We all need to ask for favors from time to time, but sometimes it gets hard to ask knowing you’ll get a “yes.”
Ryan Seacrest shared that in order to get someone to do you a favor, there’s a technique you can use called the “Foot in the Door” trick.
Here’s how it works:
ASK FOR A VERY SMALL FAVOR FIRST.
If you are needing a big favor, like a ride to the airport, you can ask someone for a smaller favor, like “can you help me zip up my suitcase?”
When they say yes, this could be the foot in the door opportunity to ask them for a ride. Since they are helping you already with this smaller task, they are more likely to say yes to the next thing that is a bigger favor.
