Q&A for How to Persuade Someone

If they don't want to let you on something, let it be that way. If they're excluding you unfairly, then you may want to weigh the value of those relationships. But they may be leaving you out for a good reason, in which case, make peace with the fact that you don't (and can't) always know everything.

First try to help him/her as much as you can, then ask him/her.

It's normal to ask that. After all, the person is investing time and effort. Many people are more than willing to do something for the sole benefit of others, but it's good to know what's what. At the very least, the people in the project get the satisfaction of knowing they contributed to a project that helped others.

It depends on who the someone is. If it's your parents, promise them good behavior and grades.

Make sure they know your advice comes from a place of care and concern on your part. Try relating a story about someone else you know who either had a bad outcome from neglecting medical care or a great one that would've turned out poorly had they not gotten care. If you don't have a first or secondhand account, research their issue from reliable online medical sites, and forward or bring them the printouts that show skilled professionals giving the same advice. Another option is to get a home call by a doctor.

Gain their attention by outlining the benefits and features of the product. Tell them the positive aspects of the product and have ready answers for difficult questions about the product.

Come up with several good reasons why you would like to take ballet classes, such as it's great exercise and it's an ideal way to express yourself. If they are worried about the expense or level of commitment needed, do some research first so you have the facts to argue with rather than losing your argument because you aren't sure.

Tell the person how much you trust him/her, to somehow make the person thinks that you leaked your nudes only for that person. However, this might be really risky. Next time, make sure that the person whom you leaked the nudes is trusted by you.

Tell them firmly you do not believe it will be safe to do this. If they don't listen, and if you are under care from an adult, tell that adult that they are planning to do this and you believe this will not be safe. That adult will surely listen to you and prohibit your friends from going out.

Persuasion is not to convince by force. If someone thinks 2 + 2 = 5 and simply does not want to listen to your input, then it ends. Give up, leave the person be and focus your energy elsewhere.

When people are wrong, and you know but they don't, then some persistence may be needed, even pushing things a little across some boundaries, because you already now know they will agree once they'll have listened. However, if they insist on not listening, then it ends. It is not acceptable to insist beyond reason, even if you know they're wrong. Leave them be, focus your energy on someone else.

Many dogs are afraid of thunderstorms and bad weather. It is just as frightening to them as it is to some people. Like us, they are social beings. When you bring a dog into your home, it sees itself as part of your family. To be isolated from its family, the dog perceives as punishment, and that does psychological damage. Tell your parents the dog is afraid and needs to stay with its family to feel safe.

Emphasize that, with you as with any other, their project will get done and done well. Businesses have people running them, and people you can talk to. People like to do good for others, so emphasize that their choice to select you, will help you grow. Show enthusiasm but don't mention it, to some it's become a standard word that doesn't really persuade anymore. Be confident in your pricing. You can offer a discount, but why would you? The work costs what it costs, doing it for less doesn't always convince.

Talk to the family member and point out your current successes, responsibilities, and accomplishments. Ask him/her about their concerns. Then offer to perform a task or achieve a goal in exchange for play privilege.
