You can do this in much the same way you can get almost anyone to do almost anything. By first appealing to their emotions. Affect a persons emotions and you have affected the person. Find some common ground with this person and incorporate their life experience with your analogical reasoning. It could be a past relationship or job or even an upcoming event that would spark his/her interest. People are affected easily through their emotions because our emotions are the one thing about us that we cannot physically protect. Our emotions are exposed all the time which is why it is easier to get over a physical scar than it is an emotional one.
