You meet a girl who you'd like to go out with at a dance club. You ask her on a date, but she doesn't answer. You want to encourage her to answer. You say:
Come on! What do you say?

What do you have to lose?
You have an old car that has lots of engine problems. Your sister is trying to convince you to sell it, but you don't want to. One reason you don't want to sell it is that you don't think you can make a lot of money by selling it to someone. You say:
I doubt I'll get much for it.
You're out drinking with people. One of the people seems like he's ready to leave, but you think it would be more fun if he stayed for another drink. You suggest:
Come on, stay for one more round.
You say "come on" to someone when you're trying to convince them in a friendly and casual situation. "Come on" means something like "Don't worry about it; just do it." Here is another example:
Come on! Tell me what she said!
When people drink together at a bar or party, they usually drink at about the same speed. So everyone gets a new drink at the same time. You call one group of drinks for each person a "round".
It's customary for one person to pay for an entire round of drinks for everyone, and then someone else pays for the next round. When it's your turn to pay for a round, you say:
This round's on me.
bar, convincing, drinking, friend You are a salesperson and one of your clients has told you that she's canceling her account and moving over to a competitor's product. You ask her:
Is there any way I can convince you to reconsider?
"Convince" means to make someone decide something based on what you say to them. You can use "convince" without "to". For example, the following can be said if it's already clear from the conversation what you have been convinced of:
He convinced me.
Use "to (do something)" to tell an action that the person was convinced to do. Use "that (clause)" to express that the person was convinced of an idea:
Ed convinced me that the fastest way to get to New York was Highway 95.
"Reconsider" means to think about your decision again, and possibly change it. In the example sentence above, "reconsider" is used as an intransitive verb. But it's usually followed by a noun:
Please reconsider my offer.
In the example above, both the speaker and the listener understand what is being reconsidered, so it's left out of the sentence:
Is there any way I can convince you to reconsider (cancelling your account)?
