What is Sleight of Mouth and Why Learn It?

Imagine that you are a coach, or another sort of "people helper," and you have been frustrated because you keep talking to people - people you know you could help - only to get stopped by the same old objections...

Or, if you have clients who aren’t getting the results they want because they’re stuck in the same patterns of thought…

…then keep reading, because I’ve got something you’re gonna want to see.

Not long ago, I heard a colleague talk about the gym owners who wanted to help more people get fit.

They were struggling because they seemed to think they shouldn’t need to sell anyone…

They believed everyone should take care of their body by working out and that people should want to join… without having to be convinced.

That’s a really nice thought…

AND YET THEIR GYMS ARE EMPTY.

I’m willing to bet that if you’re like most coaches, then just like those gym owners, your prospects and clients get hung up on objections, too.

Objections like:

“I have to think about it.”
“It’s too expensive.”
“I don’t have enough time.”
“I have to talk to my spouse (or boss) first.”
“I’m not sure the results will last.”

In my years of experience, these objections stump most coaches and therapists when it comes to signing up new clients (and shifting existing ones).

But, just like people who want to join a gym...

YOUR POTENTIAL CLIENTS NEED YOUR HELP GETTING PAST THESE LIMITING BELIEFS (AKA - OBJECTIONS)

Just imagine if you could consistently move people past these objections and get them into your coaching program where you can create a bigger impact for them…

Imagine what that would do for both your business and for the lives of your clients.

Obviously, it would be priceless.

Now, we all know that no one wants to feel like they're being “sold.”

And, having trained plenty of coaches, therapists, and even sales professionals, I promise you that the most impactful coaches don’t try to:

• Hard sell
• Tease prospects with false urgency
• Entice them with limited-time bonuses 
• Or drop their prices to enroll clients.

You might be wondering, ”Doug, what is their strategy then?”

The most impactful coaches rely on an NLP skill designed to shift beliefs called Sleight of Mouth.

Sleight of Mouth is a series of 14 language patterns that allow you to understand how someone put together their beliefs and show them another way that they could see the world.

You can think of Sleight of Mouth as verbal aikido. 

Just like the martial art, Sleight of Mouth is about taking the force from the other person and redirecting it, elegantly leading the prospect to a new perception.

With Sleight of Mouth, you’ll have a method to:

• uncover the assumptions and thinking that are keeping your prospect stuck
• discover the easiest place to shift their belief 
• and you’ll have multiple, highly effective ways to introduce new perceptions that are more beneficial to them

I'm Doug O'Brien learned the Sleight of Mouth patterns from its creator, Robert Dilts, back in the 1980s. I’ve been teaching them ever since. 

I’d love to help you learn Sleight of Mouth, too, so you can help people shift out of their limiting stories and make a bigger impact during your coaching sessions.

That is why I’m running a no-cost, 5-day Sleight of Mouth Challenge on Jan 24-28, 2022, at 4 pm EST each day. 

During the challenge, you’ll discover how to elegantly shift prospects and clients out of their limiting beliefs and create a bigger impact in their lives.

Each day I'll be sharing one of the top 5 Sleight of Mouth patterns with you and showing you how to use. 

This is your chance to learn directly from me on a topic you’d usually only find in a Master Practitioner Level NLP training program.
