"To Sell is Human"- Daniel Pink. We need to be persuasive in so many spheres of our life. Maybe we want to get extra pocket money, to stay out a bit later on the weekend, or ask for an extension on homework? If we have a a product or idea that we want people to buy, we need to be able to tell them why it will be worth their time/money.
