About this listen
The premier guide to combining verbal and nonverbal communication to gain confidence, establish credibility, and make lasting impressions.
Yes: a small word, but the key to opening doors both professional and personal. The power of The Yes Factor gets you the job, the promotion, or the second date. But getting a "yes" can be tricky.
Tonya Reiman explains how communication works - what the words you speak actually say about you, and how the perfect pitch can help you achieve your goals, convince your boss or client you should get the account, give a killer presentation, or win control of the remote (without ticking off your spouse!).
Combining verbal and nonverbal tricks - identifying types of communicators, recognizing subconscious motivations, and adopting covert communication techniques - The Yes Factor is a simple approach to influencing and framing communication so that your message resounds clearly, ensuring that your ideas are implemented effectively and that you present your best possible self.
A leading body language expert and Fox News contributor, Reiman's accessible prose, firsthand anecdotes, step-by-step advice, and short quizzes make The Yes Factor the ultimate how-to for exuding confidence, establishing authority, gaining credibility, and making the lasting impression that will get you a "yes" everytime.

Whether you're at a job interview or a cocktail party, searching LinkedIn, or swiping right on a dating site, you want (no - need) to understand what people are really thinking, regardless of what they're saying. Understanding what others are trying to tell you with their posture, hand gestures, eye contact (or lack thereof), or incessant fiddling with their iPhone might all be even more important than what you're projecting yourself.

A stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides in the way they want to improve their careers, financial fitness, physical fitness, and so on?

Great Tips for Getting What You Want
I loved this audio. I've been following Tonya Reiman on TV for quite some time, and her ideas are great. The tricks, both verbal and nonverbal and her step-by-step advice is priceless. It's a fascinating audio and it will help you get you what you want, when you want it!

Glad I said Yes!
My husband and son are big O'Reilly Factor fans so I had already seen Tanya in action. Her book is the perfect vehicle for her to go beyond the quick explanations that she gives on the show. With many of the audible books that are really good, I choose to buy the text for reference. I knew I'd be ordering this one right away. No buyers remorse here.

Good but need much more powerful voice
The book is good, but Ms. Tonya keeps her voice constant all the way instead of making her voice pitch changeable according to the point she is talking about. this what I hope to see because with the constant voice you could full a sleep.

Helpful and on point
I liked the way the author brought and delivered the ideas of the power of a meaningful conversation and to put attention on the slight details of how everyone have their one non-verbal cues and way to present their ideas. What I didn't loved was the examples of the famous and rich of their body language.
In general is a great book and can help you to understand so many obvious concepts that we tend to forget.

After listening to the entire book twice I plan to listen again and grasp more of the concepts. I'd like a hard copy, too for the listings. Tonya explains what has previously been a mystery to me - how to KNOW if someone is lying to you. How to develop rapport. How to get what you want in a given situation. Excellent!

It’s good bruh
I needed something for helping me interact with all people (instead of just pua stuff) and I’d say between this book and “the like switch”, you’ll have a pretty awesome foundation. This book helps you learn about yourself and how you communicate as well as how others around you communicate towards you. I’ve never written a review before but this chick knows what she’s talking about. I’m super curious about her dating book because this stuff alone along with that “like switch” book has already helped me with a few females.

Common Sense
Reiman offers nothing revolutionary in her book. It basically consists of structural steps and sound factors on persuasive skill; which are more of some common sense to most people. Numerous factors (things one may already practicing without labels - things like Priming) are highlighted in the book. All in all, nothing revolutionary. however can serve as reminder on being more persuasive.

Misleading title
I bought this audiobook hoping for a well written audiobook on *persuasion*. Instead, what I got was a disjointed ramble on body language. I consider body language to be only one element of persuasion. Other elements include value proposition, attitude, listening, structuring your meeting/call, preparation etc.
The only (non-body language) gem I got was this: When you make a request, include the word "because". Eg Can you get me a glass of water because I want one. Apparently, the word "because" prompts people to take you seriously and accommodate your request. Nice tip but it wasn't enough.
So,in conclusion, the content and delivery were off in this book. I'd recommend you skip it.
