Building Birddogg Team

Whats up BP,

I have been go at it hard driving for dollars in the hampton roads area the last couple of weeks and as everyone knows that have done it, It can really drain some gas. We all also know that you should only do something yourself for so long before you just past the task on to someone else. 

So posted a ad to Craigslist looking to build myself a team of birddoggs. Have anyone had any experience doing this and if so how did you structure it? and how did it work out for you?

The way I am structuring my team is as follows: 

Everyone will be a 1099 contractor

All leads wil be submitted through a online form specific to each birddogg that will feed into there own section in podio.

I will pay minimum of $500/ house I buy they send me or just might make it 10% of whatever I make from a deal with $500 being the minimum. If I decide on the later they will not know the percentage I am paying them just the minimum per deal. 

Those who are good, stick around and are interested will eventually move up to being salesman in my company strictly commission at 25% per deal. And we will find another birddogg to replace them. 

All my training will really be simple. I am going to put together a document or powerpoint showing exactly what I am looking for and what not to send me. It will have pics of common signs to look for and things that are definite property dis-qualifiers. 

So please let me know what do you think so far! Also let me know if I am missing anything you think would be a great idea or vital to this working thanks.

Oh, and I have started doing Facebook Marketing as well! If you know of any good tips or places to find good education on doing it would be greatly appreciated.

Be aware that in many states this would constitute unlicensed activity and can land your birddogs in jeopardy.
