You must use the results of your Audience Analysis while preparing the main
body of your speech. You must present support and evidence which will convince
them to agree with you.
In order to persuade listeners with the “who cares” attitude, you must get them
interested in your topic. You must prove that your topic is important to think about,
or that it directly affects them in some way.
Example: Pretend that your persuasive speech is to convince the audience to buy
water purification system for their homes. Listeners are likely to be uninterested in
this topic because they don’t believe it is important. However, you could tell them
that the newspaper ran a story saying that the quality of water in your community is
the worst in the country. Expert doctors warn that drinking this water could increase
the risk of getting cancer. This type of information would certainly develop interest in
your topic and get people to consider your suggestion.
In order to persuade a “hostile” listener (the one who completely disagrees with your
opinion or belief), you must know the reasons of disagreeing with you and convince
them that their specific reasons for disagreeing are not valid.
