Send a text message to one of her clients and reschedule the meeting. d. Go back to her hotel room and wait for her clients to call and apologize

Answer 1

c) Send a text message to one of her clients and reschedule the meeting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kiara should do everything that there is in her hands to reschedule the meeting. Even though it is unprefessional that a client wont´t show up to a meeting without notice, she should walk towards her objetive despite her feelings about it. Her objetive is to try to sell and so in order for her to accomplish that, she should keep trying even if things are not eassy, or is she has to insist. The job in sales departament requires some times to insist.
