What step can you take to help ensure your audience will be interested in your message?

A) Develop a general purpose
B) Time your message carefully
C) Develop an audience profile
D) Make sure the purpose is acceptable to the organization
E) Develop a specific purpose

Developing an audience profile can help you tailor your message to their interests and needs, increasing the chances that they will be interested in what you have to say. A general and specific purpose can also be important, but they are not focused on the audience's interests. Timing and organizational acceptance are also important factors, but they do not necessarily relate to the audience's level of interest.
