The document provides a summary of techniques for increasing marketing effectiveness based on principles of behavioral economics and social proof. It discusses how Donald Trump has effectively used social proof in his campaign by consistently promoting endorsements, polls, and images that show large crowds. The document then provides examples of how businesses can apply these principles by using endorsements, highlighting positive reviews and metrics, and maintaining a consistent message. The overall summary is that focusing on how consumers make decisions through principles like social proof can be an inexpensive way for businesses to improve conversion rates.

Some impressionistic takes from the book originals v2GMR Group
Wharton School Professor, Consultant and best-selling author Adam Grant raises fascinating questions about Originality and Creativity in the organizations and workplace. The primary theme he explores through studies, anecdotal evidence and business histories is how someone Original can perform effectively within an organization. Even the most fluid, forward-thinking companies-or at least those self-described as forward thinking-can resist Originality.
Your success depends on how you present your original ideas, especially if they don't fit the type of originality the firm endorses. Grant depicts illustrative examples of creative thinkers who turned their original ideas into functioning reality. He shows a rare understanding of how organizations squelch originality and how deft, tactical and strategic the original thinker must be to thrive.

This is a book about our culture. About who we are, why we do what we do, and how we go about it. Our culture is the most precious asset our company has. In the long run, it will be our culture that determines our success. We need to preserve it and develop its strengths. We do not invent our culture with this book.

Chapter 2: Decision Making—The Surprising Reasons People Say Yes and No
Picking his way through the cramped ballroom, with people-filled padded chairs all askew, there was no clear route. Obstacles,
however, were not this man’s primary concern. On his face, you could see his mind racing—searching for what he would say
once he was in front of the crowd. Few people like public speaking, but this situation seemed even more torturous than usual.
He found his standing spot, turned, and faced the crowd.
“I have traveled three hours round-trip every day to attend this session. I’ve driven dangerous roads and in heavy traffic. You
are a talented and knowledgeable group. I have learned from you, and you have learned from me. And I sure could use the
money to help pay for gas. Please, please. Pick me!”
That scene played out in a Calgary persuasion workshop during which I asked three volunteers to vie for a single, crisp $100
bill by convincing the audience to individually award them the money. The idea: Whoever makes the most compelling case,
winning the affections of the crowd, walks away with the cash and the bragging rights.
Participants are allowed to make their case in any way they deem appropriate, with one exception: They can’t share the money
or materially benefit the crowd in any way. (I’ll buy you all drinks!) Adding to the pressure, I give them just four minutes to
develop their case and only 25 seconds to present it.
What would you say if you were in this situation?
This activity mirrors business life today in many ways. You are often in competition with others for the account, the promotion,
the project. You must think on your feet and be able to put together compelling arguments fast, and you might not have much
time to state your case. Sometimes you need to do all this—especially in peer-to-peer persuasion situations—without offering
your target some sort of material gain. Not an easy assignment, to be sure.
The most interesting aspect of this workshop activity, though, is not the people vying for the money—it’s the people deciding
who will earn the money. You may think that people are carefully analyzing participants’ arguments, weighing the pros and the
cons to rationally decide who gets their votes. That’s not what’s happening. At all. The surprising truth is that most people have
no idea why they say yes.

DiSC Profile Introduction - Why Use DiSC Communication Profiling?Mary Jane Clark
Here's a presentation I created while leading teams at StepUp in Raleigh, NC. I felt it is important to take time to educate people by sharing this basic, simple introduction to the DiSC profile and uses in communication.
In my workplace, every client, staff, volunteer and board member takes Disc assessment - and furthermore, all our profiles are shared. We'd never ask a client to do anything we don't do. That'a an authentic value. We believe it has made us more successful in our field of human services, as people and as an organization. We tend to play nice with one another because we took the time to truly get to know and understand one another.
Influence can be defined as the ability to affect and leads to change in the mindset, character, behaviour, or development of someone or something. This ability requires a strong emotional connection with yourself and others. Those who are masters in the art of influence are also skilled at tapping into people’s emotions, which drive their actions. And that’s why influence is known to be synonymous with leadership. In fact, when Time magazine releases the ranks of the 100 most influential people throughout the globe, their largest group isn’t comprised of sports stars, philanthropists, or musical icons, but rather leaders such as Michelle Obama, Jacinda Ardern, Xi Jinping, and Bob Iger. A very clever form of manipulation is persuasion.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

