To persuade the official, you need to acknowledge and appreciate the work they do for enforcing rules and regulations. Then explain your reasons why your business operations have been struggling with regulatory requirements. Showing that you take these regulations seriously would earn respect from the official. Be sure to provide clear, actionable steps of how you plan to remedy compliance issues and maintain future regulatory compliance. End by expressing gratitude and appreciation for considering a possible waiver of some minor requirements.

There are several strategies you can employ when dealing with government officials. First, have a clear understanding of the regulations and determine what parts could cause issues for your business. Have concrete solutions ready to address any potential problems the official may raise. Be honest about your past performance in complying with regulatory requirements, and create a plan for staying compliant moving forward. Demonstrate how upholding those regulations will benefit them or their constituents, such as more money in their community or fewer safety risks in their region. Additionally, offer incentives such as financial penalties if you fail to meet requirements which could help build trust that you will act within the terms requested. Finally show genuine appreciation for understanding and offering leniency - send an occasional thank-you note which shows that recognition of their leadership is appreciated.
