YESCALATE® Tip # 8 The Fastest Brain Trigger “SUPPLY”
Last week we focused on the fact that
compliments release dopamine in the brain.
And I suggested you look for opportunities
to say “You Made a Smart Decision…”
And that Limited Numbers, Deadlines and Penalties
can trigger people in a negative way if we
don’t give the reason for them.
Remember my phrase:
It’s “BS” if there’s no “BECAUSE”.
If you are going to set a SUPPLY LIMIT
you are best served by giving the valid reason
causing the limit (the “BECAUSE”)
and by having a third party (not you) set the limit.
.. without giving a reason you increase
the likelihood that people will say
“Well, that’s just BS.”
“Because” is a trigger word in our language…
and it indicates “there is a reason”.
Research suggests that by using
the word “BECAUSE” you can
increase compliance to the
same requests by up to 200%.
Remind your Team to give Clients “the BECAUSE”
when making requests…
“It’s BS if there’s no BECAUSE.”
Requesting data … “Because…”
Asking for a call back… “Because…”
Setting a deadline… “Because…”
Providing a discount… “Because…”

| Give the BECAUSE. |
