It is important to first show that you have heard and understood the speaker's viewpoint, as this demonstrates respect and can help establish a productive dialogue. Simply talking over the person or immediately telling them they are wrong can be confrontational and unproductive. Providing facts, figures, and arguments to support your disagreement can be effective, but only after demonstrating understanding of the other person's perspective.
