Win them over

Flattery may get you far, but it’s not the only route.

The ability to influence and persuade people is one of life’s most valuable. When we can’t, or don’t want to, resort to pleading or bribery to get our way, we need our request to sound like an offer they can’t refuse.

Whether convincing a colleague to take on a project, a customer to pay more or your partner to see a particular film, there are a range of ways we can win them over. It starts with tapping into what makes them tick.
