RE: Human Manipulation - Cialdini Principle #1: Reciprocation
I remember reading Cialdini twenty years ago as a Scoutmaster. We were about to go out to raise some funds for a campout. I told the boys that we were going to get money from every house on the block.
We did. Including from the three houses that had no interest in our service. Awfully powerful stuff, Cialdini. This is a good synopsis of the first principle.
Thanks for sharing and proving the usefulness of Caildini's principles. I agree hence these principles are studied by more then just commercial operations and academics. It really does work.
its. Possessive form of the personal pronoun ‘it’, not genitive form. Just like his and not
he’s, or her and notshe’s. Do they teach basic English grammar in your college?Okay grammar Nazi. Apparently your education failed to include an introductory course in basic manners...pfft
How so? Have I been rude to you? Aren't you glad that somebody pointed to an obvious mistake in your written English, so that your writing can be better now? I am appaled at your reaction. Are you insecure or something?
English is my third language, by the way.
If you need me to explain perhaps you are not as educated as you think. It seems this is quite obvious: "Do they teach basic English grammar in your college?" You are being a sarcastic prick or just daft with that line of questioning OR just perhaps your command of correct English etiquette is seriously lapse.
Scarily. Yes. But there's no doubt of the effectiveness.
