Abstract
A 278% increase in Internet traffic has moved providing a permanent ecommerce presence from an option to an imperative (Molitor, 2001). The Internet can generate new business if an effective e-commerce plan is a keystone component of an organization's overall business plan. This paper examines four roles an Internet professional can employ to match up with the appropriate stages a buyer is at in the buying process. The four roles include a) student; b) architect; c) counselor; and d) negotiator. With the dynamic support of e-commerce tools, these roles are important because they define how the Internet professional will help the buyer understand why the Internet professional's business is superior and worthy of the buyer's investment.
