Understanding people is vital to knowing how to persuade them effectively. Knowing how to use words effectively is also important. Conflict management is necessary when dealing with resistance to persuasion. Theory, styles, technology, audience, goals, attraction, cadence, method, and results may all be relevant elements of persuasion, but they can fall under the broad categories of understanding people, effective use of words, and conflict management. Television, music, and transmission may also be tools of persuasion, but they are not elements of the art of persuasion in and of themselves.
