Do I Have Time to Be a Team Beachbody Coach?

Hey Coaches (or coaches to be) ;)

I have gotten a lot of questions and some concerns about having the time to coach. It can seem overwhelming at first to be a new coach or even for experienced coaches. There is so much to learn and so many tools available.

I have 3 simple suggestions:

1 - USE YOUR COACH! Your coach or closest diamond coach will have some things set up to make things easier.
For Example
- I use email templates that I created and just keep in a word document that has basic info that most people need and then I just have to add a few things to customize the message. It takes me less time to respond about the business and I can get through lots of messages faster and get better results because of that.
- I make myself available to speak to my coaches prospects for them. so all they have to do is tell people they are working with beachbody, some reasons why and then introduce them to me so I can help answer questions and sign them up new coaches. This way as a new coach you do not have to "Know Everything"

2- Use the Tools!
- Your office has Great video clips of inspirational stories, Business success, tips and even email templates to send. Just send those to your existing contacts and let the tools do the work for you.
- The Team training Websites have dozens of recorded training calls, marketing ideas and support for you. The tools that are already created work and allow you the time to implement them vs. having to create
- Pick one or 2 things that you like and focus on that. Do not spread yourself too thin. If you like email and blog focus on that. If you like visiting Dr's. offices or health fairs focus there. So when you carve out your business time you know exactly what you are doing and can maximize your time. (Here is another place to leverage your coach. Ask what they do and see if you can tag on or use their info etc)

3- Make it a Part of Your Life
- let your fitness speak for itself. By being fit and healthy it makes it easy to tell people what you are doing and they will ask! That saves a lot of time No pitch needed to memorize just say yes I do feel better, I am using ChaLEAN extreme and I have lost x pounds or X inches or have more energy etc.
- There is a great 1 minute trainer called "Follow Your Dollar" in the office. The concept is simple, every place you go to shop or do business is a great opportunity to leave a card, flyer or tell about what you do.

So in general, do not be an Undercover Coach! You want people to see you or your card and say oh yeah that is that home fitness coach. Better yet when people you know, speak to friends that need to get in shape you want your dry cleaner for example to say "Oh you have to call this person, they got in shape and have excellent in home programs" You'd be surprised at how much the topic of fitness comes up with everyone so the more people that know what you do the more customers or coaches will come your way

Maximize your time with focus and using the help and tools available. It really does not take more than an hour or 2 per day to build a strong business. And that can be spread in short increments too. Answer a few emails, post on your blog, and work it in to your daily activities for example.

OH, and of course don't forget the weekly business briefings that may be available in your area. Dallas and LA have them every week for you. I've posted details for Dallas so we'd love to see you and your potential coaches!

Keep sharing your success!
