In the first two ESL lessons (BEP 59 & BEP 60) in this three-part series on persuasion 1, we saw how getting your audience’s attention and demonstrating a clear need were essential to the persuasive 2 process. We learned that in the indirect method of persuasion you should demonstrate the problem before you offer a solution. This mirrors the psychological process of decision-making: First we feel a need, and then we look for a way to satisfy that need.


After you have established the need, you then describe the future benefits if your proposal is accepted. This is the visualization 3 step: Talk about how accepting your proposal will have positive future outcomes or maybe how not accepting it will have negative outcomes. Finally, you need to make a concrete, specific call to action – what the audience can do right now to implement 4 your proposal.


Let’s finish listening to Steve give his proposal to Swift management. See if you can identify the satisfaction, visualization and action steps in his speech.


Listening Questions:

1. How long will it take Swift to get back the investment in air conditioning?

2. How much extra profit can Swift make per year by adopting Nick’s proposal?

3. What specific action does Steve ask his manager’s to take?
