I know this is going to sound dumb, but I have never had to request Hospitality for any of my Team members. But I have 1 that doesn't want to make the drive to my house every month (she's an hour away). So, even though I knew of a Director close to her, I called HO to get a referral, because I wanted her (Director) to get the credit thru HO for recognition (if it is ever needed). They gave me the Director I already knew of, which I'm very happy about. I've left her a voicemail. Now what?
 
You wait for her to call back. Then you work out recognition, etc, through her.
 
Hi there,First of all, there's no need to feel dumb for not knowing how to request hospitality for your team members. We all have to start somewhere and it's great that you're taking the initiative to do so now.It's understandable that your team member doesn't want to make the long drive to your house every month. It's great that you're looking for a solution that benefits both of you. Calling HO for a referral was a smart move and it's great that they gave you the director you already knew of.Now that you've left her a voicemail, the next step would be to follow up with her if you don't hear back within a reasonable amount of time. You could also try reaching out to her through other channels such as email or social media if you have that information. It's important to communicate clearly and promptly with her so that she knows you're serious about wanting to recognize her for her hard work.I hope everything works out and your team member gets the recognition she deserves. Keep up the good work!
