The view of the work studio at the end was mind blowing, and really fits well the video message

Our latest RSA Short has gone live! Bestselling author Dan Pink shows us how to influence others more effectively; it's as simple as A-B-C. Watch it here RSA Shorts - The ABCs of Persuasion

Let's see that little bitch at minutephysics follow that.

[@madmags13]

Marvelous illustrations!

[@Rex1987]

this is incredible! i love this animation.

[@chickensdontclap147]

Put that coffee down! Coffee is for those who express their ideas with clarity!

[@surrenderkitten6582]

I wish you had added "Is it possible that the other person’s way of seeing things will be better?" You have to be willing to be convinced as the other person may have better ideas. sometimes rather than plug the holes in your boat, you jump ship to the other person's viewpoint. but this was a nice start, Mr. Pink. My invitation: just meditate more to see deeper and more expansively.

[@jennifersierzant2152]

Well done!!!!

[@AdrianCarranzaBarber]

keep up the videos, i love them

[@theslothmonkey]

Awesome video.

[@KevinFitzMauriceEverett]

Good helpful information.

[@piggyskate]

amazing animation

[@yarbles]

Love the content, but felt like the animation had too much conflicting text for me to fully comprehend the dialogue, due to cognitive overloading.

[@FUNPOV]

GREAT PERSPECTIVE WIN

[@Curlyhairedasian]

Dang, the animation got so much better

[@insaafdawood4182]

I really like the idea behind this series but find that there is too much "noise" in the video. Too much detailed drawings and captions and things that take away from the message. I find myself struggling to focus because I'm constantly looking all over the place because I don't want to miss anything. Maybe simplify the future drawings?

[@amateurish]

Amazing animation, but I found it impossible to both listen to the speaker and read the barrage of cartoon captions at the same time, at least without using the pause button (a lot!).

[@Sparkable]

Very cool perspective - plenty will find this useful for #marketing

[@josephinewinter]

it's the drawings i love

[@norabruno_com]

This one is bloody good

[@Rene86]

To much info, to much happening on screen, the old ones are much better.

[@ManiMasuria]

We’re all in sales now... a home truth!

[@6789josie]

Is there any way I could get a transcript of this video?

[@RemotePossibilities1]

Yes -- next to the Share button, below the video, click More and then click Transcript. If you want to keep the text, you can then select and copy it.

[@travxlx464]

good video though .... thoughtful .....concise

[@JuliaHelen777]

Is it as short as fast. I guess "a little bit more human"? Hmmm...not in my case. Yet it has a tinie-minie point. Congratulations! ;)

[@travxlx464]

It is a two edged sword. The problem with everyone being in sales means that everyone becomes a commodity. Even if you resist this, there is no way to avoid being sold. Ethics goes out the window. To believe that your competition is going to operate within certain unwritten boundaries is unrealistic. The ABC's of persuasion is marketing. Sales may seem like a more benign term with less negative connotations, but with every single thing being a potential sales item and every single person having to be a sales rep., there is no way to stop it from degenerating into a skin trade once that slide occurs.

[@bj0rn_509]

Apparently my biggest problem is that I lack buoyancy. Got to do something about that.

[@HenriqueCartaxo]

I really love RSA's work, but this one is just way too fast. Don't worry about lenght, most of your audience will sit through a 10 minute video if they're following it.

[@SinisterSkyline]

This is fucking lovely.

[@strikeback1080]

"It turns out questioning your abilities is more effective than pumping yourself up." Interesting 🤔

[@Piitsi]

This is a fallacy of generalisation. Sales people think everything is sales, marketing people think everything is marketing, computer scientist view the world computationally. I resent the idea of generalising everything under one blanket by defining words to your own liking. Everything is sales.. sure by looking everything trough a narrow sales perspective. It might seem so, but just as well you could argue that everything is computing, self expression, society, relationships and so on.

[@jaspal99]

Life is like poker

[@MrJHDK]

By seeking the analogy that best suits himself and applying it to everyone he has failed at "attunement".

[@verapamil07]

The video is more about the persuasion than sales as in selling a product in old school way.. Also, how to convince others to see something in a different way.

[@OrbitalCafe]

I realize you're trying to improve the production value with the animated special effects, but I personally prefer the original drawing style best.

[@queuesnake704]

ALWAYS. BE CLOSING. ATTUNEMENT. BUOYANCY. CLARITY. Curate and focus in, eh? Empathy. Resilience. Humanity. Come to think of it, I was a pretty good salesman. A lot of it was just taking a customer by the hand and explaining where stuff is, a brief tutorial of what it does, and varied options. All too often, that human touch of empowering the customer with relativity, options, and control can make all the difference. Sex appeal and friendliness, however, work even better (dammit).

#sales

[@JaceVernon]

Check out #ydraw videos they create some amazing whiteboard videos

[@m07senAlghamdi]

More than fast bro

[@coollikeyodais]

That's it? Be human. If it was that easy everybody would be human.

[@PenelopeTobin]

Does it bother anyone else that an RSA Animate should be so lacking in females? Go on, play spot the woman! But maybe I'm just nitpicking here...

[@ashlynx1]

:P

[@tomaszsadowski6377]

bida

[@roidroid]

what

[@Ycopywrite]

Nice #whiteboardvideo check out ydraw.com they have some cool videos

[@VanNguyen-ns6ck]

Sorry but this video is not convincing enough for a video on persuasion. It's all over the place and there's way too much noise, I get it it's trying to mimic a sales pitch. But again, it's seems disorganized and misdirected. I like the artistic idea behind it but they're not trying to sell art with this video. I think it's definitely a miss opportunity on the message they are trying to convey.

[@Tschoo]

Geez RSA is the most left channel I know on here

[@SSonny-qs6kv]

There is no actual advice here.
