“Chunk your Ask…” (This Week.)

Use Brain Science to GET TO YES FASTER® 
Because the Brain is Predictable.
 
People often choose SAFE over RISKY.
and large commitments imply RISK.
 
Instead of asking for something big
break the ask up into a series 
of smaller commitments.

YESCALATE® Tip # 2 BREAK IT UP
 

Think about the people you need a YES from:
What are the first three things they have to do?
How can we get them in Motion?

One of the most successful political campaigns in history
did not ask for a vote for a specific candidate.

It asked voters to take out a pen and paper and
“Write down WHAT TIME you are going to vote…
…and write down HOW YOU’LL GET THERE.

A series of small commitments.
Because a thing in MOTION stays in motion.

Psychologists refer to the Cognitive Bias 
of Commitment and Consistency.

Productivity Experts tell us to “chunk down” the task.

So remind yourself to “Chunk Down the Ask.”

Break it up into a series of smaller asks.
Start Small. But START.
