How to Ethically Move Others to Say “YES!” to Requests

There’s a Principle for each of your most pressing influence challenges. Whether an important potential client is working with a competitor, you’re stuck in the beginning stages of a project or proposal, or you’re struggling to make a personal connection with a prospect or customer, The Seven Principles of Persuasion make up the blueprint that moves others to say “Yes!” to your requests.

We’ve carefully chosen the word “Principles” because these are authentic, ethical practices that are universally applied. No tricks, no schemes. Just real, proven, science-based strategies designed to help you increase your influence and consistently hear the answer you want: “Yes!”

Dr. Cialdini is the originator in the research and practice of the psychology of influence. He developed a unique program founded upon the ethical practice of influence and persuasion that leads to growth and success in business.

About Dr. Robert Cialdini

Dr. Robert Cialdini, the author of the groundbreaking book, Influence, and president of INFLUENCE AT WORK® is widely regarded as the “Godfather of influence” because of his years of scientific research on the psychology of influence.

Dr. Cialdini has earned a world-wide reputation for his ability to
translate the science into valuable and practical actions. His on-stage stories are described as dramatic and indelible.

Not only was his lecture and the subsequent discussion fascinating but for weeks afterward I heard people here and elsewhere referring to his insights and examples. My sense is also that Robert’s work is being taken very seriously in Government so I hope that his research will come in time to be more fully reflected in public policy.”

Bob Cialdini was the top-scoring speaker at our Financial Advisers Conference, where some awarded him scores above the maximum. Additionally, he was at the top of the speakers of the European Annual Meeting. Bob’s ability to bring together fundamental behaviors of vital importance, with the logic and scientific evidence that support his concepts, made the presentations particularly powerful. He presented in an attractive and entertaining way that held the interest of the audiences throughout both conferences.”
