1 or 1.5 Day Course on the Art of Influencing and Delivering a Persuasive Pitch. Learn Established Methods to Convince Others of Your Cause in Any Conversation

In just about any interaction with others, you may find the need to persuade them of your ideas, your products or services. The ability to persuade successfully seems to be a fundamental quality of successful people. Take leaders, scientists, artists, politicians, authors, or any successful celebrity. They have got where they are by being able to convince people of their abilities, vision, knowhow and mastery of what they do, and those who are good at it do it on a massive scale.

Persuasion is all about having the right attitude. You cannot imagine a good persuader who is shy and constantly looks down. On the other hand, persuasion is not about hard selling something to someone at any cost, even at the cost of significantly annoying them just for a one-off sale. Good persuasion happens when you are totally convinced and happily accept the view of the persuader. Sometimes you may not even realise you have been persuaded, you just know the correct course of action. Of course, this action could have been suggested by the persuader who have influenced you unconsciously.

In short, persuasion is about having the right attitude as well as knowing a number of useful techniques that can be employed when interacting with others.

This course covers many areas related to persuasion such as understanding human psychology, how people make decisions, telling good stories, boosting confidence, emotional persuasion and so on. Each technique is presented with numerous examples in different settings. A variety of areas are explored such as one-to-one conversations, writing a pitch, giving a speech and writing and delivering a persuasive story.

Since persuasion is a general skill that touches on many areas of human behaviour, the best way to become better at is to address each area separately and practice it using isolated exercises. This is indeed the approach taken in this course as delegates get to focus on various areas in isolation until they become better in each of them. At the end, delegates are placed in realistic scenarios using a number of general persuasion exercises and are encouraged to use all their skills in synchrony.

In this highly practical course delegates will learn:
