NationalField | Measure Change Book & Blog - Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness Book Summary: Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to be Persuasive Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways To Be Persuasive This book is an attempt to focus on persuasion as a science rather than an art. It relies on a significant body of research to compile this list. 1) Social Proof – People look outside themselves to justify their actions. 2) More individualized messages get greater results. 3) Social proof can backfire if you are showing that the wrong course of action is popular. 4) People who deviate from the average will move toward the average. 5) For those acting in a socially desirable way, there needs to be praise or positive reinforcement of the good behavior. 6) Too many choices overwhelm people unless people are already clear about their options. 7) When giving a free gift with an item, the value of the free item declines in the mind of the purchaser. 8 )When multiple products are offered, the middle item is often selected as the compromise approach. 10) Reciprocation is a social norm and can be used effectively to persuade.
