Introduction

• Persuasion is a highly leveraged skill in the world.
• Robert Kiel's book 'Influence' is a great resource for becoming more persuasive.
• Reciprocity, consistency, and social proof are three effective methods for persuasion.

Reciprocity

• Showing kindness and generosity towards others makes them more likely to return the favor and like you as a result.
• The gift you give should be proportional to the person you're trying to give to.
• Examples of reciprocity in business include donating to a charity or offering a free gift.
• Reciprocity can be used to get the attention of someone you want to endorse your product or service.
• Reciprocity can also be used in retail to make customers feel indebted and more likely to stay longer and buy.

Consistency

• People judge others based on their actions.
• Consistency can be used in persuasion by asking someone to publicly commit to an idea or action.
• Reminding someone of their previous commitment can make them more likely to be consistent with it later.
• Lead magnets and front-end offers can be used to get people to ultimately buy a much bigger thing later.
• Consistency can be used to get people to comply with requests, such as putting up a sign in their yard.

Reciprocity

• Give something to get something in return.
• People feel obligated to repay a favor or gift.
• Useful in business to build relationships and customer loyalty.
• Example: Framing positive reviews and displaying them in a brick and mortar location.
• Example: Providing free samples or trials to potential customers.

Consistency

• People like to be consistent with their past behavior and beliefs.
• Useful in persuasion to get people to commit to something.
• Example: Getting a small commitment from a potential customer before asking for a larger one.
• Example: Asking someone to sign a petition before asking for a donation.
• Consistency can lead to long-term behavior change.

Liking/Rapport

• People are more likely to be persuaded by those they like or perceive as friends.
• Complimenting someone can increase their liking of you.
• Useful in sales and customer service to build relationships.
• Example: Using the ACA framework (acknowledge, compliment, ask) in conversations.
• Example: Using humor or other shared interests to build rapport with potential customers.

Authority

• People are more likely to be persuaded by those they perceive as authorities or experts.
• Useful in business to establish credibility and trust.
• Example: Displaying diplomas, credentials, and awards to show expertise.
• Example: Using third-party accreditation to establish authority.
• Authority can lead to increased trust and willingness to follow advice or recommendations.

Scarcity/Urgency

• People value things that are scarce or have a sense of urgency.
• Useful in sales and marketing to create a sense of demand and exclusivity.
• Example: Using limited-time offers or one-time-only deals to create urgency.
• Example: Using language that emphasizes the potential loss of not taking action.
