How persuasive are you, really?Take the Influence Assessment
For Financial Services

Ethical influence that meets the highest standards.

Clients cannot judge the advice, so they judge the adviser instead.

That is why high-pressure tactics fail here: they spend the one thing the client is actually buying. The 7 Principles give advisers like you a research-based way to earn confidence honestly, because each one depends on the underlying claim being true.

Dr. Robert Cialdini, founder of the Cialdini Institute

Why Financial Firms Choose Cialdini

Inside the client meeting

One evidence-based language for adviser conversations, built to sit inside your compliance review rather than test it.

01

Advice that gets acted on

A client who cannot evaluate the recommendation evaluates you instead. Authority and Liking are what they are actually reading during that meeting.

02

Built for the compliance review

Every principle requires the underlying claim to be true, the same standard your compliance function already enforces. The method is designed to work inside the rules; your compliance team still approves the specifics.

03

One standard across the advisory team

Client conversations currently vary by whoever is holding them. A shared framework makes quality something you can coach rather than hope for.

In the Room

Learned with peers, not from a lecture.

The POP Workshop is two days of hands-on work at round tables. Participants work through each principle together and practise it on situations from their own work.
