One of the techniques I love, is a NLP Technique called “Pattern Interrupt“.

This is where, you use a strategy or it could be technique or a behavior or a headline, and it is designed in such a way that it throws the recipient off-balance just a little bit, and lowers their guard just enough for you to make your presence felt – and that's when you grab their attention for a few fleeting seconds. Now, what you do with that next is a completely different story for another day.
