Using verbs as nouns in language and persuasion can have a significant impact on effectiveness. For example, asking people to become a voter is more effective than asking them to vote, and asking people to be a helper is more effective than asking for help. By describing ourselves using nouns instead of adjectives or verbs, we can influence our own behavior and the behavior of others. Simple rephrasing of a message can help achieve persuasive goals.
