Episode 293: Simple Strategies For Onboarding New Team Members Successfully

Direct Sales Done Right

This week on the Direct Sales Done Right Podcast, Melanie and Katy share examples of onboarding challenges they've faced, illustrating the importance of setting clear expectations and providing proper support for new distributors. They emphasize that mindset plays a crucial role in the onboarding process; a positive and open attitude can significantly enhance the experience for newcomers.
Katy offers valuable advice for those who feel unworthy of leading others, encouraging a focus on personal growth and the recognition that everyone has unique strengths to contribute.
They highlight the need for an engaging welcome email as the first step in onboarding, but they also acknowledge that not everyone will respond to this initial outreach.
To address this, they provide strategies for re-engaging those who don’t reply. The conversation underscores the importance of consistent follow-up, as it fosters stronger relationships and keeps distributors engaged. Ultimately, they stress that onboarding should be a customizable approach, recognizing that each distributor may require different support and resources to thrive.
