What Is Persuasion in Business?

Persuasion in Business is the main hub to learn how to ethically incorporate proven-persuasion messages into your marketing and business communication. Through psychological research and case studies, Dr. Mindy Weinstein, author of The Power of Scarcity: Leveraging Urgency and Demand to Influence Customer Decisions,  has identified ways businesses can improve sales and convert more customers. The information and practical tips she shares are backed by psychological theory and real-world testing.

It Works: See the Results

Increased purchases by 40%

A company selling electric bikes increased purchases by 40% when adding a countdown timer to the website alerting website visitors how much time was left before the current sale ended.

Spiked sales and pre-orders

A popular brand experienced a spike in sales and pre-orders when adding “restock” to the subject line of its emails to customers.

Closed new clients time and again

A consultant continued to close new clients time and again by subtly letting them know she only worked with a select number of businesses at any given time.

Averaged 13 to 20% increase in orders

A restaurant that labeled five dishes as the most popular on the menu, experienced an average 13 to 20% increase of orders of those dishes.

Persuasion attempts can also backfire, so it is important to learn how to incorporate this concept correctly and to also recognize when not to use it. That is where we can help.
