 19 of course this is my own opinion don't know for sure since I don't know the year of this video educational material

@@Deepgoat 😂 that’s funny but I like him anyway

@@Deepgoatso it’s a scam because you were too lazy to do anything with the info? Sounds like you were looking for a get rich quick scheme and never found it. Who’s the real loser here?

Facts f the haters

Yes !!! YEs !!! Yes !!!!! This is straight from Scientology......

💯

NLP can be used for good or for evil. Persuasion isnt manipulation. Its influence

Not Scientology or NLP. Motivational Interviewing more like it at root.

He repeatedly programs people , to get them into an "agreeable state." ....If you agree with this, raise your hand and say I.

😂👍

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so hopeful lmao

there is an uncanny valley familiarity !

That’s not Arnold That’s Tom Cruise isn’t it ?

hahaha

I was totally scrolling for an Arnold comparison

and no accent ;)

Its a scam when he is charging people 1000s to hear him talk in circles

@@CarlosMartinez-ou9gtnever been to one. Only read his books and used the information in them to get what I wanted out of it. It works. You don’t need to spend $1000’s on a seminar.

Some of them might be thinking about that. That’s something I would do, obviously if I already paid for it I would probably stay in. And who know, they could use these techniques, all that he used, and all he talked about, to do the exact same thing to others

Good example of practice what you preach

I would have known, yet I would have still paid to learn. He's talking about the fundamental thought process behind purchase decision-making and buying, not one-off cheap tricks. You assuming that you're the only one thinking this, is what amazes me.

They already know why they're there. To learn how he got them there. So they can get other people to where they want them to go too . Lol

Most people want to be loved...but not violently 'raped' and robbed as well

Word? So he bought your ticket and packed up your belongings? Pretty sure you did that.

Was his talk causation or correlation?

@@ZakkofAllTradesOfficial it’s not that simple, the process of selling house while abroad, car, qualifying for various visas during my stay through a corrupt system, forced to leaveThailand to satisfy certain visas, maintain $30,000 in a Thai account to qualify for OA visa, arrange business, close accounts, leave friends and family and face an all speaking Thai country, to learn to read and write Thai, there is so much more and Tony Robbins gave me the push I needed that was well worth it.

@@adamrafferty both : )

@@ZakkofAllTradesOfficial haha I misread your message at first, yes Tony bought my ticket and packed my bags : )

How old was he in the video??

Maybe not much of what you’re understanding lmao

I've heard many criticisms of him but that one is probably the least accurate. What he is telling here is Insidious, manipulative, but it is true and substantive. Whether applying it will actually serve you in your life in the long run is another question, but the fact remains that he is describing a coherent process

I'll bet he's got a large oil painting of Edward Bernays hanging in his bedroom.

Exactly.. anyone who complains about persuasion or power, or "manipulation" is delusional. People who use deliberate tactics just embrace reality and strive for what they want instead of being an emotional looser who doesnt want to take resposibility for himself.

Maybe because he's not growing food people can eat. He's not pulling oil out of the ground that people can use to heat their homes or drive their cars. He's not fixing a broken car. He's not healing a sick person. He's just teaching people how to sell product, which most people see as useless. Just something that puts money in his pocket, but doesn't help them in any way.

Persuasion and manipulation are two different things.

Because manipulation is the practice here and it is to separate people from their money. It's not harmless.

Persuasion to what purpose? I mean if you want to be in this guys church go for it. But if you’re going to be persuaded in some moments of fake rapport and manipulation and then stick to that you deserve what comes your way. People join cults and suicide missions and Ponzi schemes and this guys “work” belongs to more than one of those categories. Hey enjoy your choices though. It’s a free choice kind of world.

selling self interest

Fascinating how you can see it that way. I guess this is how this sort of thing perpetuates. I thought evolution was supposed to lift us above this but we’ve been hacked.

@@1chienandalou i mean, it’s possible that a man that could sell you your own hat could sell you the idea of a better version of yourself. and if that makes you believe in yourself, and that gets you to apply for that job or take that chance, then pragmatically it worked. i haven’t followed him long enough to know one way or another.

Guy is manic as fuck. Somebody should have sold him some lithium.

@@philwilson609 why? What’s wrong with constant euphoria bud

Underrated comment.

