Samantha should anticipate and outline the questions and objections the supervisors may have to the proposal. This will enable her to have well-informed responses to possible questions and objections raised during the meeting. An elaborate outline may not be necessary, but she should have a clear understanding of the benefits and potential downsides of the proposal. Focusing on only the benefits may not be effective in addressing the concerns of the supervisors. Being spontaneous without adequate preparation may not yield positive results.
