you probably know that your biology affects perception

Page 4: Social influence for startups marketers

FOCUS ON THE DOT IN THE CENTRE AND MOVE YOUR HEAD BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS.

COUNT THE BLACK DOTS

Page 6: Social influence for startups marketers

for a marketer, perception is important

Page 7: Social influence for startups marketers

but behaviour is the holy grail

Page 8: Social influence for startups marketers

as it turns out, your biology drives your behaviour too

Page 9: Social influence for startups marketers

these biologically-driven behaviours are called fixed action patterns

Page 10: Social influence for startups marketers

a fixed action pattern is simply a hard-wired behaviour to a given

circumstance

Page 11: Social influence for startups marketers

here is what robert cialdani wrote about a famous fixed action pattern experiment in his book, influence…

Page 12: Social influence for startups marketers

“Turkey mothers are good mothers – loving, watchful, and protective. They spend much of their time tending, warming, cleaning, and huddling their young beneath them; but there is something odd about their method. Virtually all of this mothering is triggered by one thing: the “cheep-cheep” sound of young

turkey chicks.

Other identifying features of the chicks, such as smell, touch, or appearance seem to play minor roles in the mothering process. If a chick makes the cheep-

cheep noise, its mother will care for it. If not, the mother will ignore or sometimes kill it.

The extreme reliance of maternal turkeys upon this one sound was dramatically illustrated by behaviouralist M. W. Fox (1974) in his description of an experiment involving a mother turkey and a stuffed polecat. For a mother

turkey, a polecat is a natural enemy whose approach is to be greeted with squawking, pecking, clawing rage. Indeed, the experiments found that even a

stuffed model of a polecat, when drawn by a string to a mother turkey, received an immediate, furious attack.

When, however, the same stuffed replica carried inside it a small recorder that played the cheep-cheep sound of a baby turkey, the mother not only accepted

the oncoming polecat, but gathered it underneath her.”

stupid turkey, right?

Page 14: Social influence for startups marketers

well as it turns out, all animals, not just turkeys, rely on built-in fixed

action patterns

Page 15: Social influence for startups marketers

including you and me

Page 16: Social influence for startups marketers
Page 17: Social influence for startups marketers

and here is the sneaky part

Page 18: Social influence for startups marketers

savvy marketers can manipulate fixed action patterns to drive

unconscious buying behaviour

Page 19: Social influence for startups marketers

cialdani identified 6 usable fixed action patterns

1. AuthorityThere is strong pressure (from systematic

socialization) in society for compliance with the requests of an authority.

In addition it is frequently adaptive to obey the dictates of genuine authorities as they usually possess high levels of knowledge,

wisdom, or power.

As a result, we tend to react to symbols of power as often as actual content.

2. ReciprocityThere is a societal distaste for those who take

and do not return.

Page 27: Social influence for startups marketers

PEOPLE ARE PREDISPOSED TO GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO AVOID

BEING A MOOCHER

Page 28: Social influence for startups marketers

GIVE SOMETHING TRIVIAL AWAY TO CREATE A FEELING OF

INDEBTEDNESS

Page 29: Social influence for startups marketers

THEN ASK FOR WHAT YOU REALLY WANT

Page 30: Social influence for startups marketers

THIS VERY DECK IS AN EXAMPLE WHEN YOU SEE THE CALL TO

ACTION AT THE END!

Page 32: Social influence for startups marketers

PEOPLE ARE PREDISPOSED TO RESPOND TO GUILT

Page 33: Social influence for startups marketers

ALWAYS BE THE FIRST & LAST TO GIVE, ESPECIALLY IF THE GIFT HAS

LITTLE VALUE TO YOU

Page 34: Social influence for startups marketers

3. ScarcityThat which is rare or is becoming less available is always more appealing.

Show genuine scarcity in the most tangible way you can. Point out what will be lost by

not responding. People fear loss, so generate a feeling of potential loss.

Page 35: Social influence for startups marketers

PEOPLE ARE PREDISPOSED TO BUY IF THEY SENSE SCARCITY

Page 38: Social influence for startups marketers

4. Commitment & ConsistencyInconsistency is perceived as confused, two-faced, or even mentally ill while consistency

is associated with personal & intellectual strength.

Once you have committed to a purchase, an action, a belief, or anything like that, it

becomes a piece of your identity and you will tend to act in a manner that reinforces that

choice, lest you look inconsistent.

Page 39: Social influence for startups marketers

PEOPLE ARE PREDISPOSED TO REMAIN CONSISTENT, EVEN WHEN

IT MAKES NO SENSE

Page 40: Social influence for startups marketers

START WITH A SMALL STEP & ESCALATE GRADUALLY

Page 41: Social influence for startups marketers

Page 42: Social influence for startups marketers

what others are believing or doing

Page 47: Social influence for startups marketers

Page 48: Social influence for startups marketers

6. LikingWe prefer to say yes to individuals we know

and like (e.g.: physical attractiveness, similarity, repetitive contact, association)
