Director Maintaining AD Title: Balancing Team Dynamics and Promotions in Direct Sales

[flemings99]

I have a possible Dir. promotion (my first), so I'd promote to AD.

My concern is we currently have 29 on the team. 7 of which is my possible D and her team. She's my "rock star" and I hate to say it but the rest are mostly slackers that rotate taking turns working their biz. I'm worried that I won't be able to maintain AD title if she promotes. So, if we both are paid as D in a given month does she pass me by?

I know we have the rebuild months and I do consistently recruit...just worried about losing my "star" to my up-line.

Our current month looks like this:
11 active (2 of them are my star & 1 person on her team)
11,450 in team sales, $4,120 of those are mine. $2,270 are my possible D sales.

I realize she hasn't met her team numbers or sales yet to promote, but I know it is coming...

Last yr. I'd been dancing:happyforyou: but last year we had a different team dynamic and my former stars are either gone or not working their biz. Last yr. we had over 21,000 in Nov. sales with less people. I know, rebuild...my concern is at what point does she pass me by?

Nope. You won't loose her under the scenario given.If you were a C, SC or TL & she promoted to D, you'd have that month & 2 more to match & keep her or loose her.You can both be D, both be AD, both be SD etc.You keep your D title for 3 months. So even if she's "paid as" D and you are "paid as" TL, you don't loose her unless you loose your D title.You get the rebuild months to do just that ... rebuild your team and replace what you've lost. So get out there & work that recruiting girl!!! Get your team stronger so when she does promote you are prepared for the loss. And get your sales, your team sales & the organization sales where you need them to be AFTER she's gone so that you are safe. Hope it happens for you and for her soon!

AD is a weird scenario because if you are a qualified D & she hits AD then you have the Org sales to get AD too. So its impossible for you to be paid as D & her to be paid as AD.But even if she promotes to SD & you only have the structure of AD, it's still okay. Heck she can promote to NED & you can be an AD & still be okay. D is the ONLY level where you have to match or exceed their level or loose them.

Thanks. That makes me feel much better.
