Roger Dooley, Neuromarketer, author of Brainfluence the book and host of the Brainfluence the podcast, was the opening keynote speaker at Conversion Jam 4. We caught up with him later in the day and talk about the persuasion slide, creating a “liking effect” and dealing with the conscious and non-conscious parts of our brains.
Bart Schutz was the closing keynote speaker at Conversion Jam 4. He’s the author of Wheel of Persuasion. We have a chat about the wheel and it’s 200 plus persuasion techniques and about how at times you perhaps need to add friction to increase conversion rather than remove it.
