In order to get a big request fulfilled begin by asking for somethings small if they agrees to a small favour they are more likely to accept the bigger request as well. For example, to begin with a person maybe just ask you to fill a survey form for a cause while later might ask you to donate a some amount for the same as well.<\/p>\n<p>This theory works on the human behaviours that states, we are more likely to fulfil a request of people we have had a small interaction with. This technique works as humans act according to the previous experiences.
