Mind Games: Unlocking the Power of Embedded Commands

Alright, covert communicators, let’s dive into the fascinating world of embedded commands.

Now, before you start picturing me whispering subliminal messages in your ear while you sleep (though, hey, if it works…), let me explain.

This is about using subtle language patterns to bypass your prospect’s conscious mind and plant suggestions directly into their subconscious.

Done with the endless sales theory and ready to actually close more deals? If you want to skip the ‘WHY’ and get straight to the ‘HOW’?

Embedded Commands: The Trojan Horse of Persuasion

Think of embedded commands as tiny Trojan horses, sneaking past your prospect’s defenses and delivering their persuasive payload directly into their inner sanctum.

It’s like planting a seed of suggestion that will blossom into a beautiful “yes” (or at least a strong desire to buy whatever you’re selling).

The Psychology of Embedded Commands

Embedded commands work by leveraging several psychological principles:

Bypassing the Critical Factor: Our conscious mind acts as a filter, evaluating and scrutinizing information before allowing it into our subconscious. Embedded commands, by being subtly embedded within a larger sentence, can bypass this filter and slip into the subconscious undetected.

The Power of Suggestion: The subconscious mind is more suggestible than the conscious mind. It’s more driven by emotions, imagination, and associations. Embedded commands tap into this suggestibility, planting ideas and influencing behavior without the listener’s conscious awareness.

Focus and Attention: When you emphasize the embedded command with your voice (e.g., by lowering your tone or pausing), you draw the listener’s attention to it, making it more likely to register in their subconscious.

Repetition and Reinforcement: Repeating the embedded command, even with different phrasing, reinforces the suggestion and increases its impact on the subconscious mind.

The Placebo Effect: The placebo effect demonstrates the power of belief and expectation. When we believe something will work, we’re more likely to experience its benefits. Embedded commands can create positive expectations, influencing our thoughts and behaviors.

How to Embed Commands (Without a Syringe)

An embedded command is a short, direct statement embedded within a larger sentence. Here are some examples:

“When you sign this contract, you’ll be taking the first step towards achieving your goals.”

“As you imagine yourself using this product, you’ll start to see the possibilities.”

“After you experience the benefits of this service, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.”

“As you consider this opportunity, you’ll realize the potential it holds.”

“When you make this investment, you’ll be securing your future success.”

Notice how the embedded commands (“sign this contract,” “imagine yourself,” “experience the benefits”) are subtly highlighted within the larger sentence?

That’s the key to making them effective.

The Power of Tone and Delivery

To make your embedded commands even more powerful, use your voice to emphasize them.

Slightly lower your tone and pause briefly after the command, as if you’re giving a subtle instruction.

If you want to see the power of embedded commands in action, check out the work of Derren Brown, a master mentalist and illusionist.

He once used embedded commands to convince a cashier to accept blank pieces of paper as payment for a diamond necklace. (Don’t try this at home, kids.)

Repetition is Key (But Don’t Be a Broken Record)

The more you repeat your embedded commands, the more powerful they become.

But don’t just repeat the same command over and over again. Vary your language and use different phrases that convey the same message.

For example:

“Imagine yourself enjoying the benefits of this product.”

“Picture yourself achieving your goals with this service.”

“Visualize yourself using this tool to transform your business.”

“Think about how this solution can simplify your life.”

“Consider the possibilities that this opportunity creates.”

More Examples of Embedded Commands

“When you hold this product in your hands, you’ll feel the quality.”

“As you test drive this car, you’ll experience the performance.”

“After you taste this wine, you’ll appreciate the complexity.”

“When you see yourself in this outfit, you’ll feel confident and stylish.”

“As you imagine your family enjoying this vacation, you’ll start to relax and feel excited.”
