MKT.3:5.2 - Learning to recognize an altered promise

A team preparing messages repeatedly adds unsupported implications to a factual service description. An instructor uses HCD.6.1: the learner compares the original with a promotional rewrite, identifies the changed expectation and decides what must be corrected before use. The examples make the consequential difference visible, such as assistance becoming a guarantee of independent success.

The instructor then changes a superficial cue and presents another pair, so success cannot depend solely on the word “guaranteed.” The learner must explain the consequence for this offer. Producing the exercise is different from demonstrating that the learner can make the distinction; success here does not establish general immunity to persuasion, retention or transfer to every kind of message. When no learning problem exists, a competent author can simply correct the expression.
