Abstract: A method for designing an electronic transactions system and forming a proposal for doing business on a global communications network is disclosed. The invention includes reviewing existing direct sales screening processes, creating new processes, integrating new and existing screening processes, determining and implementing legal terms and conditions for electronic transactions and forming electronic media for posting. Additional steps may include identifying possible transactions based on available products and services, approaching subject matter experts to obtain data, preparing electronic templates and filter mechanisms, and presentation of proposed methods. Steps dealing with legal issues include incorporating terms and conditions of sales through the site, preparing agreements for financial institutions to govern electronic payments, and developing exclusion clauses for traditional third party contracts. Key project personnel create content for an interactive site on a global communications network.
