What does izm mean?

There's a fascinating TEDx talk by Tim Larkin, a former military intelligence officer, called the Paradox of Violence. His thesis is that in order to protect yourself, you need to understand violence. And to understand violence, you need to study criminals.

Studying pimps and pimping is essentially the same concept. Like violence, persuasion is just a tool. It can be used for good or evil. And to know the full extent of what persuasion can do, you must study those who use the tool in ways you may think are immoral, unethical, or even criminal.

Think of today's podcast as Pimpology 101, where I introduce you to what pimps call “the Ism.”

How pimps talk, if you understand what they're doing, is they use a principle called the “reason for rhyme.” It's a cognitive bias we have.

When a statement rhymes, we're more likely to perceive it as true. If you've ever been at a college in the US, you may have heard…

And people actually think that's true (“Oh, that makes sense!”) But it's not. We just think it's true because it rhymes.

That's how stupid we are as a species, that if something rhymes we think it's true…because people have put more intention or effort into the creation of that statement.

In some cases, though, the rhyme is true. Like with coral snakes:

And so, the reason for rhyme is a powerful tool of persuasion. And if you listen to pimps talk, they're spitting rhymes all over the place.

This is where a lot of Rap comes from. In fact, Pimpology was proliferated by rap music (think of Ice T, for example.)

So, I encourage you to watch Pimps Up Hoes Down. Because you'll learn a lot about persuasion from it.

Yes, it's the dark side of persuasion. But the thing is…

You can't know the light if the dark is never in sight.

One of the main ways to take your persuasion to the next level is to combine visual and verbal persuasion.

How pimps do this is with “the Ism” (or Izm.) Short for “Pimpism.” And it's also slang for the pimp himself. They call him “the Ism.” And Ism, it's sort of the entire doctrine, principles, theory and practice, of pimping.

Part of this is how they dress and talk. (which we just covered.)

Pimps use glamour. So they wear expensive suits, lots of jewelry, fur coats, walk around with “pimp sticks,” etc.

Or they'll do things like wear sunglasses at night like the one white pimp is doing here (his name is “White Folks”):

See, when you deny someone eye contact, it raises your status and creates an aura of mystery. And Mystery is a part of Glamour. And so, the pimp dazzles the people around him by looking glamorous and talking slick.

You can see it in their eyes. Just watch that video I linked all the way through. The pimp has people around him mesmerized and hanging onto his every word.

How YOU can apply this to your sales calls is simple:

Try 1 or more of these techniques and let me know if you see any effect (positive or negative.)

If you study biology and sexual selection, you learn that the female is the one who chooses who to mate with. And women are choosy because they only have so many eggs throughout their lifetime, and they bear more risk when it comes to gestation and childbirth. A man has significantly less risk and less opportunity cost. This being the case, men aren't choosy.

That's why there's the saying that men are dogs, right? It's because the men are not choosy and women are choosy.

What pimps did was they flip that script. They make a woman qualify herself and prove to them why they should choose them over other women. They've basically taken thousands of years of evolutionary biology and flipped it on its head. Which is kind of amazing, when you think about it.

Pickup artists also took from this playbook and figured out how to do it as well.

How I've personally used this principle is by reframing my interactions with prospects. I choose who gets to buy from me, not the other way around. I also used it to create my alter ego for sales calls, Bishop Don Magic Mike.

Persuasion is a tool. And tools are amoral. We can use them for good or evil. Sometimes, those who are best at persuasion are people who use it in ways that are immoral, unethical, or even illegal.

Think about cult leaders, con men, corrupt politicians, and even pimps. These people use persuasion to get what they want, and they don't care if they hurt people in the process. Because they don't care, they use the tool without restraint and thus, unlock its full potential.

"Suggesting that someone is pimping out their own daughter is the lowest of the low," said Michael Silverstein, a professor of anthropology, linguistics and psychology at the University of Chicago.

MSNBC anchor David Shuster learned this the hard way last week, when he was suspended after he made an on-air remark suggesting that the Clinton campaign had "pimped out" Chelsea Clinton by having her call super delegates to promote her mother's candidacy.

Shuster, who apologized twice on the air for his pimp remarks, was lambasted both by the press and Hillary Clinton herself, who leapt to the defense of her daughter.

"I am a mom first and a candidate second. I found the remarks incredibly offensive," said Clinton in a statement provided to ABC News. "I can take whatever comes my way, that's part of what I signed up for as a candidate, as an office holder, but I think that there's been a troubling pattern of comments and behavior that has to be held accountable."

"Pimp-gate," as Shuster's comment and Clinton's response has now been dubbed by the national media, hasn't deterred Chelsea from helping out on her mother's campaign. Monday, the former first daughter ate breakfast with 21-year-old Wisconsinite Jason Rae, who is one of the 796 super delegates whose Democratic endorsement is still up for grabs.

But during a campaign in which Clinton has been chided by some critics for being overly sensitive or too emotional, several linguistic experts told ABCNEWS.com that her strong reaction to Shuster's remarks was merited, and that the use of the word "pimp" is exactly what Clinton said it was: offensive.

"To say that someone is pimping is really an extraordinarily negative description," said University of Chicago's Silverstein. "It takes a lot of work to use it so ironically that it becomes positive."

While the word "pimp" was formerly known primarily as a noun that meant a male procurer of prostitutes or street walkers, according to Silverstein, its meaning has since changed and is now defined primarily as a verb to describe actions that are "obviously being compared to those of the male pimp."

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the most common definition of pimp is "to act or work in a manner suggestive of a pimp to promote the interests of a corrupt or immoral person, esp. for material gain or advancement."

Other meanings of the word, including someone who poses or flaunts themselves for a particular cause, are the less negative interpretations of the word, but according to OED's editor at large Jesse Sheidlower, these meanings often fall on deaf ears.

"This is not a word where its original sexual meaning has largely been forgotten," said Sheidlower. "Pimp still has that main meaning, and there is no question what it's supposed to imply."

"And the concept of pimping out one's daughter -- or any person period -- is going to have that [sexualized] connotation," said Sheidlower.

Even though the word pimp has been used time and time again in popular culture and is often times even glorified by the media, "It's a Hard Life Out Here for a Pimp" won an Academy Award in 2005 for best song, its negative connotation still prevails.

"The fact a word is used more doesn't necessarily make it less offensive," said Sheidlower.

Barry Popik, a contributer to the Oxford English Dictionary, told ABCNEWS.com that he doesn't believe the word packs as much punch as it used to.

"In my opinion, 'pimp' has certainly been watered down from what it once was," Popik told ABCNEWS.com in an e-mail. "But it's all in the context -- the same with 'bitches' and 'hos.' It wasn't wise to use it on a television news broadcast."

Thomas Whalen, an associate professor of social science at Boston University, said that while some critics may argue that Clinton's response was only for political show, he believes otherwise: Clinton was doing what any mother would do in a similar situation and defending her child.

"People are forgetting the point that Chelsea is the daughter of Hillary Clinton, and that she has always been very protective of her daughter -- when she was first lady and now," said Thomas Whalen, who is also the author of "A Higher Purpose: Profiles in Presidential Courage."

Whalen said the pimp remark was appropriate but not akin to radio host Don Imus' remarks last year, when he was fired for using a racial slur to describe members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team. Imus has since been reinstated on the airwaves and has apologized repeatedly for his remarks.
