convincer

One who persuades

A convincer is something that persuades or proves a point decisively.

In sales and con artistry, a convincer is a demonstration or piece of evidence designed to overcome skepticism: The free sample was the convincer that closed the deal.

The term often carries a slightly cynical edge, suggesting manipulation rather than genuine proof.
