Training New Consultants: Effective Strategies for Success

[AJPratt]

What do you use when training a new consultant?

The Welcome Book that you can order from the Paperwork Supply List is what my Director recommended. I just sit down with them when they get their kit and I go through the Recipe For Success with them. I just try to highlight the important things. Just be there to answer any questions that they have. Sometimes I have to go to my director for helop with my recruits.
Ok a lot of the time

More. And I'm a total dork because I put my name at the beginning of all my files. I have SOOOO many things I've saved for future editing and use or for reference, it's the only way I can tell what I've already edited.

Anne,
There is a booklet on paperwork supply entitled Training Super Starters. It takes you through everything step-by-step. #AF15
It's only $2.50 and it's an excellent tool!

training a new recruitThe first and most important thing I did with my new recruit, was to say ok what questions do YOU have about this business and how can I help you with them. and then really listen maybe even takes some notes. then work on their questions and go through the welcome book and maybe highlight the PC BIBLE. (our gray notebook, my recruits catchy name for it...LOL)

This has really worked out for me because our meeting starts out all about them. I have one recruit, and have trained 3 others, unfortunately not mine. Long story.

Debi~These are great...I hope you don't mind but I borrowed some to use with my new recruits!

Please!! Use them! Like I said, I got some of it from here anyway. I also start out with an Interview. I listened to the CD about Interviewing New Recruits several times! I first want to know why they're interested and what they want out of the business so I can help them achieve their goals, not mine. Now, I have to admit, I only have three recruits BUT my Director is FABULOUS (Sandi Griffin, got her ruby ring last year) and she was training me way before I ever even signed because I was always asking questions.

Love your documents (I saved several). I might use a few at time with my new recruits... I worry about overwhelming them. I LOVE the way you spell out the getting started on PP. Thank you so much for sharing all of these. I like that you save with your name!

I do know I plan to get them to create short term goals to meet. Here's the super starter sheet my director sent me (I am trying to get myself to USE them - this training is so new to me!!!
