What do you do for New Consultant Training?

[Happy Chef]

I try and take them to a show if they are local, get them to attend Team meetings and try and meet with them at their home for a 1 on 1. Plus encourage them to take the training and tele classes from PC.

We do New Consultant Cook & Books -- of the 4 consultants on our team, two of us host the Cook & Books monthly alternating months. I also encourage the new consultants to come to a show or 3 with me and come to our cluster meetings.

It depends on whether they are a host, guest or home office lead and how they feel. I offer the idea of observing shows (even if they have hosted) and for most I do a 1:1 phone call (or in person) 1 hour training session after they get their paperwork and then a 20 minute call before the first show and another short call after that show. I call at least weekly to check in and encourage them to email any time or call if they have something pressing.

Of course I make sure they put the monthly meeting on their calendar (and I remind them). I am in close personal touch with each of them during their first few months if they want me to be.

As my team grows I am sure I'll need to reassess what I do but it works for me now.

I can't get anyone interested in them. I have offered them and also sent the offer out to local directors. How are you marketing them?

I'm doing a new consultant training for my downline this coming week. I had signed 4 consultants in less than 3 weeks. So I thought getting them all together at once would be better. Any suggestions?

[cmdtrgd]

I've heard of doing a sleep-over training. Book a hotel room, order pizza, get breakfast delivered and train all night long. It will get the information into them, you can get silly, and a bond will be formed.

[chefkugler]

that is interesting. Out of the 4 one is from another state. It is close by still though.
I wonder if anyone on here has tried this?

[annew]

Do you have some sort of agenda for the training???
I've kind of slacked in this area & would like to improve on it....is it better to have a group or individually???

[chefkugler]

Anne,
Where in upstate NY are you?

[annew]

I live between Binghamton & Oneonta....in Unadilla.
where are you??

[chefkugler]

I'm from a town called Valatie. It is 20 minutes south of Albany. I always say upstate NY. So when I saw yours said that, I was wondering how close you were. I usually don't just say NY. Everyone then assumes the city. lol

[annew]

Ok now it rings a bell. That's great who is your upline?
I know I do the same thing :)

I just posted on CS the New Consultant Training documents my Director uses. We do training every Wed evening, on a rotating basis, with each of us Directors doing a portion

[Happy Chef]

Can you post them here too?

[Debi]

Can you post them here too?

Sure! And I can't take full credit for these. My Director actually originated them and they've been tweaked. Here you go...
