ការបញ្ចុះបញ្ចូលអ្នកដទៃ
🎯 Objective / គោលបំណង:

Convince someone to change their mind without being rude. Use the "Persuasion Sandwich" technique.

💬 Scenario: The Marketing Budget

Situation: Your colleague wants to spend the budget on TV Ads. You think Social Media is better.

B1 Learner (Too Blunt) "No, I don't like TV ads. They are too expensive. Social media is better."
(Result: Colleague feels rejected.)
B2 Expert (Persuasive)
Step 1: Validate "I see your point. TV ads definitely reach a huge audience."
Step 2: Pivot & State "However, considering our limited budget, I'm convinced that social media offers better value."
Step 3: Suggest "Suppose we tried a small social campaign first to test it?"

1. The Soft Opener (Validation)

Never start with "No". Agree with part of their idea first.

"I see where you're coming from..." ខ្ញុំយល់ពីបំណងរបស់អ្នក
Acknowledges their logic without agreeing to the plan.
"That's a valid point..." នោះជាចំណុចសមហេតុផល
Validates their intelligence before you disagree.

2. Strong Opinion Markers

Move beyond "I think". Use stronger B2 phrases.

"I'm convinced that..." ខ្ញុំជឿជាក់ថា...
Shows high confidence.
"I'm convinced that this is the right path."
"There's no doubt that..." គ្មានការសង្ស័យទេថា...
Emphasizes certainty.

Choose the Persuasive Option
