fast talk
Glib verbal manipulation
Fast talk is rapid, persuasive speech designed to confuse or manipulate—the patter of a con artist or pushy salesperson who doesn't want you thinking too carefully.
To fast-talk someone is to pressure or deceive them this way: He fast-talked her into signing the contract.
A fast talker is someone skilled at this kind of verbal maneuvering.
