Compliance
Reciprocity
- Universal rule of influence: reciprocation
o Ask who you can help first instead of asking who can help you.
- Present first more costly option to client
o If rejected, then present less costly option
Scarcity
- Focus more on what clients will lose if they don’t close your option instead
of what they will gain if they choose your option.
- The newer the information the better.
Authority
- Present weakness early on the presentation - establishes credibility.
Consistency
– Get a commitment.
- "Please call to cancel." vs. "Will you please call to cancel."
Consensus
- "Operators are waiting." vs. "If operators are busy, please call again."
Liking
- Similarities - We like people who are like us.
- Compliments - We like people who like us.
- Cooperative efforts - We like people who work with us.
