These are abilities that can help you in life and in business. Now, it might seem like some people naturally have more influence than others, but that&#8217;s not always the case. Many powerful people have learned how to influence people using specific techniques.<\/p>\n<p>In our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/2016\/03\/20\/business-english-skills-360-how-to-influence-people-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last lesson<\/a>, we had a look at what you should talk about and how you should talk about it. Today, I want to take a closer look at some language techniques that can open the door to greater influence. And these techniques all help build rapport or trust with the person you&#8217;re talking to.<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Free Resources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/quiz\/360.54POD\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Lesson Module<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/quiz\/360.54QIZ\/presentation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Quiz &amp;
