Emotional Detachment and the Zen of Golf

By Mark Morgan Ford | 03/30/2009

By Paul Lawrence | 03/26/2009

Let’s say you’re a roofing salesman and you get a call from a homeowner who’s concerned about a leak in her ceiling. You do an inspection and realize that what she needs is a $500 repair. But $500 is a lot of money. So, to convince her to do it, you might use a persuasion technique called “perceptual contrasts.” You’ve probably read about it in ETR.
