The Fast Track...

All financiers start at the Trainee position. But during the early stages of the seminar, they can receive an immediate promotion by forming the first partnerships with other financiers.

For each partnership during the fast track, all financiers move up one step on the corporate ladder. There is no need for the well to be successful to receive the promotion, and a major partner receives the same promotion as a minor partner. Shallow wells count the same as intermediate and deep wells for this promotion.

Subsequent and conditional wells in the same agreement do not count to receive this promotion.

To reach the CEO position early, you must be one of the first five financiers to be a partner in four deals.

The objective is to have five financiers in each of the five corporate positions: CEO, VP, Manager, Specialist, & Trainee. When the higher positions are full, a financier can no longer receive the promotion by the fast track. There may be a brief time when more than five financiers are in a higher position; the administrator will make the appropriate changes, based on share price, to correct the balance at the next 25-day evaluation.

There really is no way to make an easy set of rules that will work for all possibilities of financiers clawing their way to the top during the fast track. So during this time, the administrator may be making rulings that may seem unfair. Note: You cannot appeal the administrator’s ruling.

After reaching five financiers per position, the normal rules as to who gets promoted and demoted will apply.

 

The CEO's Salary . . .

. . . really helps your cash flow in the early part of the seminar.  Seriously consider getting the fast track positions quickly. And you might even get lucky with your wildcat wells to help your cash flow a bit more.

Joint Ventures & the Fast Track

Oil well drilling deals made with a joint venture give all joint venture partners a fast track promotion similar to a regular partnership.

 

Fast Tracking the Drilling Contractor

The first drilling contractor will be in demand to get wells drilled. For each deal the contractor is part of―even if he is not an investor or shares in the revenues―qualifies as a fast track promotion.

So buying the first drilling rig almost guarantees a CEO's job―and a salary of $5,000 per OF Day.
