Influence by Robert Cialdini | Quest for Knowledge EP. 07

There is a book that the world's best salespeople, negotiators, marketers, and con artists all have on their shelf. Some will admit it. Most will not. It is called Influence by Robert Cialdini. And after this episode, you are going to see it everywhere. Cialdini spent years studying the science of persuasion and identified six universal principles that govern how humans say yes: Reciprocity, Commitment and Consistency, Social Proof, Authority, Liking, and Scarcity. Understanding these principles is not about becoming a manipulator. It is about recognizing when they are being used on you. Topics covered: All 7 principles of influence, the psychology behind compliance, applications in business, marketing, negotiation and investing, ethical use of persuasion, and where the framework breaks down. Quest for Knowledge is a Quantum Qapital series. New episodes every Sunday and Wednesday. Listen to the full audio series on Spotify: search Quest for Knowledge.
