Persuasive Communication

Persuasive communication is a process in which people are persuaded to understand what one is trying to communicate. The main purpose of persuasive communication is to get the readers to support, believe, and act in favor of the presenter. It is very important to master the art of persuasive communication, as it helps in winning the support of others, unity the team, and encouraging them to work together.[1]

The three fundamentals of persuasion communication development.

The following are some of them:

Logos: The meaning of logos is to appeal to two logics of the person to whom you are speaking; nevertheless, you must realize that this is not absolute logic; it is the logic of the person to whom you are speaking.[2]

Pathos: Pathos is a Greek word that means "to appeal to emotions." Human beings are emotional beings, and facts alone do not usually compel people to act, therefore we must appeal to their emotions as well.[3]

Ethos: The third and most crucial component, Ethos, refers to authenticity. Why should people pay attention to us is a question we must ask ourselves. The first component of authenticity is competence and knowledge, and the second is honesty. People should either see us as experts or believe and take our remarks at face value based on our public lives.[4]

These are important things  to improve the persuasive communication skill

Understand the audience:

The audience is the person whom you are going to persuade and convey your message. So, the primary concern must be to know the audience before you present your thoughts and messages. You have to present everything in a way that must get the audience’s attention. You must be aware of the behavioral psychology of your audience. Your persuasive communication skills will help you understand your audience’s minds and persuade them in a way that your audience will appreciate.

Clarity of goal:

The proper plan conveys your ideas to your audience. Without planning, you come on the stage, addressed your audience, and then forget what you are going to say and struggle to arrange your ideas – this situation will spoil the whole thing. Your persuasive communication skills will help you arrange everything properly and enable you to present yourself properly.

Speak confidently:

Confidence is another essential part of persuasive communication skills. The most important to speak with your voice and believe what you are saying. This will help you to speak with confidence. When you are speaking with confidence, it will be easier to persuade the audience or the client.

Mind, attitude, and body language:

communication is the body language and attitude are essential as they will create a great impact on the audiences’ minds. A polite attitude, listening with patience, and talking with a confident and persuasive tone will enable you to reach the goal or convince your client.[5]

At work, these are the four essential steps to persuasive communication

1. Make an emotional connection with your audience

Decision-makers have specific motives for making decisions, and if we delve under the surface, we will always find emotions at work. Emotions are crucial in persuasion, and good persuaders recognize this and respond to them in two ways. First and foremost, demonstrating one's own emotional commitment to others. Second, have a thorough understanding of the audience's emotional state and modify the tone and strength of your arguments accordingly.

2. Establish trustworthiness

Credibility in the workplace is built on experience and relationships. People have a high degree of competence in the subject if they have a track record of solid judgment or have demonstrated that they are knowledgeable and committed to the proposals presented. They've proven time and time again that they can be relied upon to listen and act in the best interests of others.

3. The objectives in a way that identifies areas of agreement with people who want to persuade you

It is the process of discovering shared advantages in which it is vital to determine the objective's tangible benefits to the persons being persuaded. If no common advantages appear to be readily apparent, it is preferable to alter the location until a shared advantage is discovered. The finest persuaders spend time discussing the concerns with their peers. Collect crucial information through talks, meetings, and other kinds of communication. They're ideal for listening to music. People should be questioned and ideas should be tested with reputable contacts. Before they even begin convincing, the process compels them to change or compromise their own plans. They evolve through this attentive, questioning approach.

4. Use colorful language and persuasive proof to bolster your arguments

Persuasive people use examples, stories, analogies, and other techniques to bring their points to life. The persuader's point of view is given a persuasive and real quality by vivid word imagery.[6]
