The right people are ones that can work within the team on a mandate that everybody agrees on.
So they're all going the same direction.
But you don't know that when you hire somebody.
You're not sure.
So don't hire them.
Hire them as contractors first.
My standard deal is, look, let's work out your contracts as if you were already successful.
Let's get that and put it here on the shelf.
But I'm going to pay you 30% more to be a contractor for the next six months.
And at any time during that six-month period, we can change our minds, say you fit into the team, it's all working, or you can walk away saying, I don't think it's going to work here.
And it won't be a blight on your resume.
You just acted as a contractor, so you don't have to say you were hired and fired, and I don't have to do the same to you.
And then you'll just find out if you fit into what we're doing.
And I do this with the CEOs for sure.
I just hired a new CEO for WonderCare, and I made that deal with him, and he agreed.
He liked it.
This guy's a rock star.
And he's come out of a giant tech company, not necessarily a watch guy, because it's a watch insurance business, but that doesn't matter.
He understands the tech and how to operate and how to build the website and how to advertise and all the rest of that.
But he said, I love this idea.
