Here's how I use
99% rule in everyday activity to help me cut to
chase and find out what's really on someone's mind. Let's say a salesperson comes into my office and begins his sentence with, "It's not that we're trying to raise money, we're simply trying to help you gain a new product line for your corporation."
Now, whatever comes out of his mouth next doesn't really make a difference, because I know by using
99% rule that he really wants to raise money. So I would interrupt him mid-sentence and say, "Listen, you need money, and I could use
product. Forget
five dollars that you want for each unit. I'll save us both time and give you what you could really use: two dollars each. Do you want it?"
You see, once you master listening to what people are actually trying to tell you, it puts you in control and it can save a lot of heartache in
long run.
The other example I mentioned was
phrase I don't. When someone starts a sentence with I don't,
99% rule tells you that they're actually trying to direct you without hurting your feelings. Here are some examples.
"I don't want to tell you how to raise your children, but . . ."
"I don't want to tell you how to drive, but . . ."
"I don't want you to take my side, but . . ."
See what I mean?
Now go out and use this information for yourself. Try it out with your friends, business associates, and dates. They'll be amazed at how well you can read them, and you'll look like a star by simply using and applying
99% rule.
Keep Smilin'
