Persuasive Communication:
Psychology of Persuasion

How to make others feel good
about your ideas?

This course is for salespeople that want to learn how to better influence their clients’ decisions. Getting your message across is one thing. Convincing the other person often requires a lot more effort. Persuasion plays a key role in your ability to influence others and achieve results. You rely on our persuasive skills to convince our customers to sign a contract, to get support from our colleagues for a new project, or to convince your managers to invest in a project.

Description
