What this book covers
Robert Cialdini explains persuasion principles and how they can be used or misused. For a paid media team, the application is to examine what evidence a customer needs to make a confident choice. Use it to improve relevant proof and understandable conditions, rather than treating a list of principles as automatic conversion tactics.
