The 7 Principles of Influence & Persuasion and How These Win Business for Brokers
Course Outline
In Hong Kong’s fast-evolving insurance landscape, technical expertise alone is no longer enough to win and retain clients. Success today depends on your ability to influence decisions, build trust, and communicate value in a way that resonates.
The 7 Principles of Influence & Persuasion and How These Win Business for Insurance Brokers is a dynamic, hands-on session that uncovers the science behind why clients say “yes.”
Adapted from Dr. Robert Cialdini’s renowned research, this session shows how the seven universal principles can be applied ethically and effectively within the Hong Kong insurance market and beyond.
Through case discussions, and practical exercises, participants will learn how to elevate client conversations, strengthen relationships, and turn influence into tangible business outcomes. This is not about manipulation! It’s about mastering ethical persuasion to serve clients better, stand out in a competitive market, and close more deals with confidence.
