Hi Gary,
Yup, that’s one of my favorites. People are busy and sometimes, they need that trigger to take action and a deadline is a great tool for that. It works on me too!
Scarcity…simple but very powerful way of persuading audience to act fast and not miss one time opportunity..having the feeling of regret s#(<$… 🙂
You’re very much welcome. Glad you learned a lot from it.
Best,
Allan
This is very informative….Thanks Allan!
Hi Lebert,

Hi Allan,
Thank you for this!
Honestly, I’m surprised that those tips are just that simpl but sometimes taken for granted.
Anyway, I like all the principles but what struck me most is the Principle of Reciprocity. It’s like “Do unto others what you want others would do to you.”
God bless!
Thanks, Anna! Yeah, reciprocity is indeed powerful. It’s really our human nature to return any favor we receive. Scarcity is one of my personal favorites. It takes me back to finishing homework when the deadline is near, so yeah, it works!
Awesome! Great to hear your insight! That’s very interesting indeed.
I like more about the principle of reciprocity. I can relate more to that. It’s returning the favor.. even if you don’t ask them to. Most Filipinos are like that. We grew that “utang na loob” is something that should be innate to us. In our family,our parent brought us to good schools, worked hard for us just to finish our studies, no matter what it takes. So, to give back to them..we say YES to immediately find a job to earn, to achieve our dreams for them. So, for me that is my favorite principle.
Anyway, other principles are good too!
Powerfull!!! I go for LIKING i think its the most easy, comfortable, and most powerfull of the 6.
