Conversational hypnosis is a powerful tool that can greatly increase an individual's influence over others. The goal of conversational hypnosis is to communicate with the subconscious mind of another without their knowledge. Doing so will allow you to implement feelings and thoughts into their mind. By using subtle inflections and careful wording, it is possible to rally others to a cause, turn others away from a potentially harmful person or situation, or make others more likely to agree.

When attempting conversational hypnosis, remember to keep an open mind. Doubt and uncertainty can affect your demeanor and tone negatively, causing the subject to be less likely to be hypnotized. Accept and agree with anything the subject may say. Disagreements cause rifts that can ruin the hypnosis process. The subject needs to feel completely comfortable and at ease while being hypnotized. Try to be soft spoken, refrain from being presumptuous, and always remain interested and involved in what the subject is saying.

Speak as naturally as possible. Try to word sentences as if talking to a close friend or relative. Technical terms can break the effect by causing the subject's mind to wander away from the conversation. Don't lie or say things you don't agree with. Some people can sense the change in tone or phrasing this can cause. Agree with people, but not to extremes. Flattery can play a key role in conversational hypnosis but using it too much will make people suspicious.

Listen as closely as possible to what the subject says. You will have to know exactly what they mean and want by what they say. Words, inflections, or facial expressions can be vital clues to further hypnotizing the subject. Restating information the subject tells you is another way to solidify their trust, and their openness to being influenced.

Every morning when waking up, know what you're goal is for the day. Part of being a successful conversational hypnotist is knowing without a doubt that you can and will succeed. Face yourself in the mirror and tell yourself what you are and what you're going to do. Try phrases like, "I will sell my product today." or something similar, depending on what your goal is.

Delicately sprinkle your desires into the conversation. Casually mention what you hope to gain with the same tone and phrasing you've used the entire conversation. Coming across too forcefully will cause the subject to become defensive. Don't use the subject's name or your own name in these commands. This makes the subject feel pressured and can cause rejection.

Hypnosis cannot make an individual do something they don't want to do. The goal is to nudge them in the direction of your choosing. From a salesman's standpoint, the subject will already want to buy something, but the salesman may use conversational hypnosis to nudge them to buying a more expensive model, or concrete the purchase to begin with. Someone may use conversational hypnosis to convince a friend or relative to leave an abusive partner, or to help them solve minor fears such as stage fright. However, with this power comes responsibility. Conversational hypnosis should never be used to convince to others to perform dangerous or illegal acts.
