The art and science of persuasion is part of the innovation journey.<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s one thing to invent something new or better, it\u2019s another to persuade those you seek to serve that you\u2019ve invented something new or better that\u2019s valuable to <\/span>them<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>Converting your invention to innovation<\/span><\/span><\/a> may also involve persuading collaborators, investors, regulators, partners, and other stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>

If you\u2019re ever struggling to persuade or looking to level up your persuasion skills, there is no shortage of resources you can turn to: an Amazon search alone will pull up over 10,000 results for books on persuasion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In my experience, asking yourself one simple question can help you solve most of your problems of persuasion:<\/span><\/p>

Have I earned the trust of the person I am trying to persuade?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

If you can\u2019t answer that question with a confident yes, work on earning trust and the persuasion is much more likely to follow. And if you can answer with a confident yes, continue working on earning their trust: trust is easy to overestimate and you can never have too much of it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
