Question

You are late in the preparation of the computer graphics for your final report and presentation. You run into a friend who is great at computer graphics just as he is heading out of the office at the end of the day and say, "I need your help for my project. If you could come back for two or three hours tonight and help me with these graphics, I will complete those spreadsheets you have been complaining about." Which influence tactic are you using with your friend?

Answer 1

The influence tactic you’re using with your friend is: Exchanging.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exchange is a soft approach to influence others by swapping favors. The influence tactic is about a promise that other will receive rewards if they comply with the request made. Like a favor being reciprocated. Creating, like in the example, a win-win situation, where if you friend helps you with the graphics, you will help him complete the spreadsheet he’s be having a difficult time with.
