What if you feel. that you are being cheated when making a purchase or making a deal?
In the life of every person, there are situations when important decisions need to be made. This is the purchase of household items, a car, an apartment, the conclusion of various transactions from signing an insurance contract to filing an application to the court, etc.
Many of us are faced with deception of various scales: from petty deception (for example, manipulation of information by the seller in order to put an extra 500 rubles in his pocket) to large fraud, which can lead to very disastrous consequences.
Professional deceivers work gracefully and it is sometimes possible to understand the deception only after the appropriate situation. They voluntarily or involuntarily use NLP techniques, gently adjust to the client, make them believe in information that is beneficial to themselves and deftly make a profit.
How to counteract fraud in various transactions?
1. When committing deception in any transaction, we feel with our sixth sense that something is wrong. But we do not have the time or information to verify this. Feelings say that we are deceived, and the mind has no means to prove it and resist. In 90% of cases, after we finally understood what the deception was, we can remember that we had an intuitive feeling from the very beginning. But it is not always possible to listen to him at the right time.
2. So, let's imagine a situation when, during the conclusion of a deal, a clever businessman leads you to make a decision that is unfavorable for you. On his side are proven arguments, skillful manipulation of facts and a good knowledge of human psychology. You vaguely guess that there is a catch somewhere, but so far the advantages are not on your side. What to do?
3. The first thing to do is to suspend the transaction process. Never make a final decision if the feeling that you are being manipulated has not gone away, and you have not finally figured out the situation. Stop and tell me that you need time to think or call someone. You need to get out of the situation for a while. It may take a few minutes, hours, or days to clarify the situation, depending on the scale of the deal. At this stage, you may encounter some resistance from our opponent - after all, his interest is that a decision is made quickly that is beneficial to him. Perhaps he will say that we should not hesitate, because … … This is a clear sign of a small or large swindle.
4. Collect information on your trade. If this is a purchase - decide for yourself what exactly you want, look for your choice in several companies or stores. It is possible that other companies offer what you need for at least the same price. After collecting the information, you will understand what your manager "did not say", what he embellished, where he gave information from a perspective that favored him.
5. Now, having received new information, make the final decision. If you do decide to close the deal, tell the manager what you learned, honestly but kindly, make it clear what you saw through him. Offer more favorable terms for yourself. In the light of your discoveries, you will most likely make concessions. If they don't, you now have enough information to refuse this offer to make a deal elsewhere.
