In our daily interactions with others, we make suggestions or requests with the expectation that they will be done. This is not always the case as people may not always agree with us. We therefore have to utilize our skills of persuasion to be able to convince them to see the sense in our side of the story.
My husband Nate and I both grew up in Massachusetts. We were introduced by a mutual friend and months later our relationship ensued. We dated for 3 years and soon after got married and for 8 years now we have been happily married. Last year however, rent sky rocketed and we had to adapt to the changing situation which brewed arguments about where we were going to move to. The rent in the neighboring estates was also quite high and therefore was impossible to find an affordable house to move into.

I tried to convince him that we should move across the border because of the benefits that would come with such a decision. Nate however refused and argued that it was out of the state and too far from work. I pointed out that we did not need to move far into the state but settle on the outskirts just over the border. I noticed that he was starting to light up to the idea which was a clue that persuasion was working. I therefore worked out a time frame and mapped out the area with shortcuts and time savers. In the whole process I kept reinforcing the idea of lower rent, a better cost of living and cheaper car insurance. I also insisted on the benefits of sign and drive, a favorable first time home buyers program and not to mention a wide variety of loan options. All these were enough to convince him to move across the border which under other circumstances he would not have thought about doing so.
In conclusion, persuasion is an important skill to have because through it, we gain influence over others and convince them to follow our course and agree to a commitment. It also helps us to comprehend the truth in a situation and come to an amicable conclusion that is likely to be of benefit to the parties involved.
