Woo-hoo!:D
I know what you mean; I've been doing this for over 6 years, but only the last year & a half have I actually been intentional about recruiting---it really makes a difference!
 
Congrats! You'll be director in no time with the roll you're on!

What have you done differently than you did before? I guess I'm asking what your formula is for "intentionally recruiting" ? :D
 
I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Thanks!! I've taken online training classes on the website, and listened to TeleClasses, specifically about recruiting! They've already invented & perfected the wheel....I'm just following their lead!!! I've also become better at overcoming objections~by taking more classes specific to that! :p I can't wait for Directorship!!!!!!!!!
 
Way to go, Sarah! I'm "intentionally" recruiting now, too, after 5 years as a "career FD" - I'm so close now I can taste it. I literally ask EVERYONE now - I don't know what I was so afraid of before!! Like my ED says to me, "its just a conversation" - love that phrase!!And you're absolutely right - PC has already invented and perfected the wheel - why try to do something different? I need to take some more of those classes to refresh myself. Thanks for reminding me!
