What is the Best Way To Find and Train Bird Dogs That Don't Suck?
I have worked with bird dogs in the past but mostly my experience has been underwhelming. Bird dogs that submit a few deals and go away are fine, even if the leads don't initially pan out. That's life. I chalk that up to someone working their natural market (friends, family, neighborhood) and seeing what they can get out of it.
But when I post a CL add for bird dogs I usually get a lot of "applications" from people who really don't follow directions and wonder why they don't get their ~$1,000 finders fee. What's the most effective way to build and train a team of bird dogs that are reasonably effective?

I don't have any current ads. Here is a fairly good approximation of the sorts of ads I've posted in the past. Please let me know your thoughts?
Would you like to make an extra $500... $1,000... maybe more?
I'm a real estate investor in the [city] area. I'm hungry for real estate at a deep discount and I need your help to find them.
If I CLOSE on a deal you refer to me, you stand to make a substantial "finders fee." You can earn a finders fee even if it's a friend or family member's house you send my way. Heck, you can get a finder's fee for the vacant house down the street if you can help put me in contact with the owner.
What do you say? This is a very SIMPLE way to put some extra money in your pocket! Respond email me and I'll send you all the details so you can get started today.
