It just came into my mind: another things taught as the most important is to underpromise and overdeliver, but the reverse might be true, just like you did in point 3: overpromise and underdeliver ;-) The biggest error could be “congruency”, the idea that you have to believe first in the reality that you propagate to the others…

In number three you mention that this is often taught as the most important part of persuasion. I think the missing trait is rapport, but not in the way that most teach it. Rather than getting rapport by the old pace, pace pace, lead, you are better getting them to follow your lead from the start. Ok, thats my guess. Take care and have a great day. Hi Lucas,
