Persuasive Speech Outline – Paul Williams

HUC 106 1.17.22

The due date for this assignment is 2/6 by 11:59 PM. DOC/PDF FILES ONLY! Since you're making most of this up, please try to be as creative as possible! This is a sales pitch, you're welcome to sell an item (can be existent or nonexistent) or a service by answering the questions below.

As always, you must still submit an outline to be eligible to record your speech. Please refer to the example outlines and recording on Blackboard for any help. Additionally, remember the crazier claims, the better your outlines are, and the more you have fun with the outline the more convincing your recording will be.

Part I: MINIMUM 100 WORDS! Introduce the item(s): This is where you have to do your homework and know your item(s). You should know what it is, how it works, and a little bit of why it was invented in the first place. This DOES NOT mean to give me 2 minutes of the history of paper towels for example, keep this short and simple, try to keep it under a minute or a little over a minute tops. *Note for a few in the class: If you are marketing art or music, give background about yourself as an artist, what inspires you to produce your work, when did you find out you had your talent(s)

“Sup dudes, tired of leaving white stains on your black t-shirts? No Bruh, not those, the ones you get from wearing traditional roll-ons. Introducing: Curve Sport: Body Spray for men. Curve Sport Body Spray is a revolutionary defender against body odor and is guaranteed to make your coworkers at work stop fleeing from you. Just extend your arm six inches from your body and spray your desired area. It’s even safe to spray on your man tools. Traditional roll-on deodorants are messy and leave unattractive stains especially on dark clothes. With Curve Sport: Body Spray, the scent is delivered through microbe droplets that leave no stains, saving you money when it comes to laundry.”

Part II: MINIMUM 100 WORDS! Why do I need this? Do I really need it? Does this make my life any easier? How does it benefit me as a consumer? This is where you have to be compelling, charismatic, persuasive, and most of all convincing. You should be able to answer some if not all of these questions. For example once again, you need paper towels because they’re more sanitary than using the dirty old same rags over and over again. They save money because you don’t have to waste time and money on washing the same rags over and over again. Try to include a relatable personal anecdote here. What makes salespeople compelling and relatable is they’ll always try to tell you a story of how their wife or family member uses the product they’re trying to sell. This should be the bulk of the presentation; this is what it’s all about. *Note for a few in the class: If you’re marketing a product, you produce you can mention how family/friends love your drawings or music and that it always makes them feel a certain way.

“Just last week, I couldn’t hold down a conversation at work to save my life, but thanks to Curve Sport Body Spray, I’m up for a promotion at work this week and my life has changed drastically! The beauty of Curve is its long-lasting scent design that makes employers recognize a real one when they see it! Because of its nano odor absorbing technology, your clothes will stay fresher longer, meaning you don’t have to wash your clothes as often which in return saves you money from spending it at laundromat. It’s Perfect for guys who sweat a lot at the gym or work at tough demanding job like construction.”

Part III: MINIMUM 100 WORDS! Fake a sale: Introduce a price for your item/service. Explain why it’s the value you set. Then… Slash the price and make me a sale offer I can’t turn down. Maybe even include something for free, free installation if your product needs to be installed, free service, extended warranty, whatever! (Infomercials do this all the time where they say call in the next 10 minutes and we’ll give you so and so) *Note for a few in the class: If you’re marketing a product, you produce you can offer lessons on how to draw, play guitar, etc. You can offer autographs, blank canvases, etc. whatever! Be creative.)
