Answer to #1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) In today's information-saturated business environment, having a great idea or a great product is no longer enough. Every day, untold numbers of good ideas go unnoticed and good products go unsold simply because the messages meant to promote them aren't compelling enough to be heard above the competitive noise.

Answer to #2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Persuasionthe attempt to change an audience's attitudes, beliefs, or actions. Because persuasive messages ask audiences to give something of value (money in exchange for a product, for example) or take substantial action (such as changing a corporate policy), they are more challenging to write than routine messages.

Answer to #3

Answer: B
Explanation: B) The best persuasive messages are closely connected to your audience's desires and interests. Consider these important questions: Who is my audience? What are my audience members' needs? What do I want them to do? How might they resist? Are there alternative positions I need to examine? What does the decision maker consider to be the most important issue? How might the organization's culture influence my strategy?

Answer to #4

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Creating successful persuasive messages in these challenging situations demands careful attention to all four tasks in the planning step, starting with an insightful analysis of your purpose and your audience, gathering information, selecting the channel and medium and organizing the information.

Answer to #5

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Whether you're trying to convince people to help fund your new business via Kickstarter, asking your boss for a raise, or promoting a concert, trust is an essential element of persuasion. If people don't believe in you, they won't believe in what you're promoting.
