The Influence of Friends
and Those You are Familiar With
- on You

by Kevin Hogan

Page 2

How Did it Work?
In a series of six experiments that included 1044 students, from the University of Michigan, Princeton University, Rutgers University, University of Michigan -- Dearborn, University of Toledo and Harvard University, researchers sought to understand individuals' accuracy in identifying group norms and opinions. The experiments included dividing students into three groups, (three person control group, single opinion group and repeated opinions group).

Participants in the three person control group read three opinion statements each made by a different group member. The participants in the repeated opinion group read the same three statements but they were all attributed to one group member. Those in the single opinion control group read one opinion statement from one group member.

If I've Said it Once, I've Said it a Thousand Times...
The studies found that an opinion is more likely to be assumed to be the majority opinion when multiple group members express their opinion. However, the study also showed that hearing one person express the same opinion multiple times had nearly the same effect on listener's perception of the opinion being popular as hearing multiple people state his/her opinion.

Researchers examined the underlying processes that take place when individuals estimate the shared attitude of a group of people and how that estimation of collective opinion can be influenced by repetition from a single source. Since gauging public opinion is such an essential component in guiding our social interactions, this research has implications in almost every facet of modern day life.

How Do People Gauge Popular Opinion
"This study conveys an important message about how people construct estimates of group opinion based on subjective experiences of familiarity," states lead author Kimberlee Weaver, (Ph.D), of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. "The repetition effect observed in this research can help us to understand how our own impressions are influenced by what we perceive to be the reality of others.

For example, a congressman may get multiple phone calls from a small number of constituents requesting a certain policy be implemented or changed, and from those requests must decide how voters in their state feel about the issue.

This study sheds light on the cognitive processes that take place that may influence such a decision.

Science of Influence

The Science of Influence Master Volume VI - Invisible Influence

Knowing What They Think and Who They Think You Are

Do you need to have listened to any of the previous CD's to use this program?

No. It has been intentionally designed to be newcomer friendly.

For those of you who have only been "here" for a year or less, this program,
The Science of Influence Master Volumes 61-72 is my effort to "top" what
most everyone reports as their favorite of the Library, 49-60. Influence, Persuasion, Body Language Expert Kevin Hogan

When I listened to it, I felt comfortable that this program
accomplishes that. 61-72 is superior. 

This program is brand new, unreplicated material. 

The field of influence and it's subfield of persuasion continue to grow
with fresh research from the best minds on the planet.

More books about persuasion were published in the last three years
than in recorded history to date.

Almost all of these books were rehash of Cialdini, Carnegie, and
myself. There wasn't really anything new.

But the persuasion and researchers....well that is a different story.
I had a "field day" this year stacking just shy of seven FEET of research. 
I've synthesized this with results from dozens of real world applications.

Here's some of what I've distilled from current research that you
can put into immediate use:

We learned a lot about the relationship of how people "feel about
products, services and people" and the mental shortcuts they use to
buy.

The first cluster of material I developed was about how people
connect with YOU when they buy from you.

So, Who Is Your Customer, Anyway?
 
What do they think?
How do they feel?
Does it matter?
When?
So what? Can that be used for ANYTHING?
Turns out it can....

Identity in Persuasion

It's in a cluster I call IDENTITY.
Identity research could fill 12 CD's all by itself, but that would
have left too much excluded that I wanted you to have NOW.

So, I put together the core concepts of IDENTIFICATION and IDENTITY
and how YOU can utilize this cluster of information in influencing
others.

One example would be something like,
"If you know someone is a Republican who voted for Bush in the last
election, how does that help me predict what they will think, buy,
and feel about it all today when I ask them to buy from me?"

Obviously we all identify with other people.
Around the house here and in the home office, you'll hear people
refer to me as being just like HOUSE (House M.D./Hugh Laurie). I find
that hard to imagine as he is older than I am and uses a cane....

In public, people tell me that I remind them of Kelsey Grammer,
Robin Williams, Drew Carey and David Letterman all rolled into one.
Must be a very overweight guy....

So the point is that they identify me....with them.

That means they will SEE ME through those filters. Those filters
will completely change their perceptions of me, my work and whether
they will hire me or not. For years people have used the word filters....

How would you like to know what that REALLY MEANS?

How would you like to understand what you get from a filter?!

Identification and Identity are profound areas of influence research
that are now coming to the surface. It's nothing short of fascinating
and of course no one knows about it yet.

