Do you use persuasion in your career?

[Gretchen Hollis <misswoodstocker -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I'm a graduate student in technical communication, and I'm curious about how
technical writers might use persuasion in their careers.

   - Please respond with your current job title and how you frequently
   communicate with your co-workers (e.g., email, face-to-face, written, etc.).
   - Can you describe a situation where you needed to persuade a co-worker
   to use your idea? For example, have you ever discussed how you benefit the
   company to your supervisor? Or, have you ever talked a developer or SME into
   creating or changing something based on your idea?
   - What were your results? Did you end up helping the company or your
   career?

Thanks,
Gretchen
