Starting My Company
Hi,
I had an idea that I wanted to run across you guys.
I want to get as many deals as possible. I have several friends that want to work with me.
This gave me an idea.
I told my 5 friends that I would give them a flat bird dog fee for every deal that they brought to me . By deal , i mean homes put under contract and sold to an end buyer. After closing and I'm paid, they are paid the referral fee.
Then I thought, Why not take it a step further ?
Here is what I would like to do. I'd like to charge a Gold Membership fee or call it something else. By paying this fee you will get training on how to prospect and bring me deals and when the deal is done , instead of paying a flat referral fee, they will get 50 % of whatever profit is made.
Am I on to something here or do i need to scrap the whole idea.
I'm all about getting the most that I can and this was my idea.
What do you think ?
Thanks guys, I'm loving this site !!!!
Sean
