How to persuade an audience
“Giving credit to him, I managed to persuade him”
“Giving credit to him, I managed to persuade him”This sentence means that before starting a discussion in which we focus mainly on the motives of each one, without listening to the other part, normally, it ends in an anger in which nobody gets what they want.
However, if we think more creatively, instead of arguing we ask questions whose answer is towards your goal, but since it is the other party who gives the answer, you will feel victorious thinking that you have solved the problem, but in reality, we guide them for our benefit.
“Use logic”
Trying for a day not to allow anything to persuade you helps us see the amount of information we receive daily that, in many cases, it reaches to persuade us and we obey their orders. To use logic implies to solve any persuasion thinking why? And, are there other ways?
“Do not ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”
In this case, country is taken as a continent, which it refers to anything.
This same example can be passed to a person who spends a lot of money and at the end of the month they realise that they make ends meet. Either your expenses control you, or you control your expenses.
“You win a discussion when you convince an audience, you win a fight when you dominate your enemy “
In ancient Rome, Cicero, jurist, politician, philosopher writer and Roman orator, upholded there were three steps to persuade an audience:
– Simulate the emotions of your audience
– Change your opinion
– Make them act
Great speeches throughout history have been compared or have been created using the three steps that Cicero postulated.
Finally, another way to persuade is to offer your audience five different options, which should be expressed indicating the most extreme the first and last ones, and some more appropriate to your decision and less extravagant in the middle.
Whereupon, the most likely will always be that the public addresses to the least extreme options and the closest to where you want to take them
“But wait, there’s more”
To finish persuading an audience offering “even more”.