Agree completely. I'm actually surprised at how he frames it here. If you're not selling a product you genuinely believe in, you're done. People can sense a lack of authenticity in most people. I'm not a salesmen, but I do try to persuade friends and family to do things that have really benefitted me. My enthusiasm rubs off on them because it's genuine.

I think the real problem is that 95% of stuff sold is something people *don't* need at all. If you're in the lucky 5%, you're offering a meaningful service and all you need to do is share the information and your opinion on the product. Else, you're in the business of manipulating people into buying shit they don't want by creating desires that will subside after the first couple of days of using the product. Because this is how consumerism works, you will always have 95% of salesmen faking it and there's a demand for that too since consumers base their identities around the stuff they consume, so they need this constant influx of bullshit to avoid living through a massive identity crisis. So, one part of the population cons the other and that latter part asks to be conned

@@Limemill You're right. It's particularly true in our consumer-driven economy, and it's bad for our souls (and I am for sure a Capitalist). If everyone stopped buying useless crap, our system would fall apart.

@@bradleyboyer9979 The way it is, it's falling apart anyway. We already moved from capitalizing on natural resources to mining and selling human resources (attention). There isn't much left out there to extract. Like a cancer, we need to continue to constantly consume more and more to not crumble. Hence, the renewed interest in space travel and colonization of other planets. It's ironic that consumerism-based capitalism converges to essentially a global mind control system where people are not even bricks in the wall, but, much like in The Matrix, batteries that are hallucinating under a mass hypnosis while being sucked dry by the system. By the way, all of this has nothing to do with how Adam Smith devised capitalism to operate. He was a smart guy and said right away this would turn into a catastrophe if any company larger than a medium-size enterprise is not broken down immediately under anti-trust laws.

Spot on!

Best comment so far!

I wonder if he's helped peoples lives though

Hey tf does this video make him a con man?

@@glennsnare09 read a few comments and you might understand

He's basically evangelizing Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) - he didn't develop it just study it and use it effectively.

No doubt he would be good at it. He is a great communicator. That's undeniable

Yeah, in the pockets of millions by selling them absolutely nothing

Thousands of hours of conning people .

So do career criminals.

He was a showman from the first day nothing else

People who apply what they are taught get results People who like to point fingers outside of themselves and find excuses for not getting results will learn NOTHING regardless if it's from Tony Robbins, some hollywood actor, Kiyosaki, Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar or Elon Musk Most people don't have the patience to do daily habbits make plans and follow through because they choose to waste their time in addictions like porn, alcohol, drugs, gossip, smoking, binge watching movies, gambling and so on To get rich in life or achieve something great of your life you need EMOTIONAL DISCIPLINE with an inital jumpstart of SELF MOTIVATION NLP - neurolinguistic programming can give you the mental tools and exercises to get your subconscious mind on the side of your conscious mind

You dont need anything of that. People pay for you to lie to them. Just go after there desires not there needs.

Rapport

That’s his sales people he’s training to sell his seminars

How do you think the companies you hand your money to take your money??? Marketing. Marketing is all psychology.

@@Mythoclast01 Unless they actually have a useful product. Everyone else who needs to fool you doesn't have a useful product.

to be fair, I think it's much easier to say it when we're in this position. Alot of them were vunerable of struggling to find their way up in this world and the more they desired it the more they were susceptible to be allured by schemes like what happened in this video. All in all, a lession for all of us, except that they had to pay for it and it might or might not have helped them at all.

He is using sales tactics and techniques. Unless you operate as a sales person or own a business that deals with sales predominantly you wouldn’t know what he is describing. It take a a lot of wit to guide a potential prospective client or customer to become a paying client or customer. You have to remember sales and not rapport build a business and put food on your table and money in your bank accounts.

One of the interesting things about the woman who escaped from North Korea was she said that everybody told her she couldn’t do everything that she wanted to do and the only place that ever encouraged her were books.

He's still selling the same program from the 1989 infomercial--which has a lot of good stuff in it--but he has to keep reselling himself to remain relevant... so he patterns himself after Chuck Berry, Elvis, or Jimmy Swaggert in his movement to generate a somewhat artificial excitement in order to charge $2,000 a seat, or with webinars, and keep reselling the same program over and over again! He's magically given the false impression that his program is ever-evolving!
