Director Suggestion for Established Directors

[amy07]

I know that we often worry about qualifying and training our new consultants, but for what it is worth, don't ever forget to recognize accomplishments of your "experienced" downline directors/team members.
Imagine my surprise when my director recognized 2 hospitality consultants for their recruiting efforts and "forgot" mine.

Did the override structure change, cause last I read she makes money off my team, but not hospitality? ***sorry for the vent**

 

[micocina]

Yikes!!! I don't have anyone I can call experienced at this point, but I will keep that in mind.

Sorry that happened to you. You're a recruiting Superstar here!

I agree! Is it possible that the hosptality consultants Director asked your Director to make a big deal of it, since she couldn't be there to do it? I really want to think that is the reason

 

[chefkathy]

I hear ya Amy. My director totally made a huge deal out of my sister director earning London last year--gave her a gift and everything--and did NOTHING and said NOTHING about my earning the cruise.You know we think you're awesome and that's all that matters anyway.

 

[amy07]

Thanks for your kind words. In hindsight I guess that was pretty whiny. sooo not my intent. But I think it serves as a reminder that even when a person promotes or maintains a consistent business it doesn't remove the need for recognition.

 

[chefruthie]

I totally agree, especially if the downline Director is AT the meeting! It's not always that we can make our upline Directors meetings. You aren't whinning...just making a valid point!

hahahah! I'm sooo not a superstar. I'm just consistent.

In all honesty, if it were not for CS, I would've NEVER understood the importance of recruiting early on in my PC career.

uhhhhmm, if it were not a regular occurence I would agree with you on that one!

I promised DH that I wouldn't complain to him anymore so that's why I have to share it here. He doesn't think I should go to anymore of her meetings.

 

[chefruthie]

Maybe you should ask her in a non-confrontational way if she is aware that she is doing this. She really may be oblivious to it and if you bring it to her attention she'll realize it and change things. What about if you miss a meeting. Would she wonder why?

 

[micocina]

Since I've started doing my own meetings I've forgotten about recognition for myself from my Director except for the occasional e-mail to the group when I earn something. I love her though and if we lived closer I would love to continue doing our meetings together.

You are going to do so much better with your team and that will make all the difference. You're learning what not to do. I know I've learned a lot here since I only went to a few meetings before becoming a Director and starting my own. This was a good one to keep in mind.

That's why we think you're a superstar.

 

[pamela]

recognition is so important no matter what level you are at~especially when you are consistent...Geez, isn't that what the company preaches with 3-2-1?!

I'm sorry you are being overlooked Amy~that's just wrong! Maybe you could talk to your Directors upline and let her know there is a problem??

Amy, I can totally relate. My former director was the same way. Certain people got all the recognition and then when I did the same or better - nothing. It all depended on who you were not what you did. She didn't think I'd really promote even though I set that as a goal from the start and she even told me that she wished I had waited a month when I did.

Some people are like that! Your director seems among that group or she was asked by their director to make a big deal and while doing she missed you. It could be an honest mistake - or is this a pattern?


I have to say that even though there's still too much whining, etc on CS I think it's getting better over there again. Directors and others are stepping in and saying things when people are off track. I haven't seen the back biting come from those corrections as in the past. If that keeps up I will be sending my team there (with qualifers that they go for info and don't live there). They need something more than me to get that recruiting spark. Thanks for commenting that CS helped you.

That's the point. And it's not just me, but my entire team that is overlooked monthly!

I am the distant director and have never been to my cluster meeting. This has not happened to me however, occasionally there will be a "congratulations to those who have -------- for this month so far" and my name is no where to be found.

I guess because I have only been recognized in newsletters and at Exec. Banquet, that it is something I am not used to anyway. My ED who is also my director is fantastic about sending little things and feels like she doesn't do enough for me, yet, I feel I get all I want and need from her.

However, I can not even believe that I would not recognize someone's accomplishment on my team and then give recognition to hospitality. I love hospitality but their recognition comes second...and that is if I hear from their director!!
