What I want to ask you is if I should include a portfolio of my specific accomplishments along with my resume and cover letter or do you think that would be overkill?

If they're related to the job that you'll be doing or demonstrate competence at your old job, definitely be ready to talk about them, especially if you can use them to show why you're the right guy for the new job. A physical portfolio is probably less important, but can't hurt.

The fact that you're interviewing for an internal job change with somebody you already know could render the process more or less a formality if they think you're a good fit for the job. But I wouldn't count on that. Be ready to answer the "Why do you want this job when you already have that job" question, ideally without mentioning money.

I definitely don't want to take anything for granted and I want to assume my competition will be the best of the best. I am currently getting together some statistics on the work I have done to back up what I say. Thank you!

The fact you mentioned the salary in the post title scares me, it makes me think you are focused too much on the monetary value of the position.

I would get yourself hyped for the new responsibilities and challenges of the position. That will make your interview go over better.

That was more so to emphasize the level of the position to find out how much effort is right to put into this interview. I don't want to undersell or oversell. I am definitely hyped for the work itself as it would give me more autonomy over the marketing and recruiting aspects of the job performed.
