How did a marketing campaign lead to one of the worst public health disasters in American history?  In this episode, I investigate the rise and fall of the Sackler family, the pharmaceutical empire they built, and the marketing tactics that got millions addicted to opioids. You'll learn: How reframing turned OxyContin from a last resort into a “safe” everyday drug. Why a vague letter (not a study) became the foundation for Purdue's 1% addiction claim. How the Sacklers used doctors, pain groups, and celebrities to exploit authority bias. Why repeating a false claim makes it more believable (feat. the mere exposure effect). How behavioural science helped sell a deadly drug—and what we can learn from it. --- Shatterproof non-profit: https://shatterproof.org/ Empire of Pain:  https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612861/empire-of-pain-by-patrick-radden-keefe/ Sign up to my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ --- Sources: ABC News.

In this candid conversation, Louis Grenier breaks down his book Stand the F*ck Out and shares his practical four-part marketing framework: insight foraging, unique positioning, distinctive branding, and continuous reach. While tools and tactics evolve, he argues that marketing fundamentals remain unchanged. Grenier passionately challenges marketing myths (especially the idea of "category creation") and emphasizes what really matters: identifying and solving those customer struggles that everyone else is ignoring. Louis Grenier is a recovering Frenchman who helps marketers—folks working in digital, creative services, advertising, consulting, or PR—stand the f*ck out without selling their soul. He's been living in Dublin, Ireland, for more than a decade. He fell in love with marketing when he was 18-19 after reading the book Petit traité de manipulation à l'usage des honnêtes gens, which is basically the French version of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. He prefers taking his coffee at home, in his garden office. His recommended reads are How Brands Grow and How Brands Grow Part Two by Byron Sharp at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute: https://marketingscience.info/books/ Connect with Louis Grenier on LinkedIn: https://ie.linkedin.com/in/louisgrenier If you have any questions about brands and marketing, connect with the host of this channel, Itir Eraslan, on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itireraslan/  

Welcome back to Cult of Odd, the only podcast where the Kool-Aid comes with a splash of whiskey and a hint of existential dread. I'm your host, Odd Man, and tonight we're tackling a thorny topic that's been clogging up my newsfeed like grandma's mashed potatoes in the sink. Influencers: Are they the problem, or are we just spineless jellyfish swimming in the tide of their perfectly curated BS? Spoiler alert—it's us. But don't worry, we'll unpack it together, one toxic hashtag at a time.Sources:Tulipomania by Mike Dash, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini, University of Leeds study on herd mentality, My own deeply cynical worldview.

"Why do some people seem to effortlessly connect, persuade, and close more business, while others struggle to get a simple 'maybe'? Is it confidence? Charisma? Or is there something deeper at play? The truth is, that most people approach communication, networking, and sales backward. They focus on what they want to say and what they want people to know, rather than understanding what drives people to say yes. Today, I'm breaking down Robert Cialdini's best-seller, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, one of the most powerful books ever written on the science of persuasion. And here's the kicker: we're diving into the new insights and applications from the book's latest edition, including Cialdini's newest, 7th principle of persuasion, which changes the game for how we influence and build trust. If you want to increase sales, communicate more effectively, or simply understand what moves people, then stick around. This episode is about to change the way you see influence forever."

Three important questions every advisor should answer: Do you think you provide a valuable and life-changing service? Do you think your clients are better off with you than without you, even after they pay? Do you find that even though they're better off with you, they still need a little nudge to make the decision to work with you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then here's the harsh truth you need to hear: Getting prospects to become clients requires more than expertise. It requires persuasion. And if you can learn to persuade more effectively, then your life-changing impact will be greater and more widespread.  In the popular book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, Robert Cialdini presents research on six psychological principles to persuade prospects to become buyers. Fortunately, Evan Beach took the research from the book and created a version specifically for financial advisors. In this episode, he'll reveal how financial advisors can use influence techniques to persuade more prospects to become clients. You'll Learn: The sales mindset every advisor should have How and why to implement a waitlist for prospects The psychological reason not to charge for financial plans The "freemium" model he uses for his prospecting process Why advisors are scared to embrace effective sales techniques   The featured partner for this episode is Knudge, an automated system to help clients actually follow through on their tasks and reach their financial goals. *For more resources discussed in this episode --> Go Here. *To receive the monthly "Wisdom Round-Up" newsletter full of practical ways to apply the human side of advice --> Go Here. *Follow Brendan for insights on mastering the human side of advice: Twitter LinkedIn

How much does it matter that a customer "like" you -- before they buy your product? Turns out, it helps a ton. In today's episode, I let you peek into one of my private Book Studies I'm doing with my Accelerator Group Coaching cohort this summer on the best-selling book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini, PhD. In this study, we discuss two key psychological "trigger points" that will set off automatic behaviors in our clients. What are they?... "liking" and "social proof." You'll hear specific ideas for how we can leverage social proof to show our clients that "lots of people like our product." And we discuss ways to do marketing to increase the odds that customers will like you (like showing your face more often). It's a fascinating book, and the discussion brought up a lot of practical examples. I hope you walk away with a couple of specific things you can try in your marketing that will get these psychology triggers to work for you.

