Weapons of Influence

Notes to keep in mind

Robert Cialdini's The Science of Persuasion

According to Robert Cialdini's, there are 6 tendencies of Human Behavior which generates a positive response. This is very useful knowledge when we are trying to persuade people or we ourselves are the target of some sales tactics.


Reciprocation: "I will buy from you because you did me a favor previously"

Consistency: "I will buy from you because I have always bought from you"

Social validation: "I will buy from you because all my peers have one."

Liking: " I will buy from you because I like you"

Authority: " I will buy from you because the expert said I should"

Scarcity: "I will buy from you because I want to own it before it runs out of stock"
