Asking for Support to Get Things Done
If you need cooperation on something, ask for support before you go public. People want to follow thru on commitments.
In 1987, a social scientist named Anthony Greenwald asked voters on election-day eve if they’d vote.
100% said yes.
On election day, 86.7% of those asked went to the polls compared to 61.5% of those in the “control group” who were not asked.
