Reciprocity is the ability to move people in your direction and the direction of your offer without changing the merits of that offer. It involves conveying or communicating the merits of your offer in a way that makes them more attractive to the recipient. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger gifted Dr. Robert Chaldini a share of Berkshire Hathaway's A Stock because his book Influence impacted them. By giving first, people feel obligated to give back, which can be used to influence others to comply with requests or agreements.
Liking plays a crucial role in persuasion, as people are more willing to cooperate and say yes to those they like. Genuine compliments also have a powerful impact, especially when given behind someone's back. By complimenting others in a personalized way, individuals can increase their likability and foster positive relationships.
Reviews tap into the principle of social proof, as people are more likely to make decisions based on the experiences of others. However, the trustworthiness of online reviews is essential. Phony reviews can negatively impact the informativeness of review processes. Differentiating genuine from fake reviews can be achieved by looking for specific characteristics such as specificity, proper grammar, and a focus on the product rather than personal experiences.
The unity principle highlights the importance of establishing shared social or personal identities with others to enhance influence. By convincing individuals that they are part of the same in-group, trust and cooperation can be fostered. Successful car salesman Ali Radha in Dearborn, Michigan, capitalizes on his Middle Eastern identity to connect with the large Arab-American population and achieve extraordinary sales results.
Job candidates can use the principle of commitment and consistency by asking interviewers at the start of an interview what specifically stood out on their resume or led them to invite the candidate. This public commitment to the candidate's strengths prompts interviewers to conduct the rest of the interview in a manner consistent with their positive initial evaluation.
