Subject: Craig Martin
I spoke with Jeff about Craig, we both think he could potentially be a great guy, I shared a nice
conversation with Jeff. He said you are kind of scheduling everything, so in my opinion and haven't
spoken to Jeff about this is that you schedule Craig to come down 3 days before Jeff gets there and have
Jeff give him 3-5 items to look into and nothing more. Have him access the situation for those 2-3 days
and then stay 1 or 2 days with Jeff being there and let's see what he comes up with regarding those
items on the hit list. I also thought regarding the negotiation process, as I told Jeff the guys I'm looking at
are $180-200k, the guys at $150K are the fellows that don't last, are not qualified. I think this fellow is in
the correct salary range of $180-200K, which is what he's looking for. Think set him up so the one week
he is paid at a prorated rate of $180k - if after 5 days we spoke about above, Jeff feels like it's a go then
you do a 90 day trial period at $180K, after 90 days, which I will help you negotiate an employment
contract with him as you want 6 month breakaway + health insurance etc, which isn't not hard but I'm
sure some dumb lawyer will take a look at it. So take 30 days or so in the meantime Jeff has the 90 day
option so he can walk away or Jeff doesn't feel bad terminating him as that's happen and if 90 days,
Craig picks up then he moves up to $200K + benefits and we will have to work out 20-25% bonus plan of
some sort if he exceeds Jeffs expectations. This can be a little difficult but that's the area these guys
play in. I also didn't have chance to tell Jeff, but he really knows the Caribbean operation — reverse
osmosis, different types of grass, gray water watering- my opinion could be beneficial as long as Jeff gets
along with him and we see how his organization and follow up skills are, which is probably the most
important factor. If you are in agreement, I'd get a hold of him and asap tell him what date he'll be in the
Caribbean as the fellow is out looking for job. Why don't you speak with Jeff and let me know if I can
help.
