  3. Personal Proof “No one factor is more important to success in persuasion then the audience’s perception of the persuader” - Aristotle • Sometimes, a speaker can be so well liked the his/her personality alone is more powerful than the information they pass along. (Bill Clinton) • For the audience to open themselves for persuasion, they must perceive that the speaker has: • Competence • Integrity • Goodwill • Appropriate Image

  4. Credibility • The audience will take all the previous traits and combine them to determine the speakers credibility. • The audience must believe that the speaker believes what he/she is saying and that he/she “practices what they preach.” • If an audience perceives a speaker to be less than credible, then the speaker has wasted his/her time and the time of the audience because they will discount everything he/she has said.
