First, be sure about what you want from the people you're trying to persuade to your point of view.
Then approach the matter pleasantly - never argue - you want people to agree with you, not be browbeaten into saying ok or you win.
Next, quickly run through possible obstacles to your stand, and have answers ready.
'Spin' your point of view so that it seems entirely logical. Throw in a few buzzwords and catchphrases to dazzle if applicable.
Back up your points with whatever evidence you have.
Don't get caught up in the heat of the discussion - people are entitled to their opinions, you may not be able to change everyone's minds.
Slip in a major point under cover of arguing a minor one, or with such a snowstorm of technology that the point itself takes second place to the show - works well if it's a difficult policy change or work practice...
Structure your side of things in a logical fashion - you're effectively trying to 'teach' your attitude, so you should start from agreed points and shift them to the more controversial points slowly.
Sheer persistance will win the day - not volume - if you're sure you're right.

Your verbal skills are allied to your skills at written English and pronunciation. What you are asking is how do you become a salesman. First you ask the customer what they want and what are the things that turn them away from a product or service.You then tailor your description to their needs.You need to know what you are selling in great depth to make the initial description. Take it from there as you really do need to be yourself, do not lie about the product, do not make promises that you cannot keep. A lot of people think that salesmen must have the gift of the gab where in reality you must have the gift of the "listen".
Go to a library and ask for books about salesmanship and read a few. I have been a salesman for many years and adopted these suggestion and reading the books helped about 50%.
Best of luck and happy Christmas.

What are you selling? Persuading them to do what? I believe that if you truly believe in whatever it is you are trying to "argue my points" about, you be much more convincing.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, religious beliefs, and lifestyle until it affects the lives of others. I don't give a damn if you agree with me. What does it matter usually? And can it be proven? And what qualifies as "proof?
The best I can hope for is to accurately provide you with enough info so that you can come to your own conclusions.
One thing you must do is improve your English, unless you a selling crack (crackheads dgaf about grammar!).

to be persuasive firstly you need to be completely clear about what it is you are trying to persuade someone to do
So don't write questions like you were texting a friend it may confuse those of us who aren't
