Most members of the board aren’t familiar with this aspect of the business, so we want you to briefly describe the factors you list, rank the factors, and explain your reasoning. Be specific when you explain so the board understands your rationale.”
“Do I need to conduct the research, as well?” you ask.
“We just need you to list and describe the factors at this time,” he explains. “You don’t need to actually do the research.”
“I can do that,” you say. “When do you need it?”
“Send it to me by the end of this week so I can review it before the rest of the board gets copied,” he says.
“No problem,” you say. “Can you give me an idea about how detailed you want me to be?”
“I don’t want it more than 800 words,” he says. “Between 600 and 800 words, I’d say.”
“OK, I understand” you say. “Thanks for your call.”
