Are you persuasive?

Post Reply New Topic

I have noticed that being very assertive about your logic and staying 2 steps ahead of a person, anticipating their future responses, are methods one can use to win hears and minds. You must be bold and unapologetic in order to master the art of persuasion. You can also get your point across by asking the right questions; thought provoking questions that allow people to examine themselves.

That's me in a nutshell.

Right on Tim! I like your style.

I think I'm quite persuasive. For some reason, I'm quite good at selling products I've bought, I don't know why, it's just, I seem to make products I like quite appealing. I bought a DS and persuaded 4 other people to buy one.
I've also persuaded people to visit sites and such.
And in arguments, even if my view isn't conventional and such. For example, several people after meeting me have became Atheists. I don't know if I should be proud of that, but I am anyway, from my views(I don't want to start a religious debate, lol).
I don't know. I think I'm persuasive.
EMZ=]

I'm not persuasive generally, I can't see myself working in sales any time soon

Persuasion; the gift of the gab.

I have an overabundance of gab, and an underabundance of gift.

I am not particularly persuasive; I just talk a lot.

I find myself to be very persuasive, but I don't think anyone else does.

I am not persuasive and am not interested in changing people's minds.

To the extent others are persuaded by me, it is because I am well-researched, logical and credible.

I think I am one who is not in the least bit persuasive, at least verbally; and I think one of the reasons for my lack of persuasiveness is that I sometimes come off as a bit harsh. I also have problems with asking the right questions and mentally anticipating the thoughts of anyone. I think I fare a little better in writing.

I'm pretty good at it in writing. Conversation's a bit too complex for me to apply that skill on the fly, though.

Haha. This.

And I've found that I tend to talk for hours, leave a conversation feeling that I persuaded someone, only to discover that I was just really annoying.

But in some situations, usually in writing, I an in fact be persuasive.
