[PERSUASION THREAD]
1. RECIPROCITY
Give and you'll be given. People feel compelled to do something for you once you did something for them beforehand. Freebies work that way.

2. CONSISTENCY
People want to appear as if their behaviour was consistent. Once they commited to something, especially in public, they will stick with it, no matter how irrational it is.

3. LIKING
This is a lot about being relatable. People want to see that you're an actual human being. Just like them. Display a personality that is cohesive with your counterpart.

4. AUTHORITY
This is about perceived expertise. People want you to know what you're talking about. You have to be an expert (or at least surround yourself with experts). If you do, they're more likely to follow your words.

5. SOCIAL PROOF
Big one. As social creatures we trust the perception of other people. And if they approve of something, we see that it has been tested and was found to be valuable. You always check reviews before buying, right?

6. SCARCITY
People hate the feeling of missing out on something. If you give them an opportunity, but tell them it will be gone by tomorrow, they are likely to take it.

These 6 principles are scientifically validated. They work. Robert Cialdini, a psychologist, came up with them and I recommend you to read his book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion".
