Sleight of mouth is one of the most powerful set of language patterns you can learn. On top of the Milton Model language patterns of covert hypnosis, learning sleight of mouth can literally turn you into an unstoppable persuasion machine.
So, what are some of the most common sleight of mouth examples? In this article we’ll look at a few, and go through a couple of examples.
However, before we get into the various sleight of mouth examples, it’s crucial to understand that just knowing these patterns isn’t enough. You need to have a delivery system that doesn’t upset the person you are talking to.
In that, they are very similar to the Meta Model language patterns, which are designed to take vague information and get more specific.
But since the Meta Model language patterns tend to sound like an interrogation instead of some curiosity driven questions, they can go south in a hurry.
In fact, if you want to make enemies, using the Meta Model patterns is one of the quickest ways of doing so.
Using sleight of mouth can also have the same effect. Why?
Sleight of mouth patterns are designed to overcome objections. And when people voice objections, they are voicing a belief. And since most of us associate our beliefs with ourselves, on some level, using some of the sleight of mouth examples without being extremely careful can sound, to your listener, as if you are attacking on a very personal level.
So be careful!
OK, now that’s out of the way, lets look at some sleight of mouth examples.
Sleight Of Mouth Examples – A Not Equal To B – I
This is very common, and you’ll hear it a lot from politicians, since it’s pretty easy.
If somebody says “A is B,” in any form, you simply say, “A isn’t B, A is C!”
It can also help if “C” is the opposite of “B.”
For example, somebody says “Taxes are terrible!”
You can say, “Taxes aren’t terrible, they are helpful to the poor and underprivileged!”
Or if somebody says, “Talking to girls is scary!”
You can say, “Talking to girls isn’t scary, talking to girls is exciting!”
Sleight Of Mouth Examples – A Not Equal To B – II
You can also go in the opposite direction. Meaning, if they say “A is B,” you can say “A isn’t B, something else is B!”
Going with the previous examples, if somebody says, “Taxes are terrible,”
You can say, “Taxes aren’t terrible, not being able to feed the poor is terrible!”
Or if somebody says, “Talking to girls is scary!”
You can say, “Talking to girls isn’t scary, the thought of spending your life alone is what’s scary!”
