Social engineering is related to our social environment – either a business environment like our colleagues, customers, partners etc., or in our private environment like spouses, children, parents, and friends. The broad term of social engineering refers to an act that influences someone to act in a certain way or to do a certain thing. It's an art that combines research from the sciences of psychology and sociology. Sounds complicated? It's actually quite simple. Many times we use influential techniques to get what we want. If we develop awareness for of these techniques and extend our knowledge to other techniques, and use them in order to get to a Win-Win situations with others, then everyone will be happy and satisfied with the outcome. Almost every interaction we have with others is a give and take situation which can end with no gain of the sides, or only one of the sides or, in the best case scenario, mutual benefit for everyone.
Using the knowledge being taught in social engineering can contribute in every area in life related to interaction with other people. Including:
Developing sales skills
Negotiation management with better results
To know "how to sell yourself" better
To influence and persuade other people with your ideas
To know how to make other people count on you and trust you
To motivate people to do certain things
To know how to connect with other people better and faster therefore increasing your social circle
To remove objections of other people
To increase your self esteem. All those things are achievable through social engineering.
