I also mention some individuals and companies that have effectively used the unity principle to appeal to their audiences, and how you can do the same.

Our guest today is Jim Crimmins, author of 7 Secrets of Persuasion: Leading-Edge Neuromarketing Techniques to Influence. Jim is a professional persuader and has an impressive background of academic and real-world credentials.
