Being has very little to do with manipulating a person or deceiving, when we talk about convincing we are talking about effectively influencing the decisions of other people. When we talk about selling with relationships, persuading other people opens doors for us that would otherwise be impossible.
Let's keep in mind that we use this superpower all the time and how do we develop this superpower? First we must understand that no one is convinced by another person they do not trust, trust is based on honesty, knowledge and coherence between what is said and done, so if you want to influence other people you must first make sure you are a trustworthy person and this is very far from deceiving the person.
One of the keys that is within active listening is that you must listen more than you speak. People who persuade understand very well that convincing is not imposing on someone, convincing is achieved by connecting with people. Here you must use the resource of questions very well and then active listening, in this way you will understand very well and you will be very clear about what moves the other person.
When you transmit a message it must be clear and simple, when a confusing message unfortunately loses all its force. If you really want to convince other people you must express your ideas in a clear, concrete way and use examples that are super easy to understand, for this "less is more" applies.
A very important point that we cannot leave out when your purpose is to convince someone is that people trust in what other people consider valid, this means that you can back up your message with previous experiences or success stories of other people as well as testimony, in this way your argument will be unbeatable and you will convince the other person no matter what.
After understanding each of the above we can understand that the art of convincing is not a skill that anyone has, but it is a skill that can be developed every day, the more you practice in your effective communication you will have much more influence on other people, remember that convincing people is not winning the arguments, convincing the other person is getting them to see the value of what you are offering, from here you know that you must use this skill responsibly. Do you dare to try to convince someone?
