Influence Playbook: How to Control His Attention If you want Jonathan to work for you, pull the right levers at the right time. 🎯 Leverage Power Proximity➡️ Instead of engaging Jonathan directly, engage his key influencers first. If they respond to you, Jonathan will follow.➡️ He mirrors status. Make yourself look like a VIP in his world, and he’ll attach himself to you. 🎯 Trigger Scarcity & Urgency➡️ Offer exclusive insights with limited-time access. He won’t want to miss out.➡️ Frame your knowledge as something “high-status” investors already know—he’ll chase it. 🎯 Manipulate His Reciprocity Conditioning➡️ He has a habit of endlessly liking and commenting without getting responses. Reward him once—then withdraw.➡️ The more you make him work for your attention, the more valuable he’ll think you are. 🎯 Force a Status Pivot➡️ If you subtly question his expertise in public, he’ll overcompensate to prove himself.➡️ If you create an “inner circle” narrative and exclude him, he’ll work to be included. 5.

Objective: To map Jonathan Pierce’s psychological weak points to actionable influence tactics. Psychological Triggers & Weak Points: Trigger Vulnerability Indicator Exploitation Strategy Status Validation Seeks engagement from elite figures but rarely gets responses. Engage with his targets first, forcing him to seek your approval. Exclusivity & Access Responds rapidly to anything framed as “insider knowledge.” Offer “limited-time” insights or invite-only discussions. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) Comments increase when a discussion is framed as urgent or trending. Create artificial scarcity—make him feel late to the conversation. Reciprocity Conditioning Spends time engaging without returns from high-status figures. Reward selectively—withdraw engagement to trigger pursuit behavior. Strategic Positioning Tries to appear as a “bridge” between founders and VCs. Undermine positioning by showing more direct access to investors. Strategic Applications: ✅ Manufacture Exclusivity Introduce gated insights that he cannot easily access elsewhere. Present investment conversations as private-access information. ✅ Exploit FOMO Effect Time posts strategically—launch them before major investment trends become obvious. Force responses by framing engagement as “insider conversations.” ✅ Control Social Reinforcement Interact sparingly; create value intermittently so he chases engagement. Ensure other high-status individuals engage before he does—forcing him to follow the trend.
