Answer:
The correct answer is D. Following up with a phone call
Explanation:
As quoted straight from the textbook "Effective networking usually includes four predictable stages: exchange of information, assessment, collaboration, and follow-up."
Perfect example. Let's say we're both business owners. My business is in making jewelry and your's is in women's shoes. Maybe we see each others ads etc and feel inspired by it and want to possible create a piece together. First thing we would do is set up a meeting and exchange information. That is the first stage.
The second stage is where we would assess several different things. Let's say in this instant we're assessing our cost of creating this pair set of jewelry ans shoes. (Assessment stage)
The third stage, which is collaboration. This means, the action to work with someone in order to produce or create something. We would then work with each other to figure out or CREATE the plan to produce the shoes and matching jewelry, as well as execute it.
Then lastly, we would follow-up. This is usually a phone call, meeting, email etc. form of contact. None the less though. You are following-up on everything you previously discussed or completed for that particular situation or product etc.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EDUCATIONAL FUTURE :)
