How do you work with new recruits?

There are two approaches to working with your hard found new recruits.

You are Hands off! You say, “I’ll be here to help you if you need me.”

You work with a strategically designed plan of action that includes scheduled check-ins with you after each step or combination of steps.

Here is what happens with the Hands Off approach.

It works well if you have a self starter entrepreneur who is totally committed to being wrong, — often — as they learn the right way to build their business.

Here is what happens with a strategic plan of action with scheduled debriefing check-ins.

Your new consultant keeps moving forward building their business with a sense of accomplishment. She knows what to do, how to do it and takes strength from you being there. You are her sounding board on which she bounces her mis-takes and successes.

Choosing the Hands Off approach often leads to the 500 pound telephone. Without a solid training system that promotes duplication it is easy to worry about recruiting. Recruits new and old only pick up the phone when they are clear they can deliver their promises.

Building a strategically designed plan of action takes an investment in time, energy, often money. It also builds a strong sponsor and duplicating downline.

The “Hands Off” approach is terrific when it works. However, because it seldom works, it is a terrible waste of dreams, energy and hope

Hey Folks,

Ever look at someone else and think yourself inadequate?   Judith Warner writes a column for the NY Times and I thought this post poignant.  Too often we look at others and think we’re not doing enough.  The funny part about that, they often are looking at us and Judging themselves short.  It may well be time to let yourself off the hook.
