You should use active listening techniques to be able to better understand their viewpoint and anticipate potential counterarguments. Additionally, it may be helpful to find common ground between both perspectives and present facts or figures that demonstrate your point of view. Furthermore, sticking to constructive, instead of aggressive or argumentative language may help ensure that your viewpoint prevails.

To dominate a conversation so that the other person cannot form a counterargument, you should use strong cognitive techniques. One way to do this is to have an abundance of evidence and facts on your side. Additionally, it is important to be well-speak and present your point clearly, logically and confidently. Ask leading questions of the other person that elicit yes/no answers and further affirm your position. You should also try paraphrasing their opinion to ensure you understand it correctly, but don't let them distract you from your main point. Finally, always leave them with something to think about as a parting gift.
