When I was speaking with the team this week, I mentioned author Dan Roam’s strategy for convincing people to change their ways. He suggested leading with data (i.e. facts), which leads to a change in one’s thinking and beliefs, which will then change one’s actions—aka they will change their website to use Bridge.
Yet, we can’t "lead" with too many facts, because as the authors of the book Rethink point out, that is like ...

When we think of Valentine's Day is it about romance? Gratitude? Love, or just Love of chocolate ? I keep calling it Mother's day, so we pose the question: Is this a psychological slip? As I am a mother, is this just wishful thinking? Can we include Mom's?

How you can save:
