Building My Team: What Should I Do?

In summary, the expert recommends starting your own mini meetings with your recruits and continuing to attend your director's meetings as long as they are still in your director's downline.

Okay here is my situation.

My Recruiter/Director is great. She and her director tag teams our meetings and does whatever possible to help us succeed. My Director is going to be moving in March. I am currently building my team. What should I do? Do I start training the recruits that I have now the way I want to??! I don't know what to do?! What did you all do when you got your own team?

So anyone? Are you guys starting out your own meetings as soon as you recruited 2 or what? What is the game plan for you all?!

I"ve really tried to recruit but about to give up; maybe if I give up it will happen :)

Do most of you wait till you are director to start your own meetings? I don't think there are any directors at our meetings (except the one running the show :)), just consultants and futures.

Do you start little mini meetings with your recruits, and still go to your director's meetings for awhile? I think I would like to do this, but I don't have any recruits yet.

In the case of my director moving away, I think I would have little meetings and maybe try to make my director's meeting if I could, upon occasion, depending on how far away they moved, or use a hospitality director for support.

I can't really say for sure, because I don't have this issue yet, but just some thoughts.
 
My director is an AD. She and one of her 1st line directors do meetings together. I am very close to being a director, but we haven't talked about what we'll do about meetings when the time comes. They are starting to involve me in the meeting planning and I am leading a short section at our next meeting.

I have seemed to recruit consultants who live farther away and are unable to attend my directors meetings. Two are going to hospitality. I may start doing meetings more out their way just to keep us together, but I haven't decided yet.
 
My director moved when I had 3 active recruits (only 2 were local) and I started having my own meetings. I invited those that were in my director's downline too (my director's suggestion). It helped fill the room, I had them help with the meeting too and I got a jump start on how to "be" a director. It also put the major bug in me to promote! If I'm doing this I want to get the perks too!

Do it! Your director will help you come up with ideas for the meeting plans and maybe she'll even share the materials that PC gives directors each month to help with that planning.

Thank you! I will talk to them about it tomorrow! Thanks
 
I have a friend who is also a Future Director and we are thinking about starting our own local meeting for our recruits. Our Director is an hour away and we want to offer something local.

I say go for it!
 
I have three local people and am a future director with 6 recruits. There is a director in my cluster that lives in my town but she only has two locals. We talked about doing our own meetings, but my director frowns upon people doing meetings until they are director. The director in my town doesn't do meetings because she couldn't care less about them. I am hoping to be director March 1st, but it isn't looking very likely at this point!

I think I would like to mesh mine with MY directors. I like having all our girls there together. :D
