Gaining Agreement

Gaining agreement is the last stage of a good ‘persuasive’ meeting. Persuasion is not solely about getting a 'yes' to your question at the end of a presentation, telephone call or conversation.

In order to reach a point where you can ask for agreement or commitment you must have gained the other person’s attention and understood their priorities in order to present your ideas effectively. Some people find it difficult to ask for what they want as it feels rude or overly direct. However, if you put more effort and skill into the earlier part of the persuasive process, then getting agreement to the next stage requires less effort and less skill.
