The problem that the company is facing is that its sales have been decreasing lately. This is due to some reasons, one of which is the promotion tool that the company uses.

Abstract

This study aimed to find out the persuasive strategies used by X insurance agents in prospecting the customers and reveal the differences and similarities between persuasive strategies used by insurance agents in prospecting same-age customers and older customers. Through this study, the writer tried to relate the persuasive strategies used by insurance agents to the customers’ age factor. The writer chose three insurance agents who worked in X Insurance company and classified the customers into two categories based on their ages; firstly, customers who are in the same-age group as the agents; secondly, customers who are in different-age (older) group from the agents. In the findings, it turned out that in prospecting both customers’ categories, the insurance agents used both persuasive strategies proposed by Beebe & Beebe (2012); however some methods of persuasion strategies were not used at all. This study concluded that the age of the customers does not really affect the way insurance agents prospect their customers.

Abstract

This Business Communication Final Project (BCFP) is made for English for Business Communication (EBC), a new program of the English Department in Petra Christian University. The background of the study is that only few people know about what EBC is because of EBC’s study focus misunderstanding. Thus, EBC needs a company profile booklet, which functions as not only a resume, but also a marketing tool for EBC, to promote its unique strengths as a new program and attract more potential customers, especially high school students and their parents. The company profile booklet outlines EBC history (“EBC-ED”), general overview (“What is EBC?”), product and service description, successes and milestones (“Why EBC?”), alumni and student testimonials (“What Do Our Alumni and Students Say?), and contact information (“How to Reach Us?”). It is expected that this company profile can benefit EBC in its future growth and development.

Abstract

This qualitative study aims to find out the affective strategies used by high proficiency learners at Hand Fortuna Center, Kupang. The theory applied was the theory of Affective Strategies by Oxford (1990) as a main theory and Oxford (2011) as a supporting theory. The source of data was the result of the questionnaires and the transcripts of interview that have been conducted with the ten high proficiency students at Hand Fortuna Center. The findings showed that the learners mostly used the first and the second part of affective strategies, namely “lowering your anxiety” and “encouraging yourself”. There are three sub-strategies in each part such as using “progressive relaxation, deep breathing, or meditation”, “using music”, and “using laughter” (lowering your anxiety) and “making positive statements”, “taking risks wisely”, and “rewarding yourself” (encouraging yourself). The third part of affective strategies, “taking your emotional temperature”, was the least frequently used by the learners. It is possible that the learners might not be familiar with the strategies such as “using a checklist” or “writing a language learning diary”.
