What points should I hit on when trying to convince a CEO....
I need to convince a company CEO (they have no internet ads as of yet)that they need to go on the internet and expand. What points should I hit on?

My brain is just not working properly today.

6. That just doesn't sound right in an interview.
I have an interview with the CEO and I am trying to convince him that he needs to go nationwide with the world wide web. Now I just have to find the words to sound professional.

I can sit here and say short quips and sound like I know what is going on but when the interview time comes that just won't do.

Thanks for the input I appreciate it.

2. When people feel the need to buy something
they go to Google, type "name of thing I need" and hit Enter.

7. Yeah I was thinking the same thing thanks for bringing it to the surface.
I think of good ideas but when it comes to putting them in print I can't figure out what to say.

3. Just tell the person that it's a relatively cheap way to get a wide-based
representation in an incredibly diverse market. Further, it opens oppurtunities for web-commerce, etc.

5. That's another thing I need to do
I need to come up with an e-commerce plan of some kind.

Like map it out somehow but my mind is coming up blank at the moment. But I'll figure it out somehow.

Thanks for the input all of it helps me in one way or the other.

I just need a few kicks in the right direction.

9. Generally, the groin, chest (center), thorax and any joints are...
good points to hit. Taking out the eyes is also good but they will usually block that move. Once you got 'em down, go for the finish!

10. Maybe something like...
Well we have the money aspect that everyone is already well aware of so not too much on that point is needed.

Next maybe I could point out that in getting the company together and setting this up will be a good experience and a way of making sure everyone is working together for the gain of the company?

Or possibly...ooops my brain went blank again I'll try to finish in a bit.

Now if anyone can give me pointers on how to express these ideas please feel enough pity on me to do so }(
