Persuasion Friday 3-16-12

I'm pretty good at persuading people. Whenever I want something that someone says I can't do or have,I always give them logical reasons why I should get what I want. An example of this would be when I want to go to Starbucks after school. If my brother who picks me up doesn't want to go, I'll say that if he takes me I'll pay for him. This usually persuades him to take me and he ends up paying. Another tactic I use is bringing my good grades into the subject. For example, if I tell my dad that I got an A on a test, he'll be more likely to let me get my way. My last technique would be begging. This technique is not the best to use and often doesn't have a great outcome. But if it does run it's course well, I would be a happy camper. Overall there are times where I don't always get what I want, but when I put these tactics into effect I feel pretty confident in persuading people!
