The movie Return of The Jedi, the final episode of the Star Wars series, includes a scene in which Luke Skywalker turns to Darth Vadar and says,: "I know there's still good in you. There's good in you. I can sense it"
This of course turned out to be pretty effective, considering that Darth Vader turned against the evil emperor, saving his own life, and restoring peace and hope for the rest of the galaxy.
What social influence technique did he use?
This strategy, known as the "Labeling Technique", involves assigning a trait, attitude, belief, or other labels to a person, and then making a request of that person consistent with that label.
Use this for good, because it definitely has the potential to be used for bad. This is a manipulative technique, that can make people second-guess their own beliefs.
You have a friend, and he doesn't let you borrow his car for example. What do you do? ...
For the next few days, remind him, of how generous he is as a person, and appreciate him for that... even if he is the complete opposite. Don't force it though, make it seem natural, or else they'll catch on to the act. Mention that he is a good friend, that is always there to help, and you'd do the same, cause "what are friends for?"
It's gonna take a few tries and fails to get good at this, and as I said, do not overdo it.
This is a business forum of course, and I'm not posting this to use it on your friends and family, but on potential clients and in your business.
I could give you hundreds of examples, but think for yourself this time, stop searching for answers that you can easily find when giving it a little thought.
(This is a technique I got from the book "50 Scientifically Proven Ways to be Persuasive")
