The speaker advises developing a "fake charm" if one lacks genuine charm. This involves strategic flattery and appreciation. Examples include sending a picture of a child to their parent to emphasize the child's value, and praising an employee's worth to their superior. The speaker suggests moving beyond superficial compliments like "nice hairdo" to more elaborate and specific praise, such as "Love your new hair and the combination with that jewelry is sublime." This detailed flattery, even if insincere, is presented as a highly effective tactic.

I would also suggest that you develop at least a fake charm if you don't have any. Um, sorry.

Take a picture of someone's child and send it to the parent. Explain to someone's parent how valuable their employee is. By the way, it works every time, right? Trust me.

Don't say "nice hairdo," which is what I would say. Say, "Love your new hair, and the combination with that jewelry is sublime." Right? That's fake charm. It works very well.
