What does selling products like insurance, software, or appliances, have to do with job searching? According to Brian Ahearn, our guest speaker, selling is about persuasion and so is job searching, because in both cases, you want to hear “Yes!” Brian will introduce you to Robert Cialdini’s principles of influence (Liking, Reciprocity, Unity, Authority, Consistency, and Scarcity) and share ideas on how they can be used to get hired.
