Top Takeaways From Robert Cialdini

  1. Pre-Suasion is about what to put into the moment before you send your message that will make people sympathetic to it before they encounter it.
  2. To get a desire to change, you don’t have to alter a person’s belief; you just have to alter what’s prominent in their minds at the point of decision.
  3. Nothing is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it. If we can get people to think about a particular concept or feature or strength or differentiator we have for them, it becomes more important.
