Are You A Director Who Prioritizes Training For New Recruits?

[etteluap70PC]

I am determined to promote to director!!!!

I have a question for all you directors....

When a cons. on your team recruits do you automatically email the new person and tell them everything they need to do or do you run it by the recruiter first? Maybee the person that did the reecruiting has done this allready?

I am a bit peeved and can't wait till I am in charge of my own team!

I can answer from what my cluster does.I have a recruiter who desperately wants to be a director after 11 years in the business. She does not have the personality for it (emotional issues). She butted in with my first recruit and contacted her and it was annoying! She also was mad when her director who is our ED and my director wanted to train me (WITH PERMISSION). Anyway, bad way to do it...My ED will contact me when I have a recruit, ask if I want to do the training, if we want to do 3-way calls/training, or if she should do the training. I am not a director, but she lets me choose.If you aren't a director, it is your director's responsibility to make sure your recruits are trained but I believe there should be communication with you and the recruit first to see what you want/need.

Thanks Janet... that's my feeling as well.

I know she means well. She is an awesome lady who in the past has had a rockin biz and acheived TPC many times. We just have different personalities!

I thought my director was training my recruits when I was new and only found out much later that she hadn't even called them. Good thing I was keeping in touch!


Here's what I do:

When someone recruits I offer to do the training and I offer it as a 3 way thing. I copy the recruiter on emails that I send their recruits so they always know what I am telling them. I want my recruiters to appear as the leader to their recruits and to feel comfortable in that role.

I call all new recruits to personally welcome them to the team. I start by asking them what their recruiter has told them so far. If it's a new recruiter I tell the recruit that she is a new leader and I am assisting her in her training by helping the new consultant out. I let her know that I will copy her recruiter on emails and that I will try to make our calls 3 way but she can contact me anytime with questions. Once the recruiter is telling them most everything I start telling their recruits that their recruiter is one of our leaders and that they will do the training but that I am there as a backup. I tell the recruiter that they are doing great and that I am stepping back and letting them take that leadership roll but I am right there for any support they need.

I had to take it upon myself to do training for my new recruits because my Director stood-up my first two recruits for their training. Very bad first impression of our cluster. She scheduled it and forgot (or was over an hour late)....so....now I do it. Good training for me for when I am a Director. We are all aware that some Directors are better than others.
