Influence Strategies (Cialdini)

Generate influence strategies using Cialdini's seven principles.

When to Use

When you need to influence a stakeholder or group toward a specific outcome.

The Seven Principles

PrincipleCore IdeaApplication
ReciprocityPeople return favorsGive first, then ask
LikingPeople say yes to those they likeBuild rapport, find common ground
UnityShared identity creates connectionEmphasize "we" and shared goals
AuthorityPeople defer to expertsDemonstrate expertise, cite credible sources
Social ProofPeople follow othersShow what peers/competitors do
ConsistencyPeople honor commitmentsGet small yeses before big asks
ScarcityLimited = valuableHighlight unique opportunity, deadlines

The Process

1. Define Your Context

  • Who are you trying to influence?
  • What outcome do you want?
  • What's their current position?

2. Generate Ideas for Each Principle

For each of the seven, create at least one strategy:

  • Strategy: What specifically to do
  • Rationale: Why it works for this situation

3. Select Best Approaches

Prioritize strategies that:

  • Fit the context naturally
  • Are ethical and professional
  • Create value for both parties
  • Build long-term relationship

Principles

  • Focus on positive influence, not manipulation
  • Create genuine value for both parties
  • Maintain professional ethics
  • Build relationships, not just transactions

When Not to Use

Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
