Effective New Consultant Training for Success

[amy07]

for those of you who are not directors yet,when you sign a new recruit, do you train them or do you send them to your director for training (if available). Do you let the recruit decide?

Before I was a director I thought that my director was doing the training but I found out that she had not (thanks for letting me know I was responsible for that early on - lol). Fortunately I had kept up with my recruits and answered their main concerns but several have told me they had felt on their own. I did start having meetings about 9 months before promoting and knew I was doing all the training then.

Make sure you know if your director is contacting and training your recruits. Don't assUme.

I ask each of my recruiters how THEY want me to handle it. Often they want to do the training themselves with me as their backup. OF COURSE their recruits come to my meetings for that training and I have a good relationship with them but sometimes the new recruit (if they don't live locally especially) wants to communicate with only the person they joined "under". Just gotta know how to read each individual.

I believe that all recruiters should have a hand in the training so that their recruits see them as their leader.

I have trained all of my recruits from the beginning.
