The most persuasive argument is no argument at all. Quality, speed and accuracy don't need advocates. If the idea is really good, just mentioning it is enough for the team to adopt it. If I think someone should adopt my style, my tool, my configuration, my editor or anything else, the first thing I ask myself is how does it compare to the most important thing that the team needs to advance on? If it's the most important thing, then I'll cajole the team to adopt the idea. A recent example of that for me is a particular way of running integration tests. But if it's not the most important thing, well then I'm just distracting myself and everyone else with another thing to do, and I try to get back to whatever is really important to my own progress.
