Millions of copies of his books, Contagious, Invisible Influence, and The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone’s Mind, are in print in over 35 countries around the world.. Words are how we persuade, communicate, and connect. But certain words are more impactful than others.
Everyone has something they want to change.
Salespeople want to change the customer’s minds.
Managers want to change employee behavior.
Leaders want to change the way an entire organization does business.
But change is hard. We persuade and cajole and push and push, but even after all that work, often nothing happens.
How can we generate more word of mouth for a product or initiative we’re working on?
Berger, Ph.D., reveals the secret science behind word-of-mouth and social transmission. Discover how six basic principles drive all.
Our world has recently undergone unprecedented change at a rapid pace. From remote work and online retail to shifting customer needs and employee mindsets, many things are different than they were before.
