In the world of business, persuasion reigns supreme. It's not just about slick sales pitches; it's about influencing others to see your point of view, be it a client considering your product, a colleague on a new strategy, or an investor on your venture.

The core of persuasion lies in understanding your audience.  What are their needs, wants, and potential objections? By tailoring your message to address these concerns, you build trust and credibility.  Facts and figures are powerful, but framing them in a way that resonates with your audience is key.  Highlight how your product solves their pain points or your idea benefits their goals.

Different audiences respond to different persuasive tactics.  For analytical thinkers, data and research hold weight.  Emotional connectors, on the other hand, respond better to stories and testimonials that paint a vivid picture of the positive impact.

Remember, persuasion is a two-way street. Listen attentively to your audience's perspective. Acknowledge their concerns and address them directly.  This fosters a collaborative environment where they feel heard and respected, making them more receptive to your ideas.

Effective persuasion goes beyond mere words.  It's about non-verbal cues too. Confident body language, strong eye contact, and an enthusiastic tone project conviction and inspire trust.

Finally, persuasion is an ongoing process.  Be prepared to answer questions and provide additional information.  The goal is not to pressure, but to guide your audience towards a win-win situation.

By mastering the art of persuasion, you can become a powerful advocate for your ideas, your business, and yourself.

Persuasion and Business Communication - Episode 96

Сегодня у нас в программе отрывок из романа Михаила Юрьевича Лермонтова “Герой нашего времени”. Прекрасный текст о взаимопонимании людей.

Как и раньше, я читаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. Будет много знаков препинания, которые я вам тоже буду проговаривать: точка (.), запятая (,), тире (-), двоеточие (:), точка с запятой (;), многоточие (...)

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “седьмой диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. 

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего вам дня, друзья!

今日三個詞：捱世界、蛇王、心噏

げんき、第１課36ページ、かいわより。 リスニングとリーディングのれんしゅうです。私が言ったあと、リピートしてください。 2かいめは少しはやいです。 
It‘ｓ for your practice of listening and reading. Repeat after me without reading げんき１, even if you have the textbook. I speak a little faster the second time. 
这是为了你的听力和阅读练习。 即使你有课本，也不要读　げんき１、跟着我重复。 我第二次说得快一点。 

もしあなたが中級（ちゅうきゅう）でも、いいれんしゅうになると思います。 
It should still be good practice even if you are an intermediate-level student. 
即使您是 N4 或以上级别的学生也很有用。