Chapter 1 What's Influence"Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" is a book written by Robert B. Cialdini, a renowned social psychologist and professor emeritus of psychology and marketing. Published in 1984, the book explores the principles behind why people comply with requests or are persuaded to take specific actions. Cialdini identifies six key principles of influence that he considers universal and powerful in shaping human behavior. These principles are: 1. Reciprocity: People feel obliged to give back when they receive something. By offering help or favors to others, one can trigger a sense of indebtedness, increasing the chances of compliance. 2. Commitment and Consistency: Once people commit to an idea or course of action, they tend to remain consistent with it. By getting individuals to make small commitments early on, it becomes easier to obtain larger commitments later. 3. Social Proof: People often look to the actions and behaviors of others to guide their own decisions. When uncertain, individuals tend to rely on the actions of others as evidence of what is correct or appropriate. 4. Liking: People are more likely to be influenced by those they like or find appealing. Building rapport, finding commonalities, and establishing positive relationships increase the likelihood of compliance. 5. Authority: Individuals have a tendency to follow authority figures or experts. By presenting oneself or one's message as authoritative, credibility and influence can be enhanced. 6. Scarcity: The less available something is, the more valuable it becomes. Creating a sense of limited availability or a fear of missing out can drive people's desire to comply or act quickly. These principles provide insights into how persuasion works and can be used both ethically and unethically in various contexts such as sales, marketing, negotiations, and social interactions. However, Cialdini also emphasizes the need for ethical use of influence techniques and highlights the importance of understanding these principles to protect oneself from undue influence. Overall, "Influence" is a widely acclaimed book that offers valuable psychological insights into how individuals can be persuaded and influenced in their decision-making processes. It remains relevant and widely referenced in the fields of psychology, marketing, and communication.Chapter 2 Why is Influence ValuedAccording to reddit comments on Influence, "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini is highly valued for several reasons: 1.

[42:11] Closing quote: Remember, character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion. — Aristotle   Quotable Quotes "People say yes to those that they share a personal or professional identity with."   “The idea of this connectedness, this unity of purpose, of effort and so on, those were the people who could really bring that to the surface and create the collaboration and the cooperation that you need to be a truly successful leader with a team that's dedicated to moving forward together."   "If leaders in the middle management ranks start really applying the unity principle, we enforce these silos with even greater strength."   "Attention spans are dwindling. And so what we need to know is those levers of influence that move people away from where they are now in the direction that we would like them to go."   "Don't allow AI to be the whole package. Infuse it with connection, ways to connect statements of connection, get humanity into it, and you'll get both barrels now working in your favor."   "Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion."

The foot-in-the-door technique is a marketing tool that gets someone to make a small commitment with you in order to increase conversions for a larger commitment. In other words, you want people to do a simple, easy thing and then you encourage them to buy something more. It's about getting people 'in motion' because something that's already moving (as opposed to something that's static) has momentum to keep going.Why does this technique work so well?It creates momentumWe all know that momentum works. It's not magic or psychology - it's just physics! If you've ever tried to push a broken-down car, getting the wheels to start turning at first is really hard. But when you get the car going (and it's in momentum) it gets much easier. And human beings are exactly the same.So as a business owner, you want to get people into motion. Because when human beings commit to something, they're more likely to be consistent with it. Robert Cialdini talks about this in his book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, and he calls it the Commitment Consistency Principle. It's the idea that if we say or do something that makes us internally back it up, we'll stand by it. Because we like to be seen as consistent - to ourselves and others.So if someone bought a small product from you (like an eBook or a paid-for lead magnet), they're more likely to buy a course you have on the same topic when you offer it to them. And that's because they've already committed to something and shown their interest. You only show your main offer to pre-qualified peopleAside from putting people in momentum, the foot-in-the-door technique works because it allows you to show your main offer to the people who've already told you they're interested. If you have a new programme and email your whole list about it (several times, as the case might be), some people might leave because they're not interested. But if you only email the people who already showed you they have an interest by making a small commitment (like watching a video about that topic), then you can tell them about your offer and be more confident they'll...

Mullets. Skinny jeans. Crocs. Many of us can recall trends that we've jumped on, only to see those trends become passé soon after. But the fear of missing out can snowball into heavier consequences.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at how speculation and rapidly growing trends, however niche, can cloud people's judgment. A tight knit group of friends in Chicago start buying stuffed animals from a little-known toymaker, called Ty Warner, for their kids. The friends' enthusiasm for the toys is contagious, and soon the demand for these cute stuffed animals, called Beanie Babies, is growing so quickly that people are treating them as investments. People are lining up for hours to get their hands on the newest releases. Parents are using their kids' college funds to collect Beanie Babies. Collectors are buying secondhand Beanie Babies for thousands of dollars. Filmmaker Yemisi Brookes tells the story of how a group of moms launched an unassuming stuffed toy to unexpected highs—and lows.Yemisi Brookes is the director of the documentary Beanie Mania, available on HBO. Next, Katy speaks with Robert Cialdini about his research that shows while humans are influenced by what a majority of people are doing, humans pay special attention to trends that are growing, even if it begins with just a small fraction of the population. You can read more in the paper he co-authored with Chad R. Mortensen and Rebecca Neal called "Trending Norms: A Lever for Encouraging Behaviors Performed by the Minority."Robert Cialdini is the Arizona State University Regents' Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing and the best-selling author of several books including the mega-bestseller, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

In this episode we discuss an old trick palm readers use that you can leverage to get people to do what you want, why persuasion does not lie just in the message itself, but rather in how the message is presented, what the research reveals about why the context matters as much, if not more, than the content itself, why you shouldn't ask people for their opinion but instead ask someone for their advice, how small differences that seem trivial make a HUGE impact on human behavior, and much more with Dr. Robert Cialdini.Dr. Robert Cialdini is the president and CEO of INFLUENCE AT WORK. He is the multi best selling author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way To Influence and Persuade, and his most recent book Influence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of Persuasion, available this May.
