Research by LinkedIn shows that persuasion is one of the Top 5 in-demand power skills in today’s professional workplace. This first module explains why. You’ll also gain critical insights into the science of persuasion, laying a solid foundation for everything you’ll learn in this program. This is your first step to becoming a true expert.

Understanding the seven Principles of Persuasion will help you achieve better results. But you’ll be even more successful if you apply them according to the science-based processes that you’ll find in this second module. Perhaps even more importantly: you’ll learn how to apply them in an ethical way.

Before taking a deep dive into the Principles of Persuasion, we’ll address the contrast phenomenon. In this module, you’ll learn all about the power of contrast and the best ways to use it as an amplifier for each of the seven Principles of Persuasion. Consider it a small gift to you as a future member of the elite of influence…

In the fourth module you’ll gain a thorough understanding of the science behind the principle of reciprocity and its practical applications. You’ll encounter the ‘hidden gems’ of the world of influence: the activators and amplifiers that engage and boost the Principles of Persuasion. You’ll learn how to master them for reciprocity in this module, and for the other principles in the following modules, giving you a unique competitive advantage over those who haven’t enrolled in this program.

You’ll like this fifth module on liking! You’ll learn how to use the commonly recognized principle of liking in novel and nuanced ways for negotiation and other persuasive purposes. Moreover, as you will in all the other principle modules, you’ll install what you’ve learned into your personal Action Plan. This means you can put those lessons into practice and get results right away.

Dr. Cialdini uncovered this Principle of Persuasion relatively recently, and added it to the expanded edition of Influence in 2021. So after completing this sixth module, you’ll be part of the elite of influence that understands and applies this principle by harnessing the feeling of “we-ness” that leads to assent from others. Speaking of unity…

Professionals in the online world often say that the social proof principle is their most productive. In this module you’ll learn how to leverage its force both online and offline. And again, you’ll walk away with effective activators and amplifiers, as well as avoiding common social proof mistakes that even major brands often make. But not you, ever again!

The authority principle is another booster of success. In the eighth module you’ll learn the science behind it and how to apply it efficiently, effectively, and ethically. Promise: the official Cialdini certificate will significantly add to your authority. You’ll want to display it on your office wall, on your desk, or in the background of your online meetings. Why? This module provides the evidence.

People want to be – and to be seen – as consistent with their existing commitments. In this ninth module, you’ll find out what activates and amplifies this drive. You’ll also learn how to incorporate it smoothly into your everyday persuasive appeals. 

You’re no doubt familiar with FOMO: the fear of missing out. In this last module, you’ll see how this phenomenon caused a product that usually sold for $ 3.95 to sell for $ 250. Sound too good to be true? Not by this stage of the program. By now, you’ll fully understand that applying the science of influence can lead to incredible results. You won’t want to “miss out”.

Research by LinkedIn shows that persuasion is one of the Top 5 in-demand power skills in today’s professional workplace. Your students’ knowledge of influence will therefore be in great demand regardless of their university or course. Dr. Cialdini’s work is mandatory in almost all courses involving marketing, communications, psychology, and the other social sciences, at universities all over the world.

That’s up to you. Your program will be based on the Ethical Influence Practitioner program. You decide on the extent to which you want to customize it, as long as it continues to reflect Dr. Cialdini’s scientific work and his vision of applying the science of persuasion in an efficient, effective, and ethical way. We’ll work together to best adapt it to your needs.

The biggest difference may be the pricing. If we team up to make the program accessible to your employees, you will benefit from exclusive university rates.

Each module of the Ethical Influence Practitioner program (upon which your program is based) has multiple instructional videos, followed by a 10-question quiz. This quiz is primarily a learning exercise: the instant feedback will help your students better understand the most important lessons from the module. They can answer the questions as many times as they want, until they get all the answers right.

The Ethical Influence Practitioner program (the basis of your program) consists of 10 modules. After your employees have completed all the modules, they’ll receive an invitation to take the final exam. This online exam is approximately 3-45 minutes in length, and they can take it whenever and wherever they want. The questions are not so much about testing their factual knowledge, but about assessing their skills in applying what they’ve learned in the modules.

To pass the exam of the Ethical Influence Practitioner program (the basis of your program) your students need to answer 70% of the questions correctly. If they prepare for the exam thoroughly, we’re confident they’ll make it.
