Instruction manual
one
Start by explaining your position. Try not to be too emotional, do not prove something, namely, tell the story. Pay attention to the facts, give convincing arguments and do not forget about the details. Specify why these beliefs are specific to you and why it is important that others also believe in them. Try to do everything softly, unobtrusively, but intelligibly.

Explain to the interlocutor how your idea is useful to him, what he will receive by agreeing to your arguments. Opinions do not change just like that, it is necessary for something, and it is important to focus on the benefits of the one whose views you are trying to change. The more pleasant the offer, the greater the chances, but you should not deceive, speak only the truth, do not embellish it, do not exaggerate. Interest the interlocutor with a proposal, convince him that a new vision will come in handy.

Listen to what you are being told. The opposite position may have disadvantages, but to notice them, you need to know the opinion of opponents. Analyze information, look for weaknesses. And also, being attentive, you will form a positive opinion of yourself as a person. Today, people often interrupt and speak themselves, and very rarely know how to understand the person they are talking to. Therefore, even noticing inaccuracies and deficiencies in the theory of another, do not rush to immediately spread them, give the opportunity to negotiate.
4
Ask questions. The disadvantages of the position are better not to find independently, but to give this opportunity to the interlocutor. Ask, specify, and you will notice how controversial moments in the answers themselves will manifest and be noticeable. When a person draws conclusions himself, they are more valuable to him than those presented by someone. Prove to the person you are trying to convince, the correctness of your position, through the realization that his views are not true.
5
Do not go on insults, do not raise your voice, be restrained. Even if everything is not going the way you want, if the interlocutor does not stand on your side, there is no need to try to influence him morally, keep calm. Any feelings will only spoil the dialogue, make it not productive. Sometimes it’s easier to step back for a while, think over all the subtleties of the question, and then start the conversation again. If emotions are given free rein, there may not be a second meeting.

After each opportunity to change a person’s opinion, do work on mistakes. An attempt succeeded or not, but it is necessary to understand what was done right and what can be improved. Such an approach will help to spend the next time faster and easier. Learn from your experience to become a true professional. Regular practice will allow you to learn to convince anyone.
