"My dad used this phrase a lot while I was growing up, ‘make it easy for them to give you what you want.’
When asking for something that needs approval or input from someone else, think about the situation from the other person’s perspective. Try and anticipate any reason they may say no or disagree and have a rebuttal ready. Even better if you can make it sound like it was their idea in the first place of that their ideas are going to contribute in some way or that they’ll benefit."

Yay, let's teach people how to manipulate and control others, since simply asking and accepting their answers isn't enough. Because it's not about what they want it's about what you want, and how much you can get before you get into trouble.
