Digital Skills Hub

🔥 Exploring The Dark Art of Persuasion with Dr. Phil Wilkinson In this week's Business Bootcamp, we dove headfirst into the science of influence, unpacking Cialdini’s six “Weapons of Influence” and powerful insights from behavioural economics. From the subtle magic of social proof to the hidden grip of loss aversion, attendees left armed with the kind of psychological tools that actually move the needle. If you’re in marketing, sales, or just fascinated by what makes people say “yes,” this one hit all the right (emotional) buttons. 📚 Key Takeaways: ✅ Authority, scarcity, and reciprocity still rule. ✅ Anchoring bias? It’s anchoring everything. ✅ Influence isn’t manipulation—it’s strategy. Missed it? Stay tuned—more of our popular Business Bootcamps are coming soon! #PersuasionWorkshop #Cialdini #BehavioralEconomics #MarketingStrategy #SalesTraining #PsychologyOfInfluence
