Answer: A

Explanation:

Being clear on your objectives helps you to design the best approach to the dialogue.

There are some notices in developing dialogue with suppliers:

– All meetings should be documented

– Respect commercial confidentiality. Although insights gained from one conversation lead to questions in another, you must be very careful not to allow this to happen in a way that breaches the confidentiality of the first conversation.
