How are you and your teams doing? Its important to gain momentum and depth during this busy time of year and most important have a positive attitude.
Well, for me, one of my recruits just signed her first yesterday. I'm a bit concerned but I think it will be fine ultimately. This recruit of mine has gone back and forth numerous times on whether she wants to stay with the business or not, she refuses to attend any training, and I even can't get her to do the online training. She also won't accept training calls. I could go on and on. However, she does great at her shows (she could sell glasses to a blind man) but I can only imagine how her customer care REALLY is.
Regardless, I now have a team of 10 (7 first line, 3 second line) with 2 desperately trying to get their second recruit so they can promote to FD.
My first month as a Director was my highest ever ($4200 personal) and my team did over $7000. I'm loving all the info I'm finding on how to lead my team. And I have my Cluster Web set up with everyone's stats from last month.
I'm feeling good about everything right now. I'm trying to take it slow and steady and think through everything I'm implementing because it will be harder to maintain as my team grows.
Thanks for asking!

My team is doing really well! We have added 6 consultants in the 2 months since I promoted (from 11 to 17). My first month as a Director we barely made it to the $4000 mark, last month we soared past the $6000 mark. I really need to get more shows added to my caledar! It's embarrassing when my consultants have a more successful month than me. :o I am very proud of my team and have really been using a lot of the fabulous ideas from this site to get them to stay motivated.
Thanks!

September was my teams' first month. Sales, without me, were $3200...but they are already over $4000 for October (without me...yeah!). Added three members last month and am working with two for October/November.
I have one consultant who just went inactive, but is dealing with some significant issues...she may come back on board once she moves (again) later this year.
I'm taking this week 'off' to focus on director business and tools (such as cluster web). There is so much to learn....a little overwhelming.
Debi: congrats on the personal best...woo-hoo!!!!

Slow going but trying to add new team members..for some reason I can't close the deal! I have 5 fence sitters...keeping my fingers crossed and keeping in contact. I am going to the New Director Academy this weekend, hopefully I will learn lots of amazing things :)

I promoted in January. I now have 9 active on my team, all mine, and have lost 2 since I became a director. My team is mostly very part time -- and many are geographically distant by 1-3 hours, so I'm always happy when we make $4,000 AND I have 5 to keep my directorship!
I feel I am getting better recruit leads now and handle them better than in the past. I am confident I will have a team of 20 by this time next year.
Two of my gals are working toward directorship and one is working to become a future. Currently NONE of these gals has a recruit so the potential is really good if they continue to follow thru on their goals.
