The Basics of Persuasion

For an internal meeting at Budeco, I made a short presentation about persuasion. Of course I would like to share it with you.

I talked about the 6 principles of persuasion by Robert Cialdini, some examples, a bit about what we can expect in the future and the ethics of persuasion. The line between persuasion and delusion can be very thin.

  1. Reciprocity
  2. Commitment and Consistency
  3. Social Proof
  4. Authority
  5. Liking
  6. Scarcity

If you havent read the book of Cialdini and you’re in to marketing, or not, but just interested in to the psychology of persuasion then this book is a must read.

Here are also some interesting resources that I used:
