You don’t have to act like spoiled(rotten) Veruca Salt from Charlie & The Chocolate Factory to always get what you want.

Thankfully there are plenty of ways to make people do what you want;

GODSPOWERPROJECT shares 5 among Listverse's top 10 ways to get people to do your bidding, and you can share others you personally know in the comments section.


5. Use Body Language (Chameleon Effect)

Your body language can influence how others perceive you; it can even help change the minds of those on the fence about you.

For example, when you look big (lean back in your chair and push one elbow to the back of the chair top), it will make other people see you as powerful, and they will do anything you want. 

If you are seen as a leader or powerful, others will wish to emulate you; this is known as the chameleon effect. The chameleon effect will make people unconsciously copy postures, facial expressions, and mannerisms, making them more like you; you can make them do what you want


4. Favors Are Your Friend

After performing a favor for someone, they are likely to return the favor. Favors are powerful when seeking to get people to do what you want. Even if you do a small favor, it can return large dividends.

For example, if you help someone at your workplace when they are thanking you, ensure you use a phrase like “That’s what partners do for each other.” When you label your favor as an act of partnership, the phrase will make your colleague return the favor.


3. Go Big

When getting people to do what you want, offer an outrageous proposal straight out of the gate. When this offer is struck down, come in with a more reasonable offer. They will more than likely accept this because it appears to be the better deal when, in reality, it is the offer you wanted them to agree to.

For example, when negotiating with your teen, say they need to complete five chores before earning their Xbox. Of course they may counteroffer with two chores, then you finally offer three. They will agree, and you will still get the work done that you wanted them to do. Score one for parents!


2. Maintain Eye Contact

We are often told to maintain eye contact when speaking to others. It is more than just being polite; maintaining eye contact can increase attraction, understanding, and honesty. But make sure you don’t hold someone’s gaze too long, or you may be labeled a creep.
Eye contact can:

Display honesty
Create a bond
Improve understanding
Build respect
Increase empathy
Foster attraction


1. Use Your Words

As a general rule of thumb, it is better to use someone’s name instead of “Hey, you.” This is especially true if you want something from someone. Simply using a person’s name makes the other person listen; they will be drawn into what you have to say. After all, we have been conditioned to respond to our name from birth

At most places of business, employees wear name tags; it is your job to utilize them. Utilize desk plaques, names on doors, online listings, etc., to make a connection. Even if you don’t have a connection, the person whose name you just used will assume you have one based on the simple fact that you used their name. This is an extremely powerful tool that is most often underutilized.

There is no formula to all these things. What works for you might not work for others. Just choose your path wisely
