If you ask me, the key to attracting more followers, fans, and “likes” is to post interesting stuff—that is, to fascinate people with the information you find. Over at the American Express Open Forum, I explain “how to be fascinating.”

Just posted an article about how to persuade people at the American Express Open Forum. Click here to read it.

Looking for some unusual examples of invoking consistency to persuade people. This is the concept that if you get people to sign something, verbally agree, identify with a value or type of person, then their desire to be consistent with those items mean that they will follow through. For example, if you tell people you’re concerned about the environment, then you’re more likely to participate in a beach cleanup when asked. Please send examples to guykawasaki@gmail.com.

I need an example that illustrates that you often have to enchant more than just the person you’re trying to enchant to try a product or service. There’s also parents, spouses, friends, and colleagues. In fact, you often have to enchant the whole “village.” Of course, you can also use this to your advantage where you get the whole village working on the person for you too. Please send any examples of this to guy@alltop.com.

I need an example of the use of data to prove a point to do something. The more counter-intuitive the data is, the better. Ideally, it would a brand’s experience. For example, XYZ Coffee Shops thought that no one would by sushi at its stores, but it tried it and the fifty samples were sold out in twenty minutes. The most popular item was uni. Please send an email to guy@alltop.com if you have an example of how data was used to persuade people.

Looking for some good examples of organizations who have achieved such a close relationship with their customers that their customers have “internalized” the organizations values. Not Apple, please. I don’t want too many Apple examples in my book. Do you have good examples of organizations who have achieved this level of influence with their customers? Please send to guy@alltop.com. Thanks!
