Answer:

B. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 30% (to 10%) and put the released funds in AAA-rated corporate bonds

Explanation:

First of all, since the investor is risk averse and cannot afford to lose money on any risky investment, she should change the mix of her investment portfolio but without increasing risks. Corporate bonds that are AAA-rated carry a very low risk and pay a little higher than money market funds. So a small decrease in money market fund assets and an increase in AAA-rated bonds should yield a slightly higher return.

Investing in equities would be too risky and US Treasuries pay even less interests than money market funds.

Hitman42 [59]

The plan you present during the advise phase of your inbound sales strategy closes the gap between where the prospect is now and where they want to be.

Explanation:

Inbound sales is a strategy that gives priority to individual customers ' desires, concerns, priorities and ambitions. Rather, retailers seek to reach customers where they are and direct them through the decision-making process rather than concentrate on closing their transactions as soon as possible.

In that phase you need to paint an image that the current plan of your perspective will not get you where you want to go, and that the plan you are about to present will close the gap between where you want to go and where you are now. In your presentation, what you are doing is to explain how to close this gap.

Alika [10]

Tyson is "likely to score high on emotional intelligence".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Peter Salovey and John Mayer characterized emotional intelligence as the ability to track the feelings of one's own and others, to distinguish and properly mark various emotions, and to use emotional knowledge to direct thought and behaviour. There are five essential elements: self-awareness, self-regulation,empathy, inspiration and social skills, according to Daniel Goleman, who helped popularize emotional intelligence.

If you are lacking such intelligence, it is difficult to grasp how you are coming across to others. You feel confused because the message is not conveyed in a form that public can comprehend. But with training, people who are emotionally smart realize they don't express every idea beautifully.
