Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When I’m trying to bring someone around, they treat me as an outsider pushing my own agenda
- When I genuinely don’t know the right move, I find myself just doing whatever people like me seem to be doing
- I tend to drop the whole big request on someone cold, all at once, and they balk
- I open with the big request and watch it get shot down, and afterward I notice the people who got me to commit started with something tiny I could easily say yes to
- I notice I say yes far more easily to people I happen to like, and I want to understand that pull
Practices that may help
- Pre-Suasion, Made Practical
Pre-suasion, Robert Cialdini’s term, is the practice of directing attention to a concept or feeling immediately before a message so that the audience is primed to receive it favorably. The core finding is that what people are thinking about just before a message reshapes how they interpret it — making the moment before you speak as important as the message itself. - Cialdini’s Principles of Influence
Robert Cialdini identified six near-universal levers of persuasion — reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, authority, liking, and scarcity — that bias people toward saying yes. They’re drawn from decades of social-psychology research and field studies; the principles are well established even though individual effect sizes vary by context. - Activate unity — shared identity before the message
Establish genuine shared identity with your audience before presenting your position.
Pre-Suasion, Made Practical - Social proof
People look to what similar others are doing to decide what’s correct, especially under uncertainty.
Cialdini’s Principles of Influence - Elicit a small consistency cue before the main ask
Get a small, genuine agreement or self-description before the main request — people act consistently with what they’ve said.
Pre-Suasion, Made Practical - Commitment and consistency
Get a small, voluntary commitment first; people then act to stay consistent with it.
Cialdini’s Principles of Influence - Liking
We say yes to people we like — and similarity, compliments, and cooperation grow liking.
Cialdini’s Principles of Influence - Channel attention to the relevant concept before the ask
Briefly focus the audience on a concept that makes your core message naturally follow.
Pre-Suasion, Made Practical - Place your message in a context that evokes the right associations
Context — physical, digital, or conversational — frames how a message is received before the first word.
Pre-Suasion, Made Practical - Apply door-in-the-face for prosocial or charitable asks
