Participating in the workshop showed me subtle (yet very powerful) ways to put the principles into action in different ways to create amazing results in our marketing. We’ve already seen an increase in results and we’re enjoying implementing our Action Plan.

“Our management team has realized the power of the principles of influence with fans, the media, our staff, and even operations with the players. For example, I personally use reciprocity and consistent commitments by thanking others for work they’ve recently completed and by asking them questions about how they think we should tackle issues. Compared to my prior tendency to “cut to the chase,” I’ve found people are significantly more responsive and agreeable. Small changes do make big differences…and since your work with us, I think through situations to make sure I use this science to set the right tone for an agreement.”

“Because the basis for the pharmaceutical industry is the scientific method, the Cialdini method is acutely important. Just as we do in our research, Dr. Cialdini has rigorous scientific evidence to back the utility of his techniques. By ignoring the science of influence, we
a) decrease the probability of influencing physicians to prescribe our medicines
b) blunder opportunities to convince customers to establish price points that allow us to reinvest in the future
c) hurt the likelihood that patients will comply with treatment regimens
d) retard our organizations ability to adapt to the onslaught of attacks from the unfavorable political climate.
We ignore Dr. Cialdini at our folly!”

– Merck

“As a learning & development professional, I was extremely impressed with the design of the POP session. The lecture based on recent research and memorable stories, as well as the practical application in small groups, kept the entire class engaged both days. I appreciated the constant focus on developing an action plan and the ability to vet this plan with other participants and the facilitators on Day 2. I have implemented both of the action plans I came up with in the session – so far so good! As a result of attending the session, I have experienced the success that results from taking the time to plan influencing strategies and the power of leveraging the influence principles.”
