How to Persuade People with persuasive speech topics

Convincing people that your way is the best way can be difficult but is possible.

Steps

1. Wait for a good time to ask them.
2.Smile. Be polite, cheerful, and charismatic.
3.Show them all the benefits of your idea. (If possible, tell them how it will benefit them. That always gets their attention.)
4.Minimize any gain you stand to receive should the person choose your preferred course of action.
5.Prepare for any contradictions and be ready for any that you may not have thought of.
6.Don't be afraid to agree with the person a little. Say things like: "Okay, but..." or "Yeah except..." or just say yes but don't let them completely prove you wrong.
7.Try to find out why the other person is rejecting your preferred course of action. If you can find out why, it gives you a tactical advantage.
8.If you realize that you may have been wrong in one aspect then admit it. It will make you seem more trustworthy.
9.Ask them just to consider it and think about your idea, given time to think they may realize their mistakes.
10.Be generous with your opponent; give them something they want, and they will be more inclined to give you something you want.
11.Try not to appear to be going to great lengths to persuade somebody. In fact, you are most persuasive when your audience does not know you are attempting to persuade them.
12.At times, it helps to let your audience know that something is really, really, really important to you, and other times it does not; use discretion.
13.Most importantly, know when to give up. Your opponent may find you talking very annoying. If your opponent perceives you as a pest, it will make you much less persuasive in the future.
