Answer 2

Foot-in-the-door technique, also known as the Foot-in-the-door phenomenon, is a persuasion method. In it, the persuader does something small in order to catch the target's interest, before moving on to what he really wants. This may be a small, insignificant offer which the receiving party cannot logically refuse. After the receiving party has accepted the offer, the offeror proposes another, but more significant offer. Because the receiving party has already accepted the smaller offer from the offeror in the past, he will be more inclined to accept the second offer than from someone he had just met. A related trick is the Bait and switch.

The term refers to the stereotype of a pushy door to door salesman inserting his foot in someone's front door so they become unable to close it and terminate the conversation, without actually invading their home. But as this refers to a non-salesmans term the "Foot in the Door" can also refer to doing or saying something that would persuade the "Consumer" to open up to what you were selling.

Modern examples of metaphorical 'foot-in-the-door' practice include not only traditional sales techniques, but can also include the practice of charities mass-mailing small free gifts (such as pens) to recipients in the hope of persuading them to open the letter and consider donating money, rather than simply throwing the letter in the wastebasket. Cults are also said to employ this technique, with the 'foot in the door' being a casual conversation on the subject of philosophy, or a group meeting, which does not immediately resemble the target's idea of a cult.

The door in the face technique is a persuasion method. The persuader asks an individual with a request that is so demanding or outrageous that it would most likely to be refused. Then, the persuader would ask a smaller and reasonable request which is the persuader's intended request. The individual accepts the second request because it seems smaller than the first. If the persuader would have asked for the smaller request first he would have been turned down, but because the larger one was presented first the individual is more open. Another explanation is that the individual reciprocates with a compliance to the concession.
Examples

A salesman from the can first ask an outrageous price for the product, for example, if it is new and obscure and its future price when it becomes widespread is unknown. After that, he can ask another price (as part of an advertising campaign), which is lower than the first one but still somewhat higher than the intended price. However, because the prospective buyer was just presented with a less desirable alternative, he is more likely to pay the price.

As a version of the above example, shops are sometimes accused of raising prices before announcing a discount, so that the discounted price is the same or even higher that the price that used to be asked before the campaign, but people are more inclined to pay it because the non-discounted price is higher still.

What it sounds like you are asking is that you want people not to have an opinion.
While you can persuade people with no opinion or with a very weak opinion it will be almost impossible to persuade a person to convert religion or change their taste in fashion or food. No matter how strong your facts are some people will not be persuaded.
As to faking a laugh when they are not funny why not just say you don't think its funny. (your opinion)

Answer 4

~First, you should have a strong motivation and an inward belief about the persuasive topic that you are choosing. You need to be inspired with this topic to make yourself truly convincing and sincere.
~Your persuasion should zero in on one main idea rather than focusing on entirely different areas. Think of one thought that you want to leave to your audience and develop it very well throughout your speech.
~Always decide who will make up your audience. Good persuasive topics should always relate to the people you address. This strategy will help you find the appropriate appeal to the audience you are applying.
~Experts emphasize currency and controversy in the choice of good persuasive topics. The more controversial your persuasion topics are, the bigger challenge you are creating for your audience.
~Always keep in mind that your persuasive topic should captivate the willing hearers, and subdue their understanding.
~One more reliable strategy, which guarantees ecstatic success for you is the choice of fun persuasive topics. Humor brings people together. It is a magic of uniting your audience and creating a friendly environment.
~Hence, humor may help you find a rapport with your audience, dispose them positively and undoubtedly help you convince more effectively. But here is one warning: beware of choosing fun persuasive topics unless you are sure about your sense of humor.
~The background for each topic will give you a general overview of your persuasian and inspire your creative thinking to produce fresh ideas about selected subject.

Perhaps changing friends is a good idea, especially if you're always "having to force laugh" at boring jokes. Seek out people who may be more interesting to you.

If you have to be alone while doing this, then do so. Sometimes being alone gives you time to increase your own brain power. :p Read about topics that interest you, hang out where there may be more people like yourself.

Answer 5

You don't have to laugh at a joke if it isn't funny to you personally and faking something is simply being dishonest. Be true to yourself and you will never have to persuade anyone to see things your way because no two people are the same. Stop trying to please others and decide to please yourself.

Answer 6

wow. what i usually do, when i feel a joke coming on from someone who i know is bad at telling them, is space out and think about how lame the joke might be and think of something else that i know will humor me. and usually my laugh starts to build up and by the time the person is through telling their joke, laugh out loud about whatever the hell it was you were thinking. then sigh. ooh, and shake your head with a grin on your face. i do that a lot to my boss. oh he's gullible for thinking that i'm laughing with him.

Answer 7

fill yourself with knowledge on any particular subject matter and become pig-headed.
