Successful influential communication addresses the listener’s needs, values and wishes. People react better to powerful communication when they feel the person talking is same like them. Knowing you Audience is that factor which enables you to deliver you ideas more effectively according to your audience wishes. (Cenere, 2016).
Get Attention

Convey Benefits
A speaker or a presenter can easily convince audience by telling lots of benefits of the speech. (Kim, 2015).
Set up Believability
People are more open to somebody they see as a power figure, whether that person has direct power over them, for example, a supervisor, or if he or she has a dominant presence in industry or profession (Kim, 2016).
Expressions
With verbal communication, your behavior shows your ability to speak in front of crowd or a group of people . To offer your points to your group of onlookers effecively, associate with them by keeping up eye contact and certainty by standing up straight (Tessier, 2015)
If you can become a master in the art of persuasion, you can win the support of people, but you also can bind your team in a group and convince them easily to work in a team.
