Maybe step back a little and consider the outcomes you're seeking. Argumentation is one path and tactic for achieving an alignment with a group of people. However, framing anything as combative can have some negative tradeoffs. My experience is that more cooperative tactics like intent listening, questions, and yes-and can help broker a positive alignment with fewer negative tradeoffs. If you switch mindsets you'll find lots of business books about effective communication, persuasion, and change management. Good luck!
