Be a copycat. If you want a salesperson to come down on a price or a coworker to pitch in on a project, try mirroring his or her body language and speaking style whenyou make your request. In a recent study,strangers were far more likely to grant a favorto a researcher who mimicked them this way. Why? Folks like to help out other people who they think are just like them.
