Tactics and Strategies to Elicit compliance
Foot in the Door - start with a small request and then escalate Door in the Face - ask for a big request / unrealistic request that the person denies, post which the real request is asked Low Ball Technique - making a very attractive initial offer to induce a person to accept the offer and then making the terms less favorable Reciprocity - using reciprocity as leverage Pique technique - exploits curiousity Principle of Scarcity - when things are portrayed to be going extinct, we may buy them even if we don’t require them
