It is not always easy to convince someone to accept someone else's point of view. Each person has his own opinion, which he is sometimes ready to defend, even contrary to common sense, although to convince some it is enough to give weighty arguments, but some are generally ready to take their word for it. In any case, persuasion is a kind of art worth learning.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to convince someone, you must first of all believe yourself in what you are talking about and in what you are convincing. If a person does not fully believe in his words, it is felt, and trust disappears.
Step 2
In the course of the speech itself, in no case do not use such words and phrases as "probably", "most likely", "maybe", and the so-called parasitic words: "well", "in general", "shorter" and others … Try to choose perfect verbs, for example, the statements "it is obvious to everyone" or "surely."
Step 3
During a conversation, do not raise your voice - they will probably not believe you if they hear a different tone or manner of conversation. Words spoken in a calm, everyday voice often have a stronger effect on a person than lively speech.
Step 4
Remember, eye contact is a must when trying to convince someone. Try to look the person directly in the eyes, and do not look away if the interlocutor's question baffles you - even if you speak sincerely, the person may suspect a catch.
Step 5
Use gestures to reinforce what is said. Gesturing doubles the effect of the word, and often helps the person better understand what you are talking about.
Step 6
You can try to "talk" your interlocutor. For example, as soon as your opponent pauses, start talking with your reasons and facts. So your interlocutor will be forced to listen to you. Fill in any resulting pause with your arguments.
Step 7
Posture plays an important role in persuasion. If you start to prove something, stand up straight, look the person in the eyes, be open to communication. Do not shift from foot to foot - this will tell the interlocutor about your insecurity and what you come up with on the go.
Step 8
Control yourself if someone actively contradicts you. Always be calm and confident. Do not succumb to provocations and do not lose your temper.
Step 9
In the course of the conversation, use the maximum number of facts, and real life stories are quite suitable as evidence. Everything works well: names, dates, witnesses, numbers, photographs, videos. Be short and clear about facts without using long phrases. Repeat your reasoning several times during the conversation.
