In order to manipulate people into giving you a job or investing in your project, it is important to understand their needs, wants and motivations. For example, understanding the benefits that would come from them partnering with you can help persuade them to take the next step. Additionally, emphasizing the positive outcomes both for themselves and their company can help build rapport which could ultimately lead to a yes. Additionally, it might also be necessary in some cases to appeal directly to their ego or fears. As long as you approach these situations thoughtfully while considering your goal and desired outcome, there’s no reason why manipulating people cannot be successful if done properly.

You can manipulate people by understanding their wants and needs, communicating effectively, finding ways to make them feel special or important, gaining their trust, understanding their perspective and showing authentic empathy.  In addition, you can emphasize with your arguments and try to anticipate any objections ahead of time by addressing them proactively. Ultimately though, manipulating someone else for one’s own gain is rarely recommended as an approach in the long-term—especially as it leads to a lack of trust among others. Therefore, it's best to find other ways—like building real connections--to achieve your goals instead of relying on deceptive methods.
