One main reason why people are not getting what they want is that they don't ask enough. 

Have you done enough asking people—customers, friends, bosses, or people you believe can help you achieve your goals, i.e., the things you want or crave?

This 'How to Get Whatever You Want Faster!' motivational article offers practical insights into the art of asking as the key to expediting one's path to success, drawing on the philosophy that asking is the fastest, easiest, and surest way to attain desired goals, with emphasis on developing powerful asking skills, dealing with objections, and leveraging the law of averages to enhance the likelihood of success through effective and skillful communication.

The Fastest Way to Get What You Want!

In his book, How to Get Whatever You Want, M.R. Kopmeyer said:

"Asking is the powerful answer! Asking is the fastest way to get whatever you want. It is the fastest, easiest, and surest way to get what you want!"

Why? 

Because all people have been taught, trained, and “attitude-conditioned” to do what they are asked to do. 

People have been "conditioned" throughout their upbringing to do what they are asked to do. When you push the psychological button of asking, others respond by doing what you ask!

But, how many people have you asked to help you get whatever you want? Any? A few? A dozen? A hundred?  

How many? How often? 

In reality, we need to do a lot of asking to get what we want.

"If you are not moving closer to what you want in sales (or in life), you probably aren't doing enough asking." - Jack Canfield

So, why not start asking now?

You have a lot of work to do to succeed!

The more you ask, the more you will get!

God has promised: "Ask, and I shall give you!"

Mahatma Gandhi said, "If you don't ask, you don't get."

Powerful Asking Skills

But, it doesn't mean that you can simply ask for what you want. 

To get what you want successfully, you must:

• ASK in an extremely courteous manner.

• ASK expectantly in the voice and attitude that the other person will gladly do what you courteously and expectantly ask.

• ASK reasonably. It applies to what you ask and how you ask.

• ASK persuasively. Never DEMAND! Never use the word "demand." Never even “sound demanding.”

• ASK pleasantly, without pressure. Do not allow your voice or manner to imply pressure, as pressure creates resistance, and resistance is the exact opposite of what you want. What you should want is an agreement.

• ASK politely. Let your voice and manner, in every way, imply that the other person will be agreeable and cooperative by gladly doing what you ask.

• ASK firmly. It is probably the most important technique of asking and the most difficult one because you must give a firm impression that what you ask for is reasonable and logical, and you shall pleasantly persist until you get it!

Dealing with Objections

When a person replies "no" to what you have "asked," usually the only real reason is that they are not sure that doing what you asked is best for them. 

Most "no" people are just like "maybe" people, only they are less timid and more direct. Some people say "no" just to stall for time to think it over. They've been rushed into decisions before, which they later regretted, and they do not want to develop such a habit. So, they instantly say "no" as a self-defensive mechanism.

If the "NO" is genuine, ASK WHY? 

Your genuine surprise will cause the other person to wonder instinctively if perhaps he or she was wrong in saying NO. All you need to do is assure them and reassure them until they are sure that what you ASK is best for them too. 

Remember! 

The More You Ask, The More You Get!

Therefore:

• ASK MORE and More People More Skillfully. Always have an abundance of contacts.

• The LAW OF AVERAGE is based on the number of people you ASK. The more people you ASK the more you will get of whatever you want! And, the closer you are to getting whatever you want.

• By asking, you are taking steps toward achieving your goals quickly.
