Implicit agreement

I received a call from the accountant who looks after my bankaccount. She was new, wanted to meet everyone and talk about posibilities. And the first question was if i would prefer morning or afternoon.

And this was the point where i knew something was rotten. Because she didn't ask if i wanted a meeting. She asked if i prefered morning or afternoon for the meeting.

This question implied that i had already agreed to a meeting. Which i never had. With this statement she created the frame that only the details where in question.

Once you pick either choice you implicitly accepted the underlying question. For example if i even wanted that meeting.

This is very easy but powerful NLP manipulation stuff. Take a question that you think the other person might say "no" to but you want a "yes". Just assume that he already said "yes" and ask a question about some detail.

With this i want to warn you about these techniques but not you using them, of course.
