1. Go over day with retrain, build his/her trainer

Explain everything all over again.  Essentially you are “re-training” him/her on everything about The Academy. This includes the morning impact and situations pertaining to the field. Build respect.

  1. Develop a relationship with the retrain

Find hotspots and begin to develop a friendship. Sometimes these friendships may be all that person has during tough times. A good retrain talks more than you.

  1. Promote opportunity and big picture

Remember why you are here, and where you are going.

  1. Set the pace, lead by example

“Pace” is the standard. The best way to set a standard is to lead by example. Setting the pace means that others look up to you as a leader.  “Do as I do, and not as I say.”

  1. Explain Everything

Teach by repetition. Explaining everything will help the retrain understand the “method behind the madness.” Remember this is all new: atmosphere, pitch circles, never been in the field.  Explaining “why” is just as important as explaining “what.”

  1. Let the retrain help you complete the deal

You are part of a team.  On the first application of the day, have the retrain fill out the tablet.

  1. Take control

Be proactive make sure the RT is prepared for the day.  You determine how successful the RT will be.  You are building the future of your company

  1. Play “I spy.”

Instead of standing directly behind someone, watch the retrain from a distance. Have the retrain speak to customers alone. You can learn a lot about how the conversation is going by observing form a distance.

  1. Motivate every time you meet up

There is no “I” in team. Emphasise “we” so the retrain is exposed to the importance of working together.

  1. Go the Extra Mile. “Hard work commands respect.”

Lead by example. Whatever the retrain sees on his/her days of training is what determines their success in the program. Walk, talk, act like the owner.
