Win a tiny yes before you ask for the big one

Homeowners asked to put a large, ugly safe-driving sign on their lawn mostly refused, but about 76% agreed if someone had asked them two weeks earlier to display a three-inch sign for the same cause, against roughly 17% asked cold. The small yes changed how they saw themselves: as people who support this. So don’t open with your biggest ask; get a small, related yes first, then build on it.

πŸ’‘ Why it matters

People who have already said yes to a small, related request are far more likely to say yes to a big one, because they now see themselves as someone who backs you.

Keep snacking
