Develop Personal
Magnetism
Charisma is
also that special quality of magnetism that each person has and that each person
uses to a certain degree. You have a special charisma to the people who look up
to you, who respect and admire you, the members of your family and your friends
and co-workers. Whenever and wherever a person feels a positive emotion towards
another, he imbues that person with charisma, or attractiveness.

3 Pillars of Inspiration
Project Yourself
Positively
In trying
to explain charisma, some people speak of an “aura.” This aura is a light that
is invisible to most people, but not to everyone, and that radiates out from a
person and affects the people around that person in a positive or negative way.
The halo around the heads of saints and mystics in many religious paintings was
the artist’s attempt to depict the light that people reported seeing around the
heads of these men and women when they were speaking or praying, or in an
intense emotional state.
Control the
Impression You Make
You also
have an aura around you that most people cannot see but that is there,
nevertheless. This aura affects the way people react and respond to you, either
positively or negatively. There is a lot that you can do, and a lot of good
reasons for you to do it, to control this aura and make it work in your best
interests.
Sell Your Way To the
Top
If you’re
in
sales,
this aura, reflecting your level of charisma, can have a major impact on the way
your prospects and
customers
treat you and deal with you.

Selling Is Problem Solving

salespeople seem to be far more successful than the average salespeople in
getting along with their customers. They’re always more welcome, more positively
received and more trusted than the others. They sell more, and they sell more
easily. They make a better living, and they build better lives. Salespeople with
charisma get far more pleasure out of their work and suffer far less from stress
and rejection. The charismatic salesperson is almost invariably a top performer
in his field and enjoys all the rewards that go with superior sales.
Influence
People Around You
If you’re
in business, developing greater charisma can help you tremendously in working
with your staff, your
suppliers, your bankers, your customers
and everyone else upon whom you depend for
your success.
People seem naturally drawn to those who possess charisma.
They want
to help them and support them. When you have charisma, people will open doors
for you and bring you opportunities that otherwise would not have been available
to you.
