We learned one today in English: repitition. Repitition is a means of persuasion in the story Julius Caesar and when you think of it politicians use that method quite often. Could we be over-exposed to it, perhaps?

Confidence. You should sound and look like you are sure of what you are saying, even if you are not. Also, add a lot of details to make it believable, even if they are false. Think politicians: they don't usually fulfill their promise, but if they sound like they will, people would vote for them.

It seems to work on a lot of people. Repitition is hypnotic in ways. Brainwashing is done through repitition. Repitition can also damage meanings- look up "cliché."
Body Language is a method of persuasion as well.
So are "expert testimonies."
To effectively persuade, you must know your field well enough to squash any ifs ands or buts as soon as they arise.
You can also appeal to peoples' emotions and desires.

It would depend on who was doing the repeating. The wrong person would just get on my nerves; and not be able to persuade me into anything.
