I can do this job ... no, really, I have a plan!

Tips and suggestions for a 30- 60- 90-day business plan for a promotion interview?

I have applied for a job posting at my company and need to create a business plan for the first 90 days to provide to my interview panel. The job is for the same role I am, but two levels up and for a "flagship" location. This is a retail environment with a large staff and the role is typically held by those who are the "next in line" for the District Manager role. I know the business inside and out, know the geographical area, but there are some complications because I am a recent member of this company due to a merger. So, although I have a lot of experience, I have weaknesses from a company process point of view and will probably need to spend more of the first 90 days teaching myself things that I knew like the back of my hand with my old company, and plan to incorporate that into the first 30 days of the plan.

So, my question is surrounding those who have either written these plans or have interviewed people and required them - what are your tips and suggestions for knocking this thing out of the park? I have a basic outline and content, so this is just to polish up and add stuff I may think is inconsequential because I'm confident I can perform at this level, but want to ensure I don't leave anything out that a new manager (to whom I'm unproven) will look for. I've searched Google and have reviewed all the basic formats, but I'm looking more for personal thoughts based on my situation.

Thanks in advance!
