Session 10
Persuasive Message:
Plan Before You Write
• Know your product, service, or idea
• Know your audience
• Know the desired action you wish
your audience to take
Principles for
Effective Persuasion
• Keep paragraphs short
• Use concrete nouns and
active verbs
• Use specific language
• Keep the spotlight on the
receiver
• Stress a central selling
point or appeal
• Use an inductive outline
Chapter 8
People who prepare and send effective
persuasive messages follow the CBO
approach and AIDA strategy:
 Attract Attention.
 Build Interest.
 Encourage Desire.
 Call for Action.
Persuasive Outline:
When The Receiver Must
Be Persuaded

receiver’s needsA
D
I
A
Chapter 8
Create desire to respond positively by presenting
convincing evidence of the value to be gained
Introduce the product, service, or idea and
create interest by stating specific reader benefits
Encourage action by making it easy and
restating the main benefit
Examples of Persuasive Messages
Donate time, money, or knowledge
Support an activity or cause
Cooperate to resolve an issue or pay a bill
Purchase a product or service (sales message)
Four Planning Activities
 Identify the objective.
 Visualize the audience.
 Gather supporting information (selling points).
 Organize the information.
When planning persuasive messages:
Two Categories of Persuasive Messages
 Nonroutine Requests
• Request for support
• Request for cooperation
 Sales Messages
Nonroutine Requests
 Ask for support or cooperation.
 Organized in the indirect pattern.
 Incorporate the persuasive strategy AIDA.
 May use unusual formats, writing styles, and language
mechanics.
Requests for Support
 Begin with attention-getting statement.
 Choose an appropriate appeal.
 Lead to the request.
 Close with request for action; provide for easy
response.
Requests for support seek donations of time, money, or
knowledge.
Requests for Cooperation
Claim Messages follow CBO approach and the persuasive
strategy AIDA.
 Begin with a courteous, attention-getting opening.
 Provide details in chronological order, clearly, and calmly.
 Include pertinent information.
 Appeal to the receiver’s sense of fairness.
 Close with reasonable request.
 Consider details.
Requests for Cooperation
Collection Messages have two objectives: collecting
money and maintaining goodwill.
 Assume that the receiver intends to pay.
 Follow federal and state collection regulations.
 Send collection messages at regular intervals.
 Use an appropriate organizational pattern and
message strategy for each collection stage.
Collection Messages
Initial Stage message is a routine reminder to pay a
bill.
Middle Stage message follows indirect pattern and
persuasive strategy AIDA.
Final Stage message follows direct pattern even
though the message contains bad news.
Three stages of collection messages:
Sales Messages
Solicited sales messages are responses to inquiries.
Unsolicited sales messages are initiated by the sender.
The main objective of a sales message is to persuade
receivers to buy something.
Preliminary Considerations in
Writing Persuasive Requests (1 of 2)
• Your goal is to ask for
something the reader is likely to
oppose.
• You must develop a strategy
that will convince the reader to
comply.
Procedure for Writing a
Persuasive Request (2 of 2)
• Open with words that
– set up the strategy, and
– gain attention.
• Present the strategy (the persuasion),
using persuasive language and you-
viewpoint.
• As a logical follow-up, make the request
clearly and without negatives.
• End the message with the request or with
words that recall the appeal.

Dear Ms. McLaughlin:
You’ll agree, I’m sure, that college
teachers of business communication need
to be in touch with business leaders in the
field. Established leaders like you can give
the teachers that input from reality that is
so very important in all practical
coursework.
Opening
Good Strategy in a
Persuasive Request (1 of 4)
For this reason I believe that you can make a
vitally important contribution to the national
meeting of the Association for Business
Communication, which will be held in New
Orleans at the Sheraton Hotel, October 28-31.
Specifically, I want you to speak to us Friday
afternoon from 2:00 to 2:45 p.m.
Body
Good Strategy in a
Persuasive Request (2 of 4)
What I’d like you to do is describe what you do
as a correspondence supervisor at Winn
Dixie. Whatever you can tell us that would
help us as teachers is what you should
include. Especially would the members like to
hear about the writing problems of business
people and what you think we should be doing
in the colleges to correct them. I suggest that
you speak for about 30 minutes, leaving the
final 15 minutes for questions.
Body continued
Good Strategy in a
Persuasive Request (3 of 4)
Closing
Will you please accept this major part on
our program, Ms. McLaughlin? By so
doing you will be helping to improve
instruction at the colleges represented by
our 1,500 members. As I must have the
program completed by the 15th, may I
have your answer before the 10th?
Sincerely,
Good Strategy in a
Persuasive Request (4 of 4)
Why Write Sales Messages?
Sales messages are helpful in
training you because
–Sales techniques are useful in
your other activities.
•in writing other messages
•in actual sales work
•in selling yourself
Preliminary Steps to
Sales Writing
• Learn the product or service you
sell.
– how it is made
– how it works
– what it will do
• Learn about the prospective
customers.
– their economic status
– their nationalities
– their ages
– etc.
Determining the Appeal (1 of 3)
• Emotional
–appeals to the senses (feeling,
tasting, smelling, hearing)
• Rational
–appeals to the thinking mind (saving
money, making money, doing a
better job, getting better use)
Two broad categories:
Determining the Appeal (2 of 3)
Select the appeals that fit product or
service.
– Some better suited to emotional
• music
• cosmetics
• fancy foods
– Some better suited to rational
• work tools
• tires
• industrial goods
Determining the Appeal (3 of 3)
Select the appeals that fit
the prospects.
– Sales to retailers (for
resale)
• probably rational
– Sales to ultimate
consumers
• either rational
• or emotional
Organization of the
Sales Message
• Many variations are used.
– whatever works
• But there is this conventional
pattern:
– gain attention
– create desire
– cover all necessary information
– drive for the sale
– possibly add a postscript
Conventional Organization Pattern
of the Sales Message in Detail
• Begin with words that set up the sales
presentation and gain attention.
• Present the sales message using
imagination, persuasive language,
and you-viewpoint.
• Include sufficient information to
convince.
• Then drive for the sale, making it
clear, and using appropriate strength.
• Urge immediate action.
• May recall basic appeal in final words.

Would you like to save up to 12 cents
a gallon on your bill for fuel oil?
Does your monthly oil bill make you wince?
Wouldn’t you like to beat the high cost of
heating--cut your annual fuel bill by as much
as 30-40 percent? Then, I think you’ll be
interested in our Catalytic Carburetor
Assembly. Complete details are yours for the
asking . . . as explained below.
Opening
A Rational Sales Message (1 of 4)
Installed on your present oil burner, the Catalytic
Carburetor Assembly permits burning of the
present type of catalytic fuel oil at highest
efficiency . . . and with a clean fire. What’s more,
it easily pays for itself in fuel oil savings and
brings your burner completely up to date. A little
simple arithmetic with your current oil bill will
show you how substantial these savings are.
Figure you might save up to 12 cents on every
gallon, and see what a difference that makes.
Body
A Rational Sales Message (2 of 4)
But there’s no need to take our say-so about the
savings you can make--because we back our
Catalytic Carburetor Assembly with a written
money-back guarantee. Your can’t lose--you
either get the savings we guarantee, or the
assembly is removed and your money refunded in
full.
Scores of satisfied users throughout the state are
enjoying more efficient, more economical heating--
thanks to the Catalytic Carburetor Assembly. We
believe that you, too, would benefit by installing
this device on your oil burner.
Body continued

without cost or obligation.
Sincerely,
Closing
