Method: Show, Then Propose
Description: Before proposing an idea, I like to show a mock-up. People are very quick to disagree with an idea before they've even experienced it. Show them the idea first, then propose implementing it. This gives them something clear to work with or against. Plus, it also reduces resistance from the question: "Well, how much work is this going to take?" If you've already done most of the work, it'll be easier to accept.
