How I Got Caught by an FBI Elicitation Technique—Even When I Knew It Was Coming!

🎙 A Moment I'll Never Forget! 🚨

During my latest interview with Jack Schafer, former FBI Agent, Professor, and Prolific Author of "The Like Switch" and "The Truth Detector," I experienced first-hand the sheer power of elicitation techniques. 🤯

We were discussing one of Dr. Schafer's favorite techniques "the presumptive statement" which plays on the profound human need to correct misinformation. I was aware of it, we talked about it in detail, and yet… I completely fell for it! 🙈

Here’s how it went down:

Dr. Schafer casually said, “You said you were from Saskatchewan, right?

Without even thinking, I immediately corrected him, saying, “From Alberta, but very close.”

And just like that, I walked right into it!

Even though I knew the technique, I still felt the "automatic" pull to correct the statement. It was a mind-blowing experience and one of the most impactful moments I’ve had in over 240 episodes of The Business Development Podcast.

💡 The lesson? Our need to correct can be so strong that we respond without even realizing it. It’s a testament to the power of psychological principles in communication and influence.

🔔 Watch for Dr. Schafer's full episode coming in 2025. It's packed with insights that will make you rethink how you approach conversations, both personally and professionally.
