Just imagine you're on a reclining chair lying on a beach in Hawaii or someplace tropical. The sun feels warm. There's a nice breeze. You've got a good book, you take a sip of your cool drink. There's a nice refreshing breeze.
Can you imagine that? Did you create a picture in your mind of that setting?
Today I talk about the power of two words. "Just imagine."
In his book, "Exactly What To Say: The Magic Words for Influence and Impact" author Phil M Jones shares how simple phrases can work powerfully on an audience. Last week in Episode 112, I looked at how we can use the phrase, "how would you feel if..." as a way to get excited about a future potential and make the other person consider taking action.
Today I look at "Just imagine..."
Jones says the value of this phrase is that you're letting the other person's creative mind build a case for you. They're creating a picture in their own mind. And it's likely more vivid than anything you could describe.
In this episode, I give several examples of how to use this phrase, as well as some suggestions on how to prepare in advance for using it.
As always, thanks for listening!
