sell on

Win over to

Sell on means to convince someone of the value or merit of something, making them enthusiastic about it.

If you're sold on an idea, you've become a believer in it.

I wasn't sure about the plan at first, but she really sold me on it.

The phrase can also mean to resell something you've acquired: He buys vintage furniture and sells it on for a profit.
