How can you get more people to trust you?

Better yet, how can you convince them that not buying from you would be a mistake?

It all comes down to a psychological trait called herd mentality.

Have you ever noticed people tend to do things in groups, and behave in trends?

Think about how much of an impact peer pressure can have.

Marketers have even given this phenomenon a slightly slicker name too: “Social Proof”.

You see, “herd mentality” is not only found in everyday life, but it also applies to purchase decisions.

We don’t always act rationally, and in most cases we’re making decisions based on our emotions.

Have you ever gone shopping on an empty stomach – or how about when you were full – Notice anything different about how you bought?

Have you ever asked family for a great doctor recommendation?
