How Do You Pay Your Bird Dogs?

[Jeff G.]

I'm about to ramp-up marketing on classified ads sites to recruit bird dogs. What is the most common way to pay them? Should I give them an option (e.g., a flex option) on the contract that I have stating the amount of money they're going to get? Or, am I over-thinking it?

If there is more than one option I'd love to hear the pros and cons.

Thanks!
