Managing people/bird dogs

Good morning,

2 questions:

1) In a nutshell, what experiences have people had with bird dogs? Have you guys done deals off of them, or do they just consume your time?

2) There are a few bird dogs and aspiring wholesellers who I might want to work with me.
There is a fine line between helping people develop, and straight up training your competition, especially if they live in the same town. However, the motivated people will succeed no matter what, so you might as well be a part of their growth.

So the question is, what kind of learning curve should I plan for them to ensure that we're both going to benefit and they dont feel like they're wasting their time, while giving them the room to grow and figure things out on their own?

Big questions I know...eager to hear your thoughts.

thanks,

Paul
