sweet-talkers
Glib persuasive speakers
Sweet-talkers are people who use flattery and charm to persuade or manipulate others.
The term implies insincerity—sweet-talkers say what you want to hear rather than what they believe: Don't trust those sweet-talkers in the sales department.
The word carries a note of warning: someone being sweet-talked should be on guard.
