Compliance-Gaining Strategies – Situation Analysis
Various perspectives inform the decision-making process within the mindset of an individual, as well as the environmental influences exposed to the individual. For a friend to persuade another to join a sorority, one has to follow various persuasive strategies, as the decision will affect one’s life. Given the relationship status of friendship that exists among the two, three compliance-gaining strategies are effective. The approaches include: liking, positive expertise and positive altercasting.
Stemming from the foundation of friendship, applying the liking strategy is well-established to persuade the friend into joining the sorority. The procedure is by the positive influence that enables an individual to have a positive state of mind. Within that state, the making points on the benefits of joining a sorority would be well-received. For instance, one might take a friend to lunch, or dinner or any other fun-oriented activity to encourage positivity in thinking and therefore plausible positive feedback.
Positive expertise strategy is in use within the context of understanding the benefits of joining a sorority. Employment of this strategy requires that the individual recommending the organization has a positive experience in the club and understands the benefits of joining the organization. Further, one must understand the perspective of the individual enticed in joining the sorority, as the positive elements would orient the decision.

Finally, the positive altercasting strategy implicates the friend to reflect on his/herself as an individual. In this case, the persuading party would expressly highlight the relevance of the sorority to his nature. This persuasion would be through the individual reflecting on the mirror image of the fraternity to him/herself, and finally understanding the decision to join would be positive.
