Ramit Sethi – How to Talk to Anybody

We ALL have challenges talking to people.

We smile too much. We don’t smile at all. People get bored of our stories. They’ve called us bitchy. We apologize too much. We talk too fast. We talk too slow. We ramble…or we clam up and don’t say a word at all. We’re shy. We’re forgettable.

We chalk it up to genetics and say “that’s just the way I am.”

Until now.

If you’ve ever seen a friend walking towards you and averted your gaze…

If you’ve ever thought about what you said the night before and winced…

If you’ve ever felt like people see you as…

• A people pleaser
• An emotional basket case
• A ditzy oversmiler
• A rambler
• An emotionless robot
• A bitch
• An awkward creeper
• A chronic apologizer
• A silent observer
• A guy in the shadows
• A buzzkill

Then it’s time to make a change.

You can change the way people see you. I’ve learned and systematically tested it with myself and my students. And now I want to show you how.

How to Talk to Anybody is 4-week, online, downloadable video course that shows exactly how to improve your conversation skills with ANYBODY… and be able to apply those lessons to EVERY conversation you have…naturally and automatically.

This isn’t mere theory. By the end of the course, you’ll feel comfortable talking to anybody around you — whether it’s setting limits with an overbearing family member, getting a stern boss to become your ally, or even deepening your relationship with your friends or significant other.

How to Talk to Anybody goes much deeper than simply “work conversations” or “pickup game.”

This course gives you the building blocks to talk to anyone, anywhere at anytime… whether it’s one-on-one or in a group setting, whether you’re trying to get a job or build a friendship. These skills are universally applicable during the most pivotal moments of our lives.

And unlike other skim-the-surface material, we’ve gone deep into the psychology of conversational skills at the highest levels.

We won’t give you cheesy lines to blurt out in different situations. Instead, we’ll show you how the best test and perfect a conversational style that’s all their own — and how you can, too.

How to Talk to Anybody includes:

• Over 8 hours of conversation frameworks, tested tactics, word-for-word scripts, scenario plans and field challenges to practice in real life — all on video, all fully transcribed, all downloadable in audio/video formats
• Hours of exclusive “Social Skills Teardowns” where I diagnose and recommend improvements to real students’ conversation roadblocks. You’ll get access to these extraordinary videos where you’ll see their social skills improve right in front of your eyes

Body-language analysis so you become 10X more interesting — without changing a word. I’ll walk you through examples of before-and-after body language, including “implementation rules” to apply them to your own style

Conversational scripts to accompany the video lessons. Use these scripts to kickstart a conversation and keep it going — authentically and naturally

It would have been easy for me to stop here and give you the video lessons, the teardowns, and the scripts.

But I don’t just want to give you a course. I want to give you a guide for living a Rich Life through the ability to talk to anybody. This is one of the most powerful skills you can possibly imagine. When you close your eyes and imagine the most socially skilled person you know, imagine what it would be like to be him for just ONE day.

How would people treat you? What would be different when you walked into a room? Would people stop and look up at you for just a second? Would you catch them staring and see them nervously look away? How would it feel to be in control and in command of the situation unfolding around you?

You can do that. It’s my goal to help you lead a Rich Life, and this is a core part of it.

That’s why I didn’t stop with just the coursework. I went even further with How to Talk to Anybody.

In less than 30 days, you’ll learn…

We distilled the most powerful conversational lessons, tips, strategies, scripts and exercises into a fast, step-by-step system. Most “naturals” spend YEARS learning this material by trial and error, thousands of conversations, and painfully awkward encounters. We’ll save you the time and hassle.

No fluff — this is real, practical, hands-on training

You don’t learn social skills from a book. In this course, you’ll learn the exact words, body language, and even subtle “connection” strategies to use.

And then we’ll show you how to practice these skills until they become second nature. We’ll start off with “low-stakes” practice, like with the local FedEx delivery guy and your barista. If you’re nervous, we’ll give you small “cheats” to use at first. Then we’ll go deeper, showing you how to blend these new strategies with your friends, your co-workers, even your family.

We’ll never give you vapid statements like “Be yourself!” and “Act confident!” In How to Talk to Anybody, we’ll arm you with every conceivable tool you need to learn how to connect with anybody. The word-for-word scripts. The hours of video teardowns. And even psychological “barrier busters” to help you catch and conquer the insidious barriers that keep us from improving.
