48. The Neuroscience
What the science has proven?
'
1. Be the First to do a small favour (reciprocity)
2. Be Likable
1. Body language & tone (mirror neurons)
2. Similar to us (1:1 small talk doubles chances of winning a
negotiation)
3. Pay genuine compliments (positive feedback)
4. Cooperate (concede on something, win-win)
3. Consensus: when people at all levels follow the leader (law of social
acceptance), everyone starts to follow
