Principles of Persuasion1. Reciprocity: people feel obligated to give back after they
have received something.2. Scarcity: people want more of things they can have less
of.3. Authority: people follow the lead of credible,
knowledgeable experts.4. Consistency: people like to be consistent with the things
they have previously said or done.5. Liking: people prefer to say yes to those they like; people
like those who are similar to them, give them compliments, and cooperate with them.
6. Consensus: people look to the actions and behaviors of others to guide their own; the larger the group of individuals in agreement, the more likely others are to join.
Create a drawing that demonstrates one of the principles .
