It can be difficult to convince the interlocutor. If a person feels that they want to change his opinion, resistance immediately begins on his part. In such situations, it is worth acting subtler.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to listen to others. To convince the other person, let him talk first. Suggest your idea and give him the floor. Thus, you will not give time to come up with arguments against your project, show respect for the interlocutor and get the information necessary to build a further conversation.
Step 2
Study your opponent's lines. Using their own words in your context will help convince the interlocutor. Highlight 2-3 adjectives spoken by the person and screw them into your own text with the reasons for your benefit. If this is not possible, use several active listening techniques. For example, show that you are imbued with the interlocutor's speech, and repeat after him the last or key sentence.
Step 3
If you want to convince the other person, try to use words in a positive way. Remove negative particles from your speech. Arrange your arguments so that they are perceived in a positive way. See your opponent's imagination. Verbally sketch him a picture that will turn out if he accepts your offer.
Step 4
Don't be aggressive. It is not necessarily expressed in words or actions. Closed posture, too intent gaze, impatient speech rate, displeased tone, nervous movements can all turn against you. To convince the other person, show friendliness, understanding, and confidence.
