door-in-the-face technique  

Definición

  • Definition The door-in-the-face is an influence technique based on the following idea: If you want to make a request of someone but you're worried that they might say no, get them to say no to a larger request first. Although this approach may seem odd, psychologists have identified two reasons why a “no” in response to a large request often leads to a “yes” in response to a subsequent smaller request.
