It’s a new dimension:

•How can you use persuasion profiles on your website, in your
emails, or in other channels?
Q5: How is it done?

Step 1: Review your Sales Strategy
Implementations

Marketeer

Step 2: You integrate with the PersuasionAPI
Cloud Services
1) Point to PersuasionAPI
Service
Your web server PersuasionAPI server
2) Dynamic adjustments on Page
based on PersuasionAPI adviceid
3) Hooks for user behavior
monitoring (log event, view event,
success event)
22

Example of adjusted page
•1: Log Client ID (e.g.
via dynamic image,
cookie, etc)
•2. Link(s) to log
success of the Sales
Strategy
•3. Hooks to log non-
responsiveness to a
Sales Strategy
23

Step 3: We log the success
• Based on the dynamic image and the link we can monitor the
success of each page served to a user.
• We will keep updates of the average performance of your
served page variations, and of the performance for each
client.
Normal Page:
A1 (Scarcity):
A2 (Authority):
A3 (Consensus):
Effect
24

Step 4: We improve our advice
• Based on the response of each client we will update our advice for that
user
• The new advice is a combination of the response of that client, as well
as that of other clients
