Thank You for each answer. It highlighted, for me, different aspects.
*Communication.
*Be upfront about what You seek....mmmmm's or ouchies....one 'scene' or a long(er) term relationship.
*Slow going.
*Enlarging of the new submissive's knowledge base and giving experiences that add to their own self-knowledge. Self-knowledge that will not only provide a harnass to protect them from predators, but also provide compass to where their kinks (may) lie.
*Being deliberate in education, in pulling the submissive closer with tasks/rituals
These were the points that stood out for me personally.
They confirmed some things I suspected and raised some issues I want to spend some more time thinking about.
A great big thanks to Each.
