We’re living through a trust crisis.
Audiences recognize even the best hidden pitch from a mile away, customers tune out, and “ethical marketing” has become a buzzword hiding high-pressure sales tactics.
So what is ethical persuasion — and does it influence without manipulation?
In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, I sit down with Patrick van der Burght, founder of Ethical Persuasion Training & Consulting, to pull back the curtain on what truly makes persuasion ethical. A touchy subject for me as I believe the term has been misused so many times. But, I had to know what it means and how to use it the right way.
Patrick shares the 3-question test that tells you whether your message builds trust or breaks it. He also gives us the science behind how your audience’s brain functions before they get to a “yes.”
It’s a struggle to use persuasion methods when selling without feeling pushy. Today’s conversation will shift how you think about influence, psychology, and integrity when it comes to selling in your business.
🎯 Watch now and discover how to turn persuasion into a partnership with your client and get your customers who say yes because they want to, not because they feel pressured.
