From his Website:
Dr. Robert Cialdini, author of the groundbreaking book, Influence, and president of INFLUENCE AT WORK, is widely regarded as the “Godfather of influence” because of his years of scientific research on the psychology of influence. Dr. Cialdini’s certified influence training and keynote addresses translate his findings into practical and ethical sales, marketing, management, and business applications

I have his Persuasion book. It’s incredibly good.
Scott Adams (Dilbert) had this person identified weeks ago.
Well if he’s the guy who came up with the alt right meme he’s a fool.
Those persuasive tactics only work to a point. The electorate is furious. Americans feel their country slipping away.....heck even Mike Flynn is a Trumpocrat
He’s big on the notion that if you influence people to become part of the larger group they will not pay attention to their better senses
Hence all the effort to make it look like Trump is losing

And here is a Breitbart article about him:
That should get you started.
So this is the guy Scott Adams was probably talking about.
Is he the guy who came up with the idea you don't have to convince millions of citizens of your positions - just the few that can effect the situation?
Democrats don't debate illegal immigration with us - they have professionals write 'pity party' letters (* written out of Democrat War Rooms) from 'loving grateful illegals' to Donald Trump and our other elected Republicans..
It's why our elected officials never saw the Trump revolution coming... many of the letters they read 'from us' are fakes... AND NO PAUL RYAN WE DON'T WANT AN END TO GRIDLOCK - THAT'S A DEMOCRAT ISSUE. WE WANT YOU TO STOP THEIR CRAZY HORRIBLE LEGISLATION.
Ah! Hillary needs her own Goebbels to win! Of course!
Without an ultra-pro lie-spreader/propagator, she’s toast!
Scott Adams called him out weeks ago in an interview with Stephan Molyneux. It was about the repetition of the "dark" meme. The guys tactics won't survive exposure, They're too obvious, except to some FReepers who think they are avant garde and/or discovered America (Alt-Right nonsense).
Scott Adams in his blog says this guy is a mater persuader as is Adams and he refers to the Ciadini guy as Godzilla of persuaders. I think that means he does like the monster did in those 50 movies busts up lots of stuff.
Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) calls this guy the Godzilla of persuasion
Dr. Drew is now available. Trump should add him to the team an put him out there to continue making the case that Hitlery is slap NUTS!
“This is the guy who came up with the “All Criticism of Obama is based in RACISM!””
Bet he is the guy who came up with Hitlery’s latest... “Trump is a Racist” line
I know him.
His book is outstanding. Few books actually make you look at the world differently after reading them. I used the “commitment and consistency” principle on my job quite often with success.
Great book
Fifty percent of all democrats have IQs under 100.
After perusing the comments, websites, etc... My take away is that basically Cialdini is right, but there is one premise that escapes many readers, and perhaps practitioners of the Cialdini concepts.
What would that be?
Simply put - truth. If there is no truth then the responses just won’t be the same. It might work for a while but after lots of smoke, mirrors, fire (that does exist BTW), the untruthfulness breaks down the concepts.
The Republicans hire Political Scientists who can tell you how many Democrats there are on a block.
The Democrats hire Psychologists who tell them how to get more votes.
