2.0 Reaion:l Offices
Branches to be opened in the next five year period are to be targeted for the following regions:
2.0.1 No west -- Office to serve Northern California, Washington, and Oregon. Location to be
either San Francisco, Portland, or Seattle.
2.0.2 Southwest -- Office to serve Southern California and Nevada. Location in San Diego or Los
Angeles.
2.0.3 Midwest -- Office to be in Chicago, Minneapolis, or Detroit.
2.0.4 South _entrai_ -- Office to be in Dallas/Fort Worth.
2.0.5 Northeast -- Office to be in Hartford, Boston or New York.
2.0.6 Southeast -- Office to be in Atlanta, Tallahassee, or Jacksonville.
2.1 Locittoe and Size of Offiee
Initially each office will be a modest two room affair in a business center using shared
facilities for reception, secretarial services, fax, copy room etc. This low-cost facility will
be maintained until local business volume justifies a move to larger and more permanent
facilities.
The offices will be planned around the acquisition of a high calibre sales professional who
will be recruited and appointed as a Regional Sales Manager and General Manager designate.
The individuals chosen must have the necessary talents for public speaking and an ability to
handle the media. The function of the Regional Sales Manager will be threefold:
2.1.1 To sell HBI inspection and monitoring services in his designated area.
2.1.2 To support regional tobacco industry staff as expert witnesses, conduct indoor air quality
presentations, etc.
2.1.3 To offer solutions to questions of work place smoking policies following the rationale of
Covington and Burling, John Fox, etc< from a legal perspective and HBI from technical
viewpoint.
The early sales of inspection and monitoring contracts can be secured by travelling head
office staff. Then, as soon as the sales volume justifies the need for further technical staff,
a Technical Supervisor (Technical Manager Designate) will be recruited. Ideally, such staff
will be from promotion from the head office technical pool.
Progressively over the next 18 months, the regional office should build up to a autonomous
profit center with a staff of eight people, the organization of each regional office at that time
will be:

professional recruitment agency. An initial salary of up to $60,000 plus a car will be
supplemented by a profit sharing scheme plus an incentive bonus package.
The existing profit sharing plan pays from 0% to 15% of annual salary to each employee
depending on overall company prof ts As an incentive to the regional offices, a further
bonus will be paid to the regional general manager and the technical supervisor based on the
following schedule:

2.2.2 Realizing the annual forecast profits for the region will qualify the general manager and
technical manager to receive 7% and 3% of those profits respectively.
2.2.3 Any profits in excess of the annual budget will result in further bonuses of 21% and 9% of
those excess profits to the general manager and technical managar respectively.
