You agree with me, right?

Fellow speaker,

To persuade your audience:
  • Aim at a narrow target - keep your discussion focused on your point
  • Tell a story - tell the audience about something that gets at the feeling you want to get across
  • Quote - make your point by quoting what someone else said
  • Use the rule of three - make two true points and follow that up with a third reasonable statement you want the other person to believe
Persuasively,

Tim
