rare
To persuade someone against an idea, product, or belief that they had previously accepted or bought into.
To unsell someone is to work against an earlier sales pitch or argument, talking a person out of a purchase, an opinion, or a plan they once favored. Marketers sometimes worry about unselling a customer by mentioning a downside at the wrong moment, undoing the persuasive work already done. The word treats persuasion as reversible, so unselling someone is the deliberate opposite of the original selling.
