Asking the mentor for advice on what he wished he had known when he first started out and what the top things he would tell a new salesperson are, would be the most beneficial for Roni's concerns about her inexperience. This would allow her to gain valuable insights and knowledge from someone who has been successful in the sales department for a long time. The other choices may have some value but could be less helpful or appropriate for Roni's particular situation.
