What about your audience must you take into account as you tailor your message to this audience?

Pick something at work or school that you want your boss, peer(s), or subordinate(s) to do, do more of, or do better.  This must be something that requires persuasion – i.e., something that they will not choose to do by themselves, and that they will not do unless influenced to do it.  Yet, your request must be realistic (they might actually do it if you communicate well).  What you request also must be important to you, not trivial – e.g., giving you a raise, not lending you a pen.  Next, address the five items below noting the weight and length of each topic based on the percentages:

Make sure each number (“Request”, “Audience Analysis”, and so on… has its own heading and then answer the question under that heading)

1. Request (10%)

Please make my request “giving me a raise and relocating  me and my family to a new area for a better school district and life for my son”

• What is your request?
• Describe here briefly what it is you want them to do.
• Why does this request require persuasion?
• How do you know they are unlikely to do it without this influence attempt?

1. Audience Analysis (10%)

My audience will most likely be my direct manager, boss, Human Resources and Talent Acquisition people, and the new branch manager and boss to which I am trying to relocate to

• Who is your audience?
• What about your audience must you take into account as you tailor your message to this audience?

1. Influence Tactics (40%)

• Upon which influence tactics is your message built?
• Name each influence tactic that you use, and describe how you applied the tactic in your message.
• Use this website below for your source on in this section (use the material under the sections Bases of Power and Direction of Influence to draw information to help answer this section):

1. Conflict Management (15%)

You can use this article to help in this section if you please. Since this section is about dealing with conflicts that may rise: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesleadershipforum/2012/05/30/10-commandments-for-delivering-bad-news/?sh=532275322169

• Brainstorm at least two conflicts that might arise as a result of your attempts to create change.
• Describe the conflicts, the source(s) of the conflicts, how the resolution of the conflicts may impact your communication and influence your request.

1. The Message (20%) (Write out a script or pitch for my message)

• Include here what your message is.
• If the message is to be delivered in writing (e.g., a memo) then include it here verbatim (e.g., include the memo).
• If the message is to be delivered orally, then include the script and any accompanying visual aids.
• Please keep this section under four pages long (double-spaced).

1. Reality Check (5%) (Answer this question as “Yes”)

• Will you really deliver this message?
• Why or why not?

This paper is a minimum of five, and cannot exceed, six double-spaced pages, not including title and reference pages. Other than the links posted above, I have attached three more sources to use in this paper. Please use information from these sources throughout this paper as you see fit.
