Answer:

The correct option is (C)

Explanation:

One of the best traits of a good sales person is his ability to connect with people and seek important information related to their needs and attitude towards different products. They strike conversation informally with people to gain their confidence and build rapport.

Here, Brandi is confused as she feels it was not appropriate of her supervisor to talk to a prospect's secretary. However, she did not know that her supervisor chatted with the secretary in a friendly manner as secretaries spend most of their time with the boss and is well aware of his requirements. So, supervisor will be able to seek important information from her about the prospect that would help him convert it to sales.
