Creating a team that works is a long process that does not happen overnight. I've seen agents hire anyone and everyone just to say they have a large team. Most of those agents are idle, non productive individuals. When creating a team, one needs to test the agent before hiring.
You'd never buy a vehicle unless you did a test drive. You wouldn't purchase real estate unless the systems of the home passed all tests. Why would you create a team without testing the individual first? You may find out that your new team member is not living up to your expectations, and now the swinging door comes into play!!! That's not the proper way to create a team.
Your team should be built one agent at a time. Test the water by referring business to the agent that you have envisioned as your team member. Never have a discussion about teams until you are ready to hire. Just test the agent with many referrals. This is a long process and when you are convinced that the agent is competent according to your standards, then there should be discussion about the possibility of forming a team and that agent becoming the first team member.
By creating a team one step at a time, the agent now has the sense of what to expect as a member of your team, and you have experienced the results of providing referral business to that agent. If the end result is productive for both parties, the future team leader and team member, go forth and create that team, one agent at a time.
