How To Create Something So Fascinating That People Can’t Help But Be Drawn In – with Sally Hogshead

Sally Hogshead, Social Media, Women Founders

When I looked over the transcript of this interview, I noticed that Sally Hogshead used words like “involuntary” and “instinctive” to describe the drawing power of the triggers that she wrote about in her latest book, Fascinate: Your 7 Triggers to Persuasion and Captivation.

In the interview, I asked Sally to explain how each of the triggers works, but also to beyond and actually show how they can be used on the kinds of businesses that I know listeners in my audience are building. If you listen to this program, I promise you’ll be able to use at least 1 of the techniques she taught within the next week.
