Influence Summary

Influence: Science and Practice by Robert Cialdini

What are the factors that cause one person to say yes to another person? And which techniques most effectively use these factors to bring about such compliance? In his bestselling book, Robert Cialdini, former salesperson, fundraiser, and advertiser, examines the science and practice of compliance. Praised for its enjoyable writing, practical suggestions, and scientifically documented material, previous editions have been widely read by business professionals, fundraisers, and those interested in psychology. The new Fifth Edition includes twice as many first hand accounts of how principles presented in the book apply to personal lives; updated coverage of popular culture and new technology; and more on how compliance principles work in other cultures.

For marketers, it is among the most important books written in the last 10 years. -JOURNAL OF MARKETING RESEARCH The best sales tip I ever got was encouragement to read INFLUENCE by Dr. Robert Cialdini. It was so profound and insightful, I read it three times in a row. -GREG RENKER, President, Guthy-Renker It would be marvelous reading for students taking Social Psychology. -DAVID MYERS, Hope College The book is tremendously entertaining and very popular with students. It makes excellent reading for a Consumer Behavior or Advertising class. -ALAN J.
