There are many techniques you can use to persuade people, one of the most powerful is repetition.

Repetition is a fundamental aspect of persuasion. It's a technique that's been used for centuries by everyone from politicians to advertisers to convince people to take a certain action or believe a certain idea. And it works because repetition helps to reinforce your message and make it stick in people's minds.

One of the ways repetition can be used effectively in business is through the use of images. Images have a powerful impact on our brains, and they can help to reinforce your message in a way that words alone cannot. For example, if you're trying to sell a product, using images of happy customers using that product can help to convince others to buy it as well. Similarly, if you're trying to negotiate a deal, using images of successful partnerships or collaborations can help to persuade the other party to agree to your terms.

Repetition is also about using the same phrases and words repeatedly to drive your point home. This can be especially effective in business, where you often need to communicate complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. By using the same phrases and words repeatedly, you can help to ensure that your message is understood and remembered by your audience.

Of course, You also need to make sure that your message is credible and compelling. This means providing evidence to support your claims, and using persuasive language to make your argument as convincing as possible.

Another important aspect of persuasion in business is understanding your audience. Different people are persuaded by different things, so it's important to tailor your message to the needs and preferences of your audience. This might mean using different images, phrases, or arguments depending on who you're trying to persuade.

By using repetition, images, phrases, and other persuasive techniques, you can increase your chances of success in business and achieve your goals.

The Democratic vice president Kamala Harris began the first — and possibly last — TV debate before the US presidential election with a power move, walking across the stage to shake Donald Trump's hand.

The two candidates had never met before the September 10 debate in Philadelphia, aired by ABC News.

"Let's have a good debate," Harris said.

"Nice to see you. Have fun," the former Republican president responded.

The exchange set the tone for the 90-minute debate to come: Harris controlled the conversation at times, tackling Trump on economic policy, crime, abortion rights, his refusal to concede his 2020 election loss and even his performance at his rallies.

Trump was measured at the start but grew more annoyed as the night went on.

Harris took the fight to Trump in a way that Joe Biden could not.

"You did in fact lose that election," Harris said of the 2020 race that Trump lost to Biden but still insists he won. "Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people," she said, referring to Biden's winning vote total.

A smiling Harris frequently shifted her message from Trump back to the American people.

"You will not hear him talk about your needs, your dreams and your needs and your desires," Harris said. "And I'll tell you, I believe you deserve a president who actually puts you first."

Trump was often on the defense, but he did push the main message of his campaign: inflation and immigration are causing Americans to suffer.

As he often does in his rallies and on social media, he made several false or unproven claims about migrants — including a debunked rumor that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are hunting and eating pets. Officials in Springfield say they have no evidence of this happening.

"Talk about extreme," Harris said after Trump talked about dogs and cats being eaten.

Trump also tied Harris to Biden, falsely claiming the Biden-Harris administration caused the "worst inflation" the country has had.
