Explanation:

1. Being able to persuade your consumers to buy the company products leads to better sales and better bottomlines for the company. This is why employees try their best to be persuasive to consumers some times for products that won't even benefit them. This will put the employees in a better position at work. Consumers therefore need to be wary of these persuasive skills to be able to stand their ground should they not want a product.

2. Persuasion in this day and age is employing tried and tested psychological methods to achieve better results. One of these is to be simpler and personal. By relating to the actual person involved, they are able to build a relationship and convince people faster.

With the scale and magnitude of Information and Communication Technology in the world right now, persuasive messages are easier to spread. They are spread so fast to multiple geographical locations thus increasing their reach as well.

It would also seem as though these days that all businesses are in the persuasion business. Whether it's consumers, suppliers, the Government etc, all businesses are engaged in trying to persuade entities in such a way that their interests are pushed forward.
