Secret 5
Keep them close
You new team member is like a young child. You wouldn’t send your child to school and not expect them to come home to tell you how their day was right?

Secret 6
Teach them to follow up professionally
Depending what skill set your team member has when they arrive you may have to teach them how to schedule appointments. Some guys don’t even use a planner when they start!
Either way teach them exactly how to follow up and what to say, and what not to say!
If you do a good invitation the follow up process has already been set up and should be smooth because the prospect knows what to expect.
As with the invitation it is very helpful to do some role-playing with them here.

I agree that you need to keep in close contact with new business partnersat first, or they may “drift away”.
I have often done role playing with new team members or dialed the first few calls while they listened in.

Absolutely. It seems a lot of sponsors lose focus of where they were when they first started and how necessary it was for their up line to be there for them.
At the same time, I think it's safe to say that many new recruits can waste some of your time if you allow them to.
