Internet Business Marketing Ideas for Small Businesses

Here is a simple a quick way to find bird dogs. It will take a bit of memorization and repitition until you get it right. Memorize this:

Would you like to make a little extra money on the side?

You will probably want to explain that it is legal (check local and state laws first) and you are paying for information they already have.

They know when their friends are wanting to buy a new house. All they need to say is, “Hey, I know a guy who can make you a great deal, I’ll have him call you.”

They pass along the clients phone number and you give them a call.

This would work for car sales, furniture sales, heavy equipment sales, farm tractor sales, retail sales, boat sales, real estate sales, rental property, etc.

REIClub.com has a section of an article that lists some professions that would make great bird dogs.

Here’s a listing of the type of people you want to recruit into your network as bird-dogs:

1. Mail carriers
2. Trash collectors
3. Doctors
4. Dentists
5. Employees
6. Fellow club members
7. Fellow church members
8. Door-to-door salespeople
9. Delivery truck drivers
10. Tradesmen
11. Repairmen
12. Business colleagues
13. Co-workers
14. Neighbors
15. Friends
16. Tenants
17. Taxicab drivers
18. Utility meter readers

I would add beauticians, hair stylists, and nail professionals. These people (mainly women) talk with their clients during the entire process. Have them mention your name and what you sell.

After you have found your Bird Dogs, it is essential to negotiate a fee. A common fee in real estate is $500 per deal. This includes people selling and people buying, and also potental rental property.

After you have found your bird dog, give them some of your business cards and tell them to write their name on the back.

If someone comes to you carrying your business card and their name is on the back, make sure you pay that bird dog.

If you treat your bird dogs well, they will be more than hapy to continue to send business your way.
