How are our new directors doing?

[Happy Chef]

We'd love to hear your successes and any struggles. This is usually a teams most productive time of year.

I'm still "in training." LOL! My team did over $7000 a month each of my first two months as Director (I have 7 actively selling).

I have one recruit who is about to go inactive (kitnapper) but keeps reappearing from out of nowhere telling me she wants to meet and get started then disappears again, and two more who are just getting started. Overall, things are going great.

I am almost not "new" anymore, promoted in January. My year has been pretty steady with a slow growth to my overall team, consistent learning for me on how to work with each team member and really embracing the mentor part of being a director.

I have 10 on my team right now and 7 are active; the other 3 tend to come in and out of activity (some of the 7 do too) but I feel I'm getting better at being the support system to keep everyone focused on staying active and achieve their goals. Some want $$$, some want products, some just want to be around other adults!

My biggest problem remains an inability to find a groove with recruiting new recruits. I feel I am an excellent director and love helping others achieve. I have read and reread and listened and relistened to all training on the subject of reruiting but still slow. Don't worry, I know I'll get it sooner or later but it is a frustration.

So...that's my story!

I'm probably going to jinx myself by sharing what I think is working for me (14 recruits since April), but here goes:

I make a couple passing references to the business during my show, but towards the end I simply say: "I've been a consultant for xxx months [1 year for me now], and I am very comfortable recommending it. I'd be glad to share any information if you think this may be a good opportunity for you." It's a sincere statement that comes from the heart....and I think people see that. I then offer again, individually, during the check-out process. (Most of my team members are actually former hosts.)

My whole approach though, is that it has to be right for them and only they can decide that. If they are remotely interested, I tell them I will work with them to ensure they are set up for success before they sign. From there, it's a matter of hearing what it is they want out of the business and respecting that.

I really don't like the whole 'recruiting thing.' The push from HO has me deleting anything they send out about it. I just try to stay focused on how much this business gives back to me and how it can do the same for others. I try very hard to give the potential consultant the space to make her decision. (That said, I do point out that going for it is essentially risk free :angel:)
