Meet Dr. Robert Cialdini

Dr. Cialdini spent his entire career conducting scientific research on what leads people to say YES to requests.

A small selection of his accomplishments:

  • His seven Principles of Persuasion have become a cornerstone for any organization serious about effectively increasing their influence.

  • His books, including ‘Influence’ and ‘Pre-Suasion,’ have sold more than 10 million copies in 48 languages.

  • He is known globally as the foundational expert in the science of persuasion and how to ethically apply it in business.

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.
