Answer: Melissa, a proven salesperson from a competing firm

Explanation:

The best candidate for the role of a sales person is Melisa who is a salesperson from a competing firm. Since the objective of Eric Brown who is the human resource manager is to minimize training costs post recruitment, Melisa is the right candidate.
