Two of the most overlooked and forgotten elements to a persuasive speech are: 1) the Visualization Step and 2) the Call-to-action. Each element is easy to create, but incredibly persuasive if done well. ... For example, if you are giving a speech about blood donation, you obviously want the members of the audience to be persuaded to give blood. The Visualization Step should cause the audience to think about all the wonderful things that would happen if they did give blood, or all of the terrible things that would happen if they did not give blood. ... What if they were in an accident and badly needed blood for a life saving operation, but there wasn’t enough donated blood available for them to have this operation because too few people donated blood? Donating blood could save the life of someone you care about. ... Let’s look at a less dramatic example by looking at a Visualization Step for a speech about a new product (SuperPrint) which greatly reduces printing costs. ... If they don’t donate blood, perhaps someone close to them may die. ...
In addition to a Visualization Step, you also need a “Call-to-action” in your persuasion speech. The easiest, yet most forgotten part of a persuasion speech, a Call-to-action is simply telling the audience exactly what you expect them to do once you finish your speech.
