Comforts fall short because they pre-empt the request, and it sounds as if I am saying things I want to do, not that I mean it. If you do me a favour, I have an online competition where I want to win a big prize and I wonder if you would vote for me. Insert Name: I hope you vote for us in the contest.

Most requests are simple, but we tend to burden them with additional calls that are not necessary. Find out what you want and figure out how to ask for it in a few sentences. The point of this tip is that the argument for most of the tips in this post is to keep it short and sweet. Sources: 7
Mutual interest: there is a clear common ground between where they think they want to go and where they want to go, and they have an explanation for this common ground. They should listen to your audience's intention to tell you where they want to go. If you have a good head start and influence, they will let you get where you wanted to go. Sources: 4
People need to feel comfortable working with you and how you present yourself to them. You are looking for internal and external confirmations, validators and other means of confirmation to decide whether you can be trusted. If your audience has these kinds of questions about you in mind, it's your responsibility to go and know that they'll never come back and ask them again. Sources: 4
If you tend to shy away from it, focus on presenting your idea as a statement of interesting facts for the other party to think about. On the other hand, the presentation of your ideas without questions, because they require approval, makes them appear flawed and unconvincing. Sources: 1
The human brain loves repetition and pattern. So when we are exposed to an idea over and over again, we come back to it and accept it more often than we first heard it. Look confident and tell people without judging that you know what you are doing and who you are talking to. This leaves an impression that people want to support you in your efforts and are more likely to raise a dispute with you. Sources: 6
The best strategy is to know your subject before explaining it to a child. Once you understand what you are talking about, it will be fun and easier to explain, even if it is not immediately understood. If you explain yourself and the background to your subject, you can argue more convincingly. Being sincere and honest is crucial to being convincing. Sources: 1
Being persuasive does not mean manipulating or pressuring other people. Think of some of the most successful people you know. I guarantee that they are good at selling themselves, selling their ideas, and in short, they are also very good at convincing other people. Sources: 3
You don't have to tell the whole story or distort the truth to convince people to benefit from you, which can be problematic for manipulated people. By getting people to see your perspective more clearly, they will be more inclined to agree with you, and that is what persuasion is all about. Convincing is not compulsory, it is not deceptive, and it certainly does not harm the people who are persuaded. Sources: 6
Ethos appeals to the credibility and ethics of the speaker. Ethos includes authority, self-confidence and respect for a speaker's personality. In other words, in order to believe what we are told, we must believe that the speaker is trustworthy. Sources: 9
People make the mistake of developing an idea to help themselves, not the other party. Smart people have strong firewalls against adopting an idea. Convey an idea only if you can afford to get them to do what they want. Sources: 8
Do not make your idea comparable to another idea. If you suspect that fantasy is a future job that earns more money, don't offer an increase. If it's a fantasy you want to plant to have a youthful feel, stop. Set up something else - a real chance for public recognition of the role, for example. Sources: 8
This is the essence of the method advocated by Cialdini: it is not your message that matters, but the skill with which you shape your message. People become receptive to your message when they hear it for the first time. Work of persuasion is work of persuasion, or as he calls it, a learnable ability. Sources: 0
I have long yearned for this unattainable ability. There are countless books and college courses that claim to hold the key to persuasion.

Another supervisor frustrated me with the crap. I was young, enthusiastic and stormed into his office with a fantastic idea, presenting my facts and figures and waiting for him to agree with me if he disagreed. Demands for immediate answers put him on the defensive. After a series of failed attempts, I realised he had no problem with that.
