What/How is the best way to influence people?

Answer 1

Don't say I think or I thought and make sure that you are confident in your answer.  Don't bad mouth people or say that they are stupid if they don't agree with you.  

Answer 2

you need to be interested in them and what they like you need to mirror physical movements, for example if they put here hand on there chin you do it to. Look them in the eye and listen to them respond to questions do not interrupt them when they are talking.

Answer 3

Influence involves charisma, charm, wit, and most importantly, the quick and resourceful usage of propaganda techniques. Combine these things together and you can speak your mind, even if it is a vastly differing opinion, and people will still like you. h**l, they may even LOVE your @$$. And once that happens...they always tend to agree with you.

Either that or find out their favorite drink and get them wasted.
