To increase your influence over people through subtle psychological techniques, you should be able to establish trust and respect by showing empathy and understanding. Furthermore, make sure to use “oblique directivity”, which is using language that implies a specific action without being too direct. This encourages conversational compliance while still leaving room for the listener’s agency. Additionally, body language plays a large role in subtly influencing people. Make sure you have eye contact when speaking and use open gestures to show agreement with others. Finally, recognize complimentary behavior and reinforce it by praising or rewarding desired behavior when possible.

To increase your influence over people and get them to take action on your say, employ subtle psychological techniques such as: using the "yes" technique which involves responding to objections before they're raised; appealing to emotion rather than reason; setting clear expectations; playing on people's desire for autonomy and making them believe they came up with a conclusion on their own; framing an idea or argument in the context of a story or analogy. Additionally, by utilizing humor and flattery you can create positive affinity which will increase your power over others.
