1.Whether your audience has the intelligence to be persuaded by thinking about your argument or are they too uneducated/stupid/ill-informed and are just tricked because you speak well.
2.Using fact and intelligence as opposed to wildly emotional and fantastic claims that are not based in fact.
3. The persuader's motive for the persuasion, is it just to play "devil's advocate", is it something that they believe or are trying to communicate, are they arguing a point that they are actually opposed to and are persuading because of money.
Some stuff to start with, hope it helps.

I think it's vital to consider whether or not what you are trying to persuade the person to do is really best for that person. That's especially true if you are in a position of power.
Of course it's important to consider the suggestability of the person as well. Even someone who is competent may be unduly influenced if they are highly suggestable.

One is that people should make up their own minds.
