Overview:

Influence and Persuasion – this is not manipulation; it is learning how to talk smoothly without arguments to get others to buy in to your ideas and suggestions. It is about helping others make the right decision. Influence and persuasion are constantly used effectively in management, sales, presentations, seminars, negotiations and everyday informal conversations to get people to understand the benefits of following your way. 

Why should you study influence and persuasion?

Two Reasons:

  1. Because we all need to get more comfortable selling our ideas and convictions. 
  2. Because we all need to try harder to understand what others really want.
