Trail with what you want

Do you want me to brush your teeth, or do you want to do it yourself?

Maybe you’ve had to utter this phrase.

Chances are you’re a parent, then.

Unconfirmed rumors about studies that address the sequence of the introductory statement suggest this is the best order to utter it.  Also, my own personal count confirms it.  Try rotating the order and track the results, yourself.  Night one, ”Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to brush your teeth.?” Night two, “Do you want me to brush your teeth, or do you want to do it yourself?” etc.

In a professional environment, you can amplify the choices, easily.  “Do you want the cheaper version, or do you want the one that will really fill your needs the way you need, want and in the long run will be in your best interests, financially?”

I mean, would you rather wallow aimlessly in your persuasive pursuits, or would you rather do it in a methodical fashion, successfully?
