"Bird Dogs", Assignment Fees and Greed - 05/28/08 12:43 PM
Okay - let's start this one out the easy way. If you are a "bird dog", "locator", "consultant" or whatever name you use to call your unlicensed, uninsured, no background check business I don't care if you like my words, ever recommend my company to your "clients" or want to get in my face for what I have said for years and will say again and again so long as it holds true.
