Member You - Online Training on Autopilot Series: Persuasion Through Influence, Part 1 of 4
PURPOSE OF CAMPAIGNEstablishing ReputationAdvertising is not always required for the purpose of increasing the sales of a product, although that must be the final effect of the advertising if it does its work. It frequently happens that business organizations at various times in their careers need advertising for the extension of values along more general lines in connection with the organization and its market. Sometimes it is necessary to forestall difficulty by establishing relations of confidence with the public, not merely in connection with the product but in connection with the organization itself. It is frequently necessary to find other uses for a product and impress them upon the consumer.In the last 15 years of rapidly increasing activity along the internet l

About This Article The following question comes from a postcard marketing survey I sent to over 3,000 real estate agents and brokers. I compiled hundreds of responses to create a list of the most commonly asked questions. This is one of those questions.Question: Should I include handwritten notes on my postcards.Answer: As with many things in real estate postcard marketing, you must weight the pros and cons of handwritten notes to see if they're right for you. So let's look at some key advantages and disadvantages of using handwritten notes on real estate postcards.Advantage – Personalization almost always increases response, and handwriting a note is the ultimate form of personalization.Disadvantage – If you use handwritten notes on your postcards, it mea
Influence is the process of changing someone’s behavior.
To persuade is to alter someone’s attitude or beliefs.
Are the two similar in nature? Sure. But they are not the same and often times many people confuse the two.
While persuasion can be a tool to create influence, as an employee – influence is far more important. Having less customer complaints and higher sales can only come from a positive change in the customer’s behavior.
Here’s something interesting – there is an old wives tale that the ability to influence is a character attribute some possess and others do not. It’s true for some people; the power to influence comes naturally. However there is good news for everyone else. There’s been research conducted over the past 30 years that indicates virtually anyone can apply the principles of influence to change the outcome of any personal interaction. This research is based upon extensive observation of leading salespeople inside a wide variety of industries. By studying individuals in sales situations, scientists have been able to identify certain patterns of behavior and speech that increase the likelihood of someone saying yes to a request.
How Understanding the Principles of Influence Can Lead to Employee Loyalty.
According to Robert B. Cialdini PhD, there are 6 universal principles of influence. Today, in this field, Dr. Cialdini is the most-cited living Social Psychologist in the world. Additionally, he has a reputation as the seminal expert in the science of influence. Dr. Cialdini's bestseller, INFLUENCE, has been published in 20 different languages and in 23 different countries. It has been consistently ranked in the top one percent on AMAZON.com.
The Principles of Influence.
First, reciprocation. People give back to you the kind of treatment that they have received from you.
Second is scarcity. People will try to seize the opportunities that you offer them that are rare or dwindling in availability.
Third, authority. People will be most persuaded by you when they see you as having knowledge and credibility on the topic.
Fourth, commitment. People will feel a need to comply with your request if it is consistent with what they have publicly committed themselves to in your presence.

As a consultant, I’m always trying to find ways to provide better service to my clients along with delivering more value for what they pay me. Whether it is a little piece of advice that helps in an area on the periphery of the services I provide or connecting a client with a resource totally unrelated, the focus is always on giving the customer what they need. That got me to thinking about what the customer could do in return to ensure a win-win relationship with consultants or any service provider.Here are five unquestionable ways to becoming a great client:Pay Your Bill on Time Admittedly, this is overstating the obvious, but it’s no fun for service providers to have to chase down payment for services rendered. If you deliver a product or service on time and to spec, you expect to get paid on time, ri

My flight from Miami to Los Angeles the other day was something special.Although the 757 was filled to the gills with passengers, which is a circumstance that makes most flight attendants especially prickly, ours did their best to smile throughout the entire trip and to actually thank customers for their business.Apart from hearing the customary phrase, “Thank you for flying with us,” during the initial announcement, and when leaving the plane, I’ve never heard this reinforcing phrase or anything like it being uttered DURING the trip.One of the flight attendants said, to more than one passenger, “It is nice having you aboard!”When was the last time YOU heard that line?I scanned my memory banks, and I don’t think I’ve heard it uttered once, during a couple of decades of flying quite regularly.

And finally is consensus. People will be likely to say yes to your request if you give them evidence that people just like them have been saying yes to it.
Now before we jump into each of them and explain how each one can transform the way you currently train and communicate – it’s important to understand that not everyone uses them optimally. In his own research, Dr. Cialdini was able to detect three kinds of influence practitioners. There are bunglers of influence, there are smugglers of influence, and then there are sleuths or detectives of influence.
Bunglers are the people who fumble away their chances to use the principles in a beneficial way, either because they don’t know what the principles are or because they don’t know how to engage them properly. These people are always dropping the ball when it comes to the influence process.
Smugglers, on the other hand, do know, quite well, what the principles are and how they work. But they import these principles into situations where they don’t naturally exist. An example would be a salesperson who pretended to be an authority on a particular computer system in order to get a customer to buy it. Although the smuggler’s approach often works in the short run, it’s deadly in the long run. Because only one person (the smuggler wins). The customer, who gets fooled into buying the wrong system, will be unhappy with it and will be unlikely to ever return to that salesperson or dealer for future business.
As a trainer – the smuggler would be the trainer who “passes the buck” of knowledge – never taking the time to understand the true goal of what it is they are trying to teach. Whether it is in understanding the company’s goals, or keying in on how the information they are teaching will be used in the workplace or at a customer’s office... the smuggler is usually clueless to both.
Finally, there are the sleuths of influence, who are more knowledgeable than bunglers, more ethical than smugglers, and overall more successful than either. They approach each influence opportunity as a
