I Have a New Consultant That Told Me to Stop Calling Her so Much

Click For Summary
Frustration arises from a new consultant's lack of communication and effort, particularly after three unsuccessful shows. The consultant claims she did not receive a Mandoline in her kit and has not received a receipt, which has been disputed, as records indicate otherwise. Despite the consultant expressing a desire for independence, she has not engaged in the required training and has shown inconsistent commitment, leading to concerns about her motivation and potential intentions regarding her kit. Suggestions for addressing these issues include direct communication to clarify misunderstandings and emphasize the importance of fulfilling her agreement. Some participants share their experiences with similarly unresponsive consultants, highlighting that not all recruits are committed to building their business, which can create stress for team leaders. Overall, the common theme is the need for clear communication and setting expectations for accountability in new consultant relationships.

I just sent an email to one of my recruits who is approaching her 90 day deadline and only has submitted $60 with a reminder of her dates, plus a reminder that:

"when you signed your agreement, I promised you that I would train you on everything you needed to start your business. While you have never attended a New Consultant training I have continued to personally invite and offer each monthly training and phone coaching to you. I also promised you that I would match your effort with my time. Please let me know if it is time for me stop contacting you or if you are now ready to take the necessary steps to begin a successful business."

Do I think it will tick her off? Probably so. But I also want to remind her that this is HER business to lose, not mine. And I also want her to see that I do not take any responsibility for her lack of success or her failure to attempt to try.
 
That is straight and to the point, Amy. I like it. If it ticks her off, so be it.

I think that's great!! I may have to use it in 60 more days!
 
UPDATE: She has already responded!! by email no less, but it did get her attention. She doesn't seem upset, just the same old line "i have alot going on right now". Of course no explanation to what the other stuff is.

My response (cliff notes version;)):
as a friend: sorry for your circumstances
as a business associate: sorry for your circumstances. I cannot help you until I know what you have and have not tried and if you want to try. I need to know if/when you are ready to start.

bless & release.




NEXT?!?!
 
Great response Amy. I think really realizing that THEY have to take some part in their business and we don't have to hand-hold them helps take alot of the stress out of being a Director. Although I want (and I"m sure we all do) everyone who signs with me to be successful. I just have to remember it is at the level they want and are willing to work for.
 
Let her know that if she has decided she has too much her on her plate, you can help her send back her kit. (Yes, I can be bad)
