Loyalty beyond reason


The phrase "loyalty beyond reason" was used in the program The Persuaders by ad man Kevin Roberts to describe his goal of winning and keeping consumers. Roberts studied members of cults in hopes of understanding more about the nature of attachments so that he might apply what he found to brand promotions.

How does Roberts' strategy square with Dale Carnegie's advice, "Get the other person to do what you want them to by arousing their desires"?
