Rules of Birddogging?

Being new I’m trying to figure out who the “respectable” investors are in my area. I got a lead this weekend that needed quick action. I attempted to pass it along to some trusted investors but they were MIA with the holiday weekend. So I passed it along to an investor I didn’t know. Since passing it along I’ve heard from a few sources that this guy is not the best and doesn’t follow through a lot of the time.

Would It be ok if I pass along the info to one of my trusted investor as well who I have more confidence in closing? My gut says this will reflect badly on me, but what do the rest of you think?

Thanks,

You could give the takeaway sale instead: “let me know in 24 hours or I will pass it along to another investor”. If the unknown investor is unresponsive, you can always say you gave him a shot before passing him by.