I DID see a couple of Internet Marketers use material that they got
at Boot Camp where I touched on Identity. I think they did rather
well in their launch.....

Aside from that you will be the first to use this virgin research.

Because the concept of "persona" is so poorly understood and
underutilized outside of show business and branding, I do show you
how to develop your own persona. Little is more important in being
THE person want to do business with...I'll come to that in a
minute....

I decided not to open with something so profound, however.

10 Simple Steps to Persuade Anyone

Mark Joyner, who is probably the all time #1 Internet
Marketer on the planet, asked me to write a small piece of his book,
Simpleology. (Very good book btw)

He wanted 10 steps I use when I persuade. Not when other people
persuade, but when I do, and he wanted me to make them simple and
easy to understand no matter how complex they are.

That was a challenge but in doing some self-modeling I was able to
develop quite a cool construct that I've never written about and now
for the first time you get it all.

This one long CD is of significant value to those who want to
influence, especially in business. I'd like to say it's worth the
price of admission but would you think one CD could be worth $600?

Maybe not...it is...but maybe not. So I'll just say it's pretty
excellent and leave it at that....

Influencing the Long Tail

Finding the meeting point in the world between you and the universe
of people who would LOVE to do business with you, is the subject of
the next couple of CD's.

KEYPOINT: YOU are THE answer for a group of people out there.
I show you how to project the image and persona you need to project to
draw that group to you.

This portion of Science of Influence 61-72 is just too cool. It was a
lot of fun to synthesize the work that's been done in this area and
make it pretty simple to understand and just as easy to make real for
you.

Persuasion's Best Kept Secret

In Science of Influence Four, I briefly touched on MVD.
MVD is short for Most Valued Dimension.

No one (no one) had ever reported this phenomenon to the public
except ...me.

So for most people, it was so unusual that it went right over their
heads. But about 20 people wrote this year and asked a ton of
questions about how to calculate the MVD for themselves.

This is an incredibly potent persuasion tool that is waiting for
people to learn. This is NOT easy and it is NOT simple.

I have made it approachable.

If you really want to know WHY people pick YOU and YOUR PRODUCT,
this is the answer.
Once you know WHY people pick YOU, it is a lot
easier to project those FEATURES (NOT BENEFITS) to the public.

Once again, if I could say that this CD was worth the price of
admission.....but I won't. I'll wait for YOU to tell ME.


How do Mind Readers Know What You're Thinking?
The other thing people constantly ask is how I read their minds so
easily.
OK.

It's in CD 66. (THE ENTIRE CD IS HOW MIND READERS DO IT!)

The Mind Reading CD is *definitely* worth the price of admission, no
maybe's about it. It's frigging excellent.

Yes. I show you what to do, what to say, and how.

Enough said....you'll see. (And do listen to this CD numerous times.)

The Ultimate Power Factor in Persuasion

CD 67 discusses in detail the two most important factors in
persuasion, bar none.
In detail that I've never given this subject, you will gain an
awakening awareness to these two core concepts of behavior and the
keys to control of behavior.

Subliminal Persuasion & Perception

The 3rd most commonly requested information was "subliminal X."
Man, do people want to know about subliminal stuff and you should,
too, because it is the future of marketing and influence.
Sooooo....you get it one crystal clear hour where I pound out recent
research and what it means to how you will persuade, or not.

Fewer people ask for "recent research" unless we count "what's new
in persuasion," and then that is what the next program is about.

Current Research Gives You a 3:1 Edge

Current research in persuasion is voluminous and over the next two
CD's I cover a LOT of stuff quite quickly almost always with examples
and specifics for YOU.
New research is always intoxicating because it is stuff no one knows
about yet...because it is new.

And I love new stuff...

Eminently useful immediately.

You will like. You will put into use immediately. The final two CD's are pretty cool.

A Complete Guide to Analyzing Your Customer

For the first time ever, I show you how to analyze your customer.
The questions you want to ask YOURSELF about YOUR CUSTOMER (or the
girl or whoever) and then I show you how to utilize that analysis to
cause people to "change their minds" (and yes, their behavior).
Once again, cutting-edge research merges with real world
applications and makes you the master. (Well, maybe not after
listening just once...but, drill this stuff into your brain a few
times, and you will do very well, indeed.)

Science of Influence Volumes 61-72 will take you through the next
quantum leap.

It's not only cool, it's approachable, it's exciting, it's intense.
You will be the first to have almost all of this information. You
will be the first to use this information and I'm excited to be the
person who gives it to you.
