Persuade by wheedling, also known as inveigling, is a form of persuasion that involves using flattery, cajoling, and other tactics to convince someone to do something. It is a subtle form of manipulation that relies on the target's emotions rather than logic. Inveigling can be used to get someone to agree to a request or to make a purchase. It is often used in sales and marketing, but it can also be used in other contexts.
