In this short video, the speaker shares three practical tactics to increase persuasiveness when making requests. First, let the other person be the "first" to hear or share something, which taps into their desire to be ahead and makes them more attentive. Second, start a request with "because I know" followed by a positive attribute of the listener (e.g., reliability), anchoring the ask to a flattering quality and boosting compliance. Third, prioritize spoken communication—calling or meeting in person—over written messages, because hearing a voice creates a stronger human connection and enhances persuasive impact.

What to say to sound more persuasive. Number 1, make them first. Let them be the first to hear something, be told something, or share something with. It doesn't have to be groundbreaking news. It can be as easy as, "I just had a thought that I wanted to run by you first." People love to be first, and when you do it, it makes them more attentive and more likely to do what you ask. Number 2, begin your sentence with "because I know" and tag on a positive quality about them. For example, "Because I know I can count on you." Because I know you to be a dependable person. Because I know you're reliable. What you're doing is anchoring your message to a positive quality, making them much more likely to follow through. And number 3, no matter what you do, use your voice. You might think you've written the perfect email or the perfect text, but nothing will replace the human connection of hearing our voice. So call them, or even better, meet them face to face. You will always be more persuasive when you use your voice. So try that, but follow me.
