If they didn't already believe that to some extent, they wouldn't be making the effort to talk with you.

Be sure to emphasize both the quality and quantity of what you've accomplished -- especially in terms of leadership, supervising, project management, budget management, strategic planning, bringing in additional business, training/teaching, people management, and of course any continuing education you've taken. You can't learn that kind of stuff in a book.
