We all like people who are like us. So, it’s no surprise that mirroring our conversation partner’s behavior will both make them like us more and be open to our ideas.

Indeed, we all want to persuade, whether it’s to watch the movie we want, close that customer or donor, or get that no-longer special someone out of our life.
