MISTAKE # 1 - FAILING TO USE THE “QUOTES PATTERN” TO SAY
SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF.
One of my favorite subjects to teach here at Forever Free is something I call, “Language Patterns.”
These are techniques for modifying your language in order to be more influential and persuasive.
We teach over two dozen different language patterns, and the “Quotes” pattern is one of them. The
“Quotes Pattern” is a way to say something good about yourself while maintaining your humility. It’s
a way to convince your prospect that something you’re bragging about is actually true! This is a
perfect technique for use in e-mail and faxes as well as all spoken communication, and it’s
especially useful when you’re looking for a job or a raise in your current job, or to convince
someone to join your MLM!
WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO LEARN IN THIS SECTION
In this section, you’re going to learn:
• What the Quotes Pattern is
How and why it works
• How to use it yourself
Real-world examples of this pattern
• How to covertly compliment someone else using the Quotes Pattern
How to covertly flame someone else using the Quotes
• How to add impact to another person’s compliment using the Quotes Pattern
A little about “Emotional Anchoring”
• Places where you can use the Quotes Pattern
Where would you want to use this? Anywhere that you want to say something good about
yourself to sound impressive: good things about your products, testimonials from your happy
customers, something impressive about your company, etc.
Here’s how it works:
Suppose I’m in a conversation with you and I want you to believe that I’m the most powerful per-
suader alive. I could simply say:
“I’m the most powerful persuader alive.”
But is that believable? Doesn’t it sound like I’m tooting my own horn? A statement like that doesn’t
really carry a lot of credibility, does it?

“Many of my students tell me I’m the most powerful persuader alive.”
Suddenly, the sentence is a lot more believable. Instead of me saying that I'm powerful, students
are saying it. This is automatically more believable.
It’s amazing how simple this is, yet it works because it’s actually an “implied testimonial.” When
companies want to sell you a product or a service, why do you think they always show you what
their current customers are saying about the product or service? Because we tend to believe what
OTHER people say a lot more than what a person (or company) says about themselves.
Also, realize that in general, we don’t question whether or not it’s true that “my students” actually
said I’m the most powerful persuader alive. We simply accept it. (That’s partly due to a special way
which we interpret language. This is covered in more depth in the Home Study Course and our
ongoing conference call training.)
Here’s another example. Suppose you’re in a job interview and you want to mention that you
graduated first in your class, but you don’t want to sound self-important. Instead of saying:
“I graduated first in my class.”
say this instead:
“My friends tell me that since I graduated first in my class, I should easily be able to find the right
Do you see how this pattern informs the listener of the exact same information without you
sounding like a snob? The entire idea behind this is to take what you want to say about yourself
and put it into the words of someone else. Just put quotes around it, see?
As an exercise, rewrite the following sentences using the Quotes Pattern:
“This is the best price you’ll find on this product anywhere.”
“I have over a hundred satisfied clients.”
“I can do this project better than anybody else.”
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES OF THE QUOTES PATTERN
Writing an e-mail to your boss, requesting better computer equipment: “Many of my coworkers
have mentioned that it’s almost a miracle how I can get anything at all done with the kind of out-
dated equipment I’m working on. They said I should immediately demand a top-of-the-line
computer system. So I’ve been thinking about how much more I think I could get done with a
system like that, and I thought I would run the idea by you.

Trying to get a new job (talking to the interviewing person): “My last employer said I was such a
valuable member of the team that they would do anything to keep me there.”
Getting a raise (talking to your boss): “Some coworkers are telling me they appreciate the way I
work with them so much that I should get a really big raise. But I tell them I’m just doing my job!”
Selling your product or service (talking to a potential buyer): “Many customers tell me this is
worth TWICE what they paid for it. It almost seems ridiculous, then, for me to be offering it to
you a discount, doesn’t it? Hmm...” (Then wait for them to jump in and say, “Oh no! Your price is
very reasonable!”)
Convincing your banker to give you a loan: “The loan officer over at ABC Bank said they would
LOVE to have the chance to offer a loan like this to a person with my kind of perfect repayment
history, but I told them I had the obligation to check with my main bank first. That’s why I’m here!”
And you can easily think of your own examples where you could USE THIS PATTERN to enable
someone to believe something really great about yourself or your company. Are you having fun
with this yet?
USING THE QUOTES PATTERN TO COVERTLY COMPLIMENT SOMEBODY ELSE
Here’s another very powerful way in which you can use the Quotes Pattern. How many times have
you found yourself in a situation where you wanted to say something good about someone else
with out causing them to think you’re insincere?” Perhaps you want to pay your boss a compliment
as your year-end evaluation draws near. Or perhaps you just want to make someone feel good
about themselves in a covert way.
Here’s how you do it:
1)
Decide what you want to say.
2)
Put it in the Quotes Pattern.l
For example, suppose you want to tell your boss she’s doing a fantastic job. The non-persuasive,
direct way would be:
“Wow, you’re a really good boss. You’re so amazing—how you can get so many things done at once.
That’s what we call, “Spreading it thick.” It’s a deep-down insincere comment, and it’s not likely your
boss will think you really mean it (whether or not you actually do!).
So to smooth it over and give the same compliment while being taken seriously, USE THE
QUOTES PATTERN like this:
