I want to express my appreciation for your excellent presentation at The Forum on Executive Decision Making and Influence. . . the audience was composed entirely of senior executives from major U.S. and Canadian companies. . . . The evaluations were in the ‘excellent’ range and you received more mentions as ‘The part of the program I liked most’ than any other speaker—quite an accomplishment given the competition!

This book is the de facto standard to learn the psychology of persuasion. If you don’t read it, I hope you enjoy pounding your head against the wall and throwing away marketing dollars.

No consideration of important lessons in leadership would be complete without noting Robert Cialdini’s Influence: Science and Practice.

I respect Dr. Cialdini’s work and knew he would be an interesting speaker at our conference. What I didn’t anticipate was how popular his presentation would be among the attendees. He easily filled a 750-seat auditorium, and we were turning people away at the door.

Bob is one of the better speakers on the subject of what persuades/influence people to use our products and services. His book should be in every sales and marketing person’s briefcase and reread frequently.
