Communications)

In this module we discussed a model that can be used to help you frame a persuasive message. In the following example, indicate which element of the model each of the following statements is aligned with (in other words, which sentence is written with the intention of fulfilling each aspect of the model's approach to persuasive communication)? This request is directly related to the paycheques that will be issued beginning July 1st, and this will have a direct impact on the company's budget forecast for the next six months. Given the current pandemic, our HR team has discovered that all of our leading competitors have increased the wages of their cashier, sales associate and stock-room employees by $1.50 per hour for the next six months to recognize the extraordinary efforts they've invested to help keep their stores operational and their customers happy. Despite the increased budget expenditure, this has seemingly resulted in higher staff retention (an increase of 20%) and greater customer satisfaction (25%) By implementing a wage increase that is consistent with our competitors we should also realize greater employee satisfaction and therefore retention. Therefore, even though it would increase our budget by approximately $150,000 per month, it would likely offset our current recruitment costs of $120,00 per month and also yield an increase in sales given that customers may be happier and choose to purchase more as a result of their experience. Overall, my team feels this will actually yield a profit of approximately $45,000 per month Given our budget forecasting deadline of June 15th, I'd like to request a meeting with you and our Board before June 10th to review the scenarios and to answer any questions you may have. Please let me know when an appropriate date and time would be to discuss further.
