3 Easy Manipulation Techniques
summary
Describes three concrete persuasion techniques: commitment and consistency (using small yes-questions to secure larger commitments), the reciprocity rule (freebies creating a felt debt), and rejection-then-retreat (asking big then settling for a smaller request). Gives real-world examples—car sales, donation funnels, free samples, and pickup scripts—and suggests simple defenses like pausing to consider your true desire and imagining the persuader’s perspective.
