Robert Cialdini 7th Rule of Persuasion - UNITY

[Dien Rice]

Hi Glenn,

Fascinating!

I agree, you are creating UNITY between yourself and others!

It also makes me think of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People"...

I read that book as a teenager (my Dad owned a copy, which I found), and it's been useful for me ever since!

One thing Dale Carnegie talks about is taking an interest in other people's interests...

When you think about it, this is another way of creating Unity...

Or... Finding an interest in common...

I have a friend who is an AMAZING "people person"...

I've seen her "at work"... When she's talking to a new person, she searches and searches for anything they have in common...

When she finds it - she hits it and keeps talking about that! And they feel a sudden bond...

She's just amazing...

Of course, this is another form of "Unity"... When they feel that common bond with you, they're more likely to want to work with you, in a way that's good for you!

Your methods are absolutely amazing for this as well... And with your method, it is near-instant! (Unlike my friend's approach, which is a bit slower...)

Best wishes!

Dien

Figured I'd Better Educate myself a bit.

Discovered his newest Persuasion concept "UNITY"

UNITY - You are more Easily INFLUENCED by a family member. Or by someone wearing the same Football shirt as you.

Or by someone with the same hobby.

I Just Realized I have been Using the UNITY Concept for Years.

When I ASK my Ezine List for The OPINION on Which
Headline they like best. Then SHARE the winner.

I am Creating UNITY.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Nice to have a NAME to hang on something I already do.

One of The UNITY Questions I Love to Ask of Retail Employees is.

"I Just saw where a Mechanic won 40 Million In The Lottery. IF YOU Won 40 Million Bucks RIGHT Here and Right Now. What would You Do FIRST?

Then I hand them a Lotto ticket.

(Just asked supermarket checker. She said, "I'd Pay off my house."
