You don't.
God does.
Our job is to
+ Tell our story (witness)
+ Discuss what is on their heart
+ Answer questions
+ Pray with and for them
When you feel they are ready direct them to the RCIA Inquiry group at their local parish.
They can go and ask any questions they want.
There is no obligation to become a Catholic and they can stop at any time.
With love in Christ.

Knock on the persons door and tell them they have been living a life of sin, quote some bible crap about how good heaven is, ask them if they think going to heaven would be nice, tell them when Jesus returns to earth everyone will be judged however those without sin will go to heaven, so all the person has to do is live and die by a book that is over 2000 years old full of tales to be sure to make him fear his new creator.
Alternatively you could do something worthwhile like sponsoring a child in Africa, then you might actually "save" someone literally.

No one should ever force someone else to be another religion. Don't convert them unless they willingly say yes, and its not against their free will.

You don't. If they are meant to be Catholic the Lord himself will draw them. The key is to be the best examples and put forth the real Jesus that we receive in Holy Communion.

First find the funniest joke you can.
Now practice telling it without laughing.
Once you can do that you can go ahead and explain the Trinity and the infalibility of the pope.

You don't. God does. In the waters of the font of the Sacrament of Holy Baptism.

If you know someone interested in joining the church, take them to the church and ask about the RCIA.

Want my advice? Don't even try. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, its a human right.
