How to say to "persuade into doing something"? I am looking for a Japanese phrase or an idiom which could be used to describe a situation in which a person A persuades person B into doing something, not required for the person B, but beneficial to the A. Like selling a trekking map for a very well marked and safe path. I tried looking for "to scare someone to do something" and got literal , which I feel is too strong (there is no direct threat). suggests deception (while A might only exaggerate certain aspects, not necessarily lie). On the other hand does not have a negative connotation. Is there such a phrase? Or are my concerns for the above-mentioned phrases irrelevant?

I would suggest **** , which is like /, but implies the action is beneficial not to the target but to the subject. It does have the negative connotation like , but it's not as strong/evil/illegal as .

You can also use and .
