this is the amount of time we spend at work engaged in persuasion and influence activities, regardless of our role.
Research conducted by Daniel Pink* has shown that no matter what their job, workers spend an average of 41% of their time engaged in persuasion and influence activities. That's 24 minutes of every hour or 15 hours of every week lost to persuasion and influence attempts.
Now multiply that over the course of a year. Now multiply that by the number of people in your team or staff that you employ.
How much time are you losing every year??
What if you and your team understood the science behind persuasion? What if they were able to be more efficient, effective and successful in their persuasion attempts? What would that mean to your business?
At Thistle Consultancy and Training we can introduce you and your team to the science behind effective and ethical influence and persuasion.
We have partnered with Dr Robert Cialdini (recognised internationally as the ‘godfather of influence’) to become a founding member of the Cialdini Institute and one of only a very small number of Cialdini Certified Coaches in Australia.
