其實，不是你英文不夠好，而是沒人教你用英文說出影響力，想要說服別人：
首先得先退一步緩和氣氛，解釋原因
爭取認同感，以柔克剛
提出有力證據或建議
現在，就讓我們來看看，如何用英文聊出影響力，說出感召力。
先說「為什麼」
To inspire people to take actions, always start with why instead of what.
Before telling people your idea, give people a reason to listen to your idea.
表達原因的方式：
So 因此、所以
Due to / Owing to 由於⋯⋯
Because/ Because of 因為⋯⋯
Therefore, ⋯⋯因此⋯⋯
例：People now are expecting a faster user experience. So weintroduce our latest model that comes with 16GB of RAM.
（人們現在都期望操作上能有更快速表現。所以我們最新的型號搭載了16GB 的 RAM。）
例：There’s a lot of traffic today due to the upcoming holiday.
（因為即將到來的假期，所以今天交通很繁忙。）
例：Our company’s profits have increased 150% in the past year.Therefore, we’re going to invest in new equipment and training programs.
（我們公司去年的獲利增加了150%，所以我們將會投資一些新設備跟教育訓練的課程。）
爭取認同，建立共識
Show how you share the same values or experiences. Don’t just talk about
what the product can, talk about how that translates into a better experience
for the user.
因此我們可以用下列幾種開場白：
As we all know that⋯⋯ 我們都知道⋯⋯
It’s pretty clear that⋯⋯ 很顯然地⋯⋯
I believe we’re all agreed that⋯⋯ 我相信大家都認同⋯⋯
I know we’ve all had some problems with⋯⋯ 我知道我們跟⋯⋯有些問題⋯⋯
例：I believe we’re all agreed that this company is our best bet inSouth Asia.
（我相信我們都同意該公司是我們在南亞最好的選擇。）
例：It’s pretty clear that XYZ company has the most market share in smartphones.
（XYZ公司很顯然在智慧手機市場裡，擁有最高的市占率。）
客氣提出建議
Avoid giving orders; ask questions instead. Replace “You” and “I” with “Let’s.” Or try to propose ideas hypothetically. Give suggestions rather than orders.
想讓別人心悅誠服聽你的話，雄辯或是發號施令絕對不管用，我們可以嘗試著用建議或提問的方式，幫別人保留面子，也贏得他們的尊重。
所以有求於對方或要麻煩他人時，我們可以用下列的方式來做開場：
I think we should do⋯⋯ 我覺得我們應該⋯⋯
What if we⋯⋯ 如果我們⋯⋯
Let’s try⋯⋯ 我們試試⋯⋯
Do you think⋯⋯ 你認為⋯⋯
例：Do you think you could email me details of your products by this afternoon？
（你認為你今天下午前可以把你們產品的規格寄給我嗎？）
例：What if we consider another venue for the launch？
（如果我們考慮其他發表會的場地呢？）
態度要熱情真誠
Always wear passion onyour sleeve. It’s like a magnet.We’re naturally drawn to those who radiate withpassion.
wear passion/heart on sleeve 表露熱情／情感
贊同他人想法時只說 Good、That’s true. 是不夠的，何不試著用下面的方式來表達你們是站在同一陣線的：
Fabulous! 很讚！
That’s a good idea./
That’s not a bad idea. 這想法很好/這想法不賴
It might work! 這會有效！
I completely agree. 我完全同意。
激發他人想法
Encourage people to talkabout themselves. And say what makes them tick and appeals to their interests.
what makes people tick 激發人們的原因
徵詢對方意見：
What do you suggest? 你會怎麼建議？
What are your thoughts?你想法是什麼？
Do you think thiswill work? 你覺得這個會有成效嗎？
