5. LIKING: People prefer to do business with individuals they know and trust. Smith will illustrate how building genuine relationships and fostering likability can significantly impact one’s success in various professional settings.

6. SOCIAL PROOF: When uncertain, people tend to look to the actions and behaviors of others for guidance. The book will highlight the power of social proof and how leveraging it can influence decision-making processes.

7. UNITY: We are naturally drawn to those who share our beliefs and values. Smith and his co-authors will emphasize the importance of finding common ground and fostering a sense of unity to build strong connections with customers or clients.