7. Business Science vs. Business Intuition
There are many perspectives and often disagreement on business problems. Some of
this discord is because of honest difference of opinion - two people can look at the same
facts and come to different conclusions.
Much disagreement is because people, driven by purely pecuniary interests, offer
supposedly ‘common sense solutions’ as the key to business success. They promote
their tonic as the cure all, be all, end all, for all ailments. Of course, most of this is
nonsense. My response is, “there ain’t no free lunch.”
Occasionally one of their acolytes enjoys a success which is offered up as proof of their
wizardry. However, in science, it is important to count the hits as well as the misses and
that’s what separates business science from the mere promoters.
The Center for Business Innovation is committed to the science of business - to finding
scientific proof of what works and what doesn’t so that entrepreneurs and business people
of all levels of experience and abilities can enjoy the greatest possible chances for
success.
8. Introduction
The early part of a political campaign tends to attract
little attention. And the attention it does attract is from
the most enthusiastic followers - the political junkies
and extremists - and not main stream voters.
Candidates struggle to separate themselves from the
field. They wrestle with getting people interested in
their ‘issues’ and the ‘reasons’ they are running.
They often fall back on tired sayings like, “I’ll cut
taxes” or “I’ll create opportunity for everyone.” And the
world yawns.
Trump has changed that dynamic with a new type of
campaign that focuses on using just 1 promise and
one reason - social proof - to support him.
Behavioral economics is the study of how people
make decisions.
Idea gained prominence when Dr Daniel Kahneman
won the Nobel Prize for his research in 2002.
Key concept is that people are NOT rational decision
makers. That is, people are influenced by things other
than rationality including personal biases, emotion and
so forth.
Thus it is important to communicate with people in
ways that improve the likelihood of them accepting
your message.
“people have a strong tendency to go along with the status quo or default option.”
― Richard H. Thaler, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness
9. The Problem
Getting noticed
1. Differentiate ones’s self in a competitive world.
2. Inspiring action.
3. Get the sale before the other guy.
4. Build a brand.
10. Background:
The need for results
The story begins with any business or organization,
yours maybe.
And the need to more effectively convert people from
prospects to contributors.
An important way to do this is thru the tools of
influence - that is - ways information is presented that
make people are most likely to accept it.
The techniques presented can be used, individually or
in groups, on any web site or marketing material.
11. Background:
The problem with communications
Many of us believe that presenting the facts or sharing
information is how information is exchanged or how
people are made into customers or supporters.
This is not true.
People hate to think. The brain, contrary to rumor,
does not like to analyze and parse information to see
how it benefits one.
The brain likes to exclude information and do as little
as it can. Your brain is happiest when it is parsing
information out rather than bringing data in.
Therefore, the brain has developed a set of rules -
heuristics - to get thru the day.
These rules allow the brain to make fast, and
generally good, decisions without wasting time or
energy.
If these rules are understood, the communicator has a
direct ‘feed’ into the brain and can by pass the filters
designed to keep information out.
12. Principals of Influence
6 heuristics the brain uses to make fast, effortless decisions
• Social proof - following the other guy. (Like mother said, ‘if everyone else jumped off a bridge would you
too?’ Of course you would, that’s what everyone is doing.)
• Scarcity - the less there is of it the more valuable it is. (Don McClean, author of ‘Bye Bye American Pie’
sold his original manuscript for $1.2 million. But the photocopy, as an exact duplicate as anyone might
need, is not worth 50 cents.)
• Reciprocity - I owe you. (Phrases such as ‘much obliged’ or ‘I’m beholden’ are part of our culture. There
is a strong internal pressure to level the scales.)
• Consistency - humans strive to be consistent - to behave in a predictable fashion. (Research shows it’s
easier for someone to take the second step after taking the first.)
• Authority - we obey authority figures. (Every con man knows dressing the part is half the battle. Dress
like a banker and you are half way to getting an old lady to hand over her life savings.)
• Liking - we tend to do business with people we like and trust. (Politicians love to be photographed kissing
babies because they know it makes them likable - and instant liking is more powerful than a 50 page
position paper.)
13. Influence Is Based On
• Research conducted by Dr. Robert Cialdini
• Regents' Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing at Arizona
State University
• He is best known for his 1984 book Influence: The Psychology of
Persuasion. The book has sold over three million copies and has
been translated into 30 languages. It was listed on the New York
Times Business Best Seller List. Fortune Magazine lists the book in
their "75 Smartest Business Books".
• His two other books, "Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be
Persuasive" and "The Small BIG: Small changes that spark a big
influence" were named a New York Times Bestseller and The Times
Book of the year respectively.
17. Jeb: difficult to categorize -
volunteers, administrative
stuff, and attacks. Not
focused. All over the place.
18. Ted: two endorsements,
one expression of support
for the military, one attack,
some campaign news. Not
focused. No core message.
19. Social Proof
Amazon and other leading web retailers
have adopted the principal of social
proof using:
• Ranking systems.
• Best Seller tags
• Reviews.
• Counting the number of reviews.
• Ordering the reviews in the sequence
others find ‘most helpful’.
• The ‘verified’ purchase, seller, etc.
What they know is the buyer is not going to
compare dozens or even a few other books to
arrive at a buying decision. Rather, the buyer
is going to take the path of least effort and
silently say to herself, ‘what do other people
think?’ and follow.
20. Trump Has Applied This To His
Campaign
• Endorsements
• Polls
• Pictures in front of crowds
• Talking about record crowds
• Talking about how great everything is that he has
21. Lessons
• Use Endorsements
• Point out how well you do in Polls
• Use pictures of you and your products in the hands of
users
• Talking about strengths
• Talking about how special you are
• Be consistent
22. Resources
Nudge - Dr Richard Thaler
Thinking Fast and Slow - Dr Daniel Kahneman
Influence - Dr Robert Cialdini
23. Conclusion: Better Selling Is Inexpensive
• Of all the things a firm can do, studying consumer behavior
