There is no one more technically savvy than James Westover. Indeed, he has built two amazing cloud-based applications and started his own application development company, all within two years of graduating from college. Because of his success, James caught the attention of Cheryl Stevens, a venture capitalist who funds technology start-ups. Cheryl asked James to send her his best idea for a new application remarking, "if it’s anything like your previous two, you can count me in." James is worried about sending the idea without being able to clarify the very technical nature of his idea. Which of the following actions would you recommend James do at this stage in order to be MOST effective in communicating with Cheryl?

a. Thank Cheryl and politely tell her that the information is too technical to be described in a proposal and ask for a face to-face meeting.
b. Tell Cheryl that this type of information is very technical and ask if she has a technical advisory team that could help her.
c. Send Cheryl a PowerPoint slide deck with the information she requested and ask for her feedback.
d. Provide Cheryl with a brief proposal describing the idea in non-technical terms and ask for a face-to-face follow up meeting
