Here's my take on it and would love to hear if there are other tricks and tips:
1. Be empathetic and listen to their POV.
2. Understand their motivation and assess if your strategy/solution takes it into account. If not, revise. If yes,
3. Do a pros and cons of the conflicting views - cost, effort and value. Talk it through with the stakeholder to find middle ground.
I found that it always helps to:
A. Doing a pep rally (cheerleading) and reiterate the personal value/purpose that their effort on this project will bring.
B. Connect to them on a human level and not be just a "project manager" who demands results. Get to know them by understanding what they like, their hobbies, what motivates them, what they dislike etc.
