meeting.
b.Offering the customer a cup of
coffee.
c. Asking the customer if they
have any questions.
d.Summarizing and recapping.
HINT: Answer the question from the best
method of communication perspective.
8. Answer and Explanation
The correct answer is D
Choice A is incorrect since taking minutes of the
meeting is not a good way to wind up a meeting.
Minutes of the meeting should be taken during the
meeting and not after the meeting. Choice B is a
nice offer but here we are talking about effective
communication and not being a nice person, so
choice B is also incorrect. Asking the customer if
they have any questions is a mandatory
requirement of effective communication but you
must first wrap up your meeting by giving a
summary of understanding in the end. Therefore,
choice D is the best answer to this question.
