Hello, I'm Leanne Elich, a Sales Psychology Strategist and Neuroscientist, Leadership Advisor, Author and Speaker. The CEO of Leanne Elich Consulting, a consulting and advisory firm specialising in ethical, human-centred sales strategies, business systems, processes & practices. We are on a mission to educate, develop and support exceptional businesses to understand the rich intersection of neuroscience and behavioural science with business. A powerful combination transforming businesses faster than thought possible.

Often described as an unshakeable optimist, I believe in a bright future and our ability to build it together, one brain at a time.
Captivated by the people and organisations that make the greatest and longest-lasting impact, my work has uncovered remarkable patterns in how people think, behave, and communicate in the environments where they operate at their best.

With a PhD in Cognitive Neuropsychology and a graduate of Harvard Business School and Harvard Medical School, I am considered a sought after expert in bridging the gap between science and business.

In 2023, I was thrilled to be awarded the 2023 Top 20 Women in Business and in 2024, I was honoured with the title of Master Neuroplastician by the Institute of Organizational Neuroscience.
My mission is simple but profound: Changing business, one brain at a time.

My passion for medicine sparked at age 5 when I was given the game Operation as a gift. I would recruit friends and family to be my patients.

My ambition to enter the medical industry propelled me from high school to university. I graduated from the University of Sydney and specialised in Radiation Oncology.

I worked clinically at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre and other global institutions. Motivated to take my career to the next level, I transitioned into commercial medicine and business development, which took me around the world.

In 2018, I launched Leanne Elich Consulting. We work closely with clients and offer a range of bespoke consulting, business, and executive coaching services in sales, marketing, leadership, and strategic management.

I love sharing knowledge, so I regularly contribute to local and national media outlets, including ABC Radio and the Sydney Morning Herald. I am also an honorary clinical fellow at the Queensland University of Technology, an international Keynote speaker and a Women in Leadership advisor.

Let's connect and explore how we can build a brighter future together, one brain at a time.

The Story of How Neurielle Came to Life  😀
As a neuroscientist, I’ve spent my life cracking the code on those sneaky thoughts and feelings that run our lives. 

But let’s be real, sometimes science feels like it’s speaking another language! You can throw data and diagrams at me, but they don’t exactly scream “exciting,” do they? So, I thought, why not jazz things up? 

I wanted to create something visual and vibrant that makes neuroscience dance off the page! And just like that, Neurielle was born to spark curiosity in everyone. Let’s make those neurons pop! 🧠✨

Today’s bite is about how your perception is shaped by framing. 
For example, referencing how lean a steak is will boost perceptions of quality.

Imagine two signs outside the same restaurant:
🍽️ “90% of customers loved our steak.”
❌ “Only 10% of customers didn’t like our steak.”
Both statements tell you exactly the same thing, yet they don’t feel the same.
Let's find out why...

FRIDAY FUN FACTS 🤡
Did you know... that specific numbers can sell a product better than round numbers?

A 2006 study by Schindler (Rutgers University) and Yalch (University of Washington) found exactly this.

They showed participants two versions of the same ad.

“It takes 119.5 seconds to pour the perfect pint.”
vs.
“It takes 2 minutes to pour the perfect pint.”

The result? 📈
Claims using specific numbers were rated 10% more believable than those using rounded ones.

Why did this happen? 🧠
Our brains associate precision with truth. Specifically, the “119.5 seconds” feels researched, measured, and real. Rounded numbers, on the other hand, feel like guesses.

When Guinness says it takes exactly 119.5 seconds to pour the perfect pint, we don’t question it; we assume they’ve done the research.

This is called Specific Number Bias.

➡️ Specific numbers signal credibility
➡️ Precision reduces perceived uncertainty
➡️ The brain interprets detail as evidence

FRIDAY FUN FACTS 🤡
Did you know...that using “productised” booking modules on your website can make a big difference? They’re likely to boost your conversions and keep your customers happy compared to those open-ended inquiry forms!

Why does this happen? 🧠
It’s all about making things easier! When you have a booking module with set options, potential customers can quickly see what works for them. It saves them the hassle of explaining their needs or problems in detail. Plus, if they have complex questions, they can easily schedule a call without filling out long forms first.

Not only does this approach increase the chances of bookings, but it also helps set clear expectations. When people know what to expect, they’re more likely to be satisfied with your service! 👍

Every year, the Black Friday and Cyber Monday frenzy sweeps across screens and shopfronts worldwide. Countdown clocks tick, stock bars flash red, and deals scream “ends soon.” For shoppers, it’s an adrenaline rush. For marketers, it’s a masterclass in human behaviour.

Understanding what truly drives customers during these high-stimulus moments can help businesses not only boost sales but also build relationships that last long after the discounts disappear.

🔸 Behavioural triggers that flip indecision to commitment
🔸 Profile-specific messaging cues that drive action
🔸 The role of timing and framing in exploding conversion rates

FRIDAY FUN FACTS 🤡
Did you know...that Spotify's annual Wrapped campaign is one of the most admired (and copied) campaigns around.

It’s dazzling, it’s addictive, it’s everywhere. But beneath the neon colours and hyper-personalised stats sits a behavioural science masterstroke.

Spotify taps straight into the Cocktail Party Effect, the cognitive quirk that makes your brain perk up the moment something is about you. Your name. Your habits. Your musical guilty pleasures, you swear you only listened to once. 🎶

Wrapped turns mundane usage data into a personalised, emotionally charged mirror, beautifully packaged for social bragging rights.

Check your own Wrapped and see what your brain has been up to all year. It may surprise you.🎁

And that’s a Wrap. Bring on the weekend 😉

FRIDAY FUN FACTS 🤡
Did you know...that priming your customers with value can increase buy-in by up to 267%.

Let's look at this brilliant example from Dr Robert Cialdini.

A Boy Scout was struggling to sell popcorn outside a supermarket. Their question was straightforward: “Would you like to buy some popcorn?” Only 15% said yes. Most shoppers had just spent money and weren’t in the mood for more.🍿

They then made one subtle shift and started with a values-based question rather than a purchase question.

First asked: “Do you support the Boy Scouts?”
Almost everyone said yes.

Then followed with: “Would you like to buy some popcorn to support the Boy Scouts?”

The results were dramatic. Sales jumped from 15% to 55%, a 267% increase. Some who didn’t even want popcorn still handed over cash, saying, “I don’t want popcorn, but here’s a donation.”💰

Why? Because once we "publicly" align ourselves with a value, we feel compelled to behave consistently with it.

The Hidden Flaw in Financial Rewards
What if I told you I’d give you $100 just for filling out a short survey? Easy money, right?

But what if I told you that you’d only get the money a month from now? Still interested? Probably less so.

This is a classic example of a cognitive bias known as hyperbolic discounting.

Why does it happen? 🧠
Back in the days, securing immediate resources (food, shelter, safety) was critical because tomorrow wasn't guaranteed. It’s not the case today, but you can’t fool evolution.
This means that a financial incentive loses its persuasive power the longer you have to wait for it.

What to do instead?🚀
Instant incentives: If you promise your clients a reward, give it to them as soon as possible.
Staged rewards: If you can't give clients the full reward at once, break the incentive into multiple payouts.
Non-monetary immediate benefits: Offer instant access to premium features or other benefits customers can use right away.

But remember... a smooth, enjoyable service will keep them engaged far more than a one-time reward.
