Instead, ask for their advice.

Marketing and psychology professor Robert Cialdini says that asking for “advice” has a positive association that makes people want to work with you.

Advice means that the other person joins your team. You become their partner-in-crime against whatever you’re asking them about.

Opinion, on the other hand, makes the other person look inward. They focus on themselves, and they forget about you.

So, next time you talk to someone and you want input — be smarter and ask for their advice.
