How do you develop/master your persuasive skills?

Question

..to the point of you can easily persuade someone into helping you and stuff.

and other skills you need for business administrative assistant or personal assistant.

Answer 1

Pleasant tone of voice, friendly, helpful, and the emotions do come across too, when you really mean it.

Answer 2

Your statement of "your persuasive skills" itself confirms you have some skills to develop. Good. It's only self-confidence. For your confidence to build up, you have to have a thorough knowledge of whatever point/subject you try to persuade others. For example, there is a salesman/ a rep. How can he sell his stuff unless otherwise he has a thorough knowledge of his product. Based on this knowledge only comes out his well augmented proposal to the buyer. There he takes his product into the buyer's confidence and sells his product. It is the same with those skills required for a BAA/PA.

Answer 3

There's no quick fix for this generaly people take leadership courses but I'm quite elecuant meaning I know how to use unusual words to say something similiar.
Your best bet is to practise by talking to people but always keep a calm and composed behaviour and always remember some people are particular about behaviour so just try and wing it.
If you need more info I'd say you should talk to motavational speakers and phyciatrists for help on this matter.
Hope you get there and goodluck.
