Perhaps starting with a great definition of the two, how to strategically prepare for both, and how to leverage them without insulting your target.
June 16th, 2008 at 1:50 pmHow can these techniques be used in social media, such as Facebook?

I think of persuasion as the verb and influence as the noun, but never have seen that defined anywhere. I’ll add that to my questions.
“not insulting” is also a big part of the plan. We want to move beyond tricking customers (which I know Cialdini will explain how that doesn’t work).
Thanks for the input

Good principles are universal, but It’s a good for us to focus on their use with specific technologies.
I’ll ask Cialdini for examples.
Great idea
June 16th, 2008 at 2:50 pmWe have already instituted many of the tips from his first book on our web site design to increase hits and retention. Any new suggestions specifically in how to use influence on web sites?
Thanks!

As the call’s being rescheduled, thought I’d take the opp to add a questions here… I’d really extend Matt’s question - how to use these methods on websites but specifically in (1) getting new visitors and more importantly (2) persuading them to return again & again.
Thanks,

Several times very early in Yes!, and occasionally throughout the 50 chapters, there is an emphasis on the ethical nature of persuasion. I have three questions on that (or different ways for asking the same question…)
Why are we psychologically turned off to the idea of persuasion (both a persuader and potential persuadee) even when we understand the outcome to be mutually beneficial?
What barriers stand in the way of persuasion being seen as socially acceptable?
How do we begin to create the paradigm shifts needed to change persuasion’s bad rap?
