This person would be called upon when, say, a potential partner or client is still doubtful and having a difficult time making a decision. The specialist is paid to find just the right words, arguments, and tone, and has enough natural charm, to persuade them.



The word persuader has a number of meanings and tons of ambiguous connotations.

  • @mahmudkoya It is not so specific and not widely used today in this sense. It is true that convincer is a word and some marketing literature did use the term, though, e.g., Dorothy Leeds, Smart Questions: The Essential Strategy for Successful Managers, 2000, pp.63-64.

  • Influencer is someone who is already in position to influence others. I am not aware of a mechanism by which you can hire a freelance "influencer" to come in and persuade someone in your organization (other than a mob persuader).
