Frequently Asked Questions
What are the responsibilities of a coach? An Independent Team Beachbody coach's mission is to support the clients and customers of Beachbody. To a certain extent, we are 'cheerleaders'. We try to encourage and motivate our clients and customers to live a healthy and fit lifestyle. We are there to answer questions and offer help regarding products, workout programs, benefits, and features. Don't worry if you aren't sure of the answers! Believe me...I get some questions I don't even know the answers to! Don't be afraid to tell your customer that you are unsure and will have to check and find out for them. You can follow up with me and I'll personally get you the answer you need...even if I have to ask someone else myself ;-) When you become a Beachbody Coach, you'll discover how meaningful—and prosperous—life can be by helping others become fit and healthy.
Do I have to sell anything? Try not to think of this program as always trying to sell people. It's not like you're toting around Electrolux vacuums or anything. YOU WILL soon become a walking billboard of fitness. You will absolutely not believe the number of friends, family, coworkers, etc. that will say, "You look GREAT! What have you been doing?". Then, guess what? You simply tell them the truth! There is no hard selling. Do you have any idea how easy it is to 'passively' sell something when it's obvious that you are passionate about it? Even if you didn't join the coaching program, these people are STILL going to be asking these questions! Why not get paid for referring Beachbody workouts, supplements, and equipment? After you get them into a workout and on the road to health and fitness, they become a prime candidate to become a coach. That's when you begin talking to them about the business side of Team Beachbody. I tell my coaches all the time, "You can make EVERY conversation a Beachbody conversation". What experience do I need? None. You don't need to be a fitness guru, dietician, or personal trainer. No one will ever come to your home with a body fat tester or count the number of pull-ups you can do. You simply have to want to live a healthy & fit lifestyle, and then encourage and motivate others to do the same.
How much of a time commitment is the coaching? You can grow your coaching business as fast or as slow- as big or as small as you want to. You can make this a small referral business where you simply tell friends and family...it's totally up to you. No matter your goals, your Beachbody business really doesn't take up much time. I have coaches with 4-5 plus kids, family life, hectic work schedules, etc. They all manage to work the coaching into their lives. What does it cost? Very little! Your costs are an up front $39.95 (one time payment) and then $14.95 a month to cover your coach back office, web hosting fees, website, customer list, videos, tools, and more. You'll be shipped a professional looking nylon briefcase/carry bag loaded up with training and marketing materials. If at any time you decide the coaching program isn't for you, send your coach training kit back for a full refund. Guess what? Beachbody doesn't get many of these refund requests!
I've heard that network marketing/ multilevel marketing/ (MLM) is a pyramid? Is Beachbody's Coaching Business Opportunity a scam or illegal pyramid? NO! Beachbody workouts, supplements, and equipment are REAL products with MASSIVE demand. In fact, Beachbody could barely keep up with demand for P90X earlier this year ( I wonder if in part it could be because of my Youtube videos that have over 200,000 views in the past year? Let me explain to you about illegal multi level marketing / mlm pyramids. These pyramid schemes are based around products that have little to no value. Distributors are required to purchase large amounts of these "widgets" up front. The problem is...no one wants them! If the whole world's population participated in these schemes, at one point, everyone would be a distributor (with huge inventory!) and the earth would run out of people to sell these widgets to! Also, the money that new distributors pay for the inventory requirement goes right into the pockets of people further up the pyramid. The man or woman at the bottom of the pyramid has nearly no chance of success. Beachbody doesn't require you to purchase any inventory of products. In fact, even the coach marketing kit is refundable. Beachbody simply wants you to live a fit and healthy lifestyle, and then share your success with others. These are REAL products that get REAL results. I'm living proof!
Is This Opportunity Available Internationally? NO! Signing up as a Beach Body Coach is only availabe to residents in U.S.A. - there are some ongoing discussions to go international but where and when has not been determined at this point.
How much can I earn as a coach? As discussed earlier, numbers will vary. Below is Beachbodys statement of coach earnings: This statement runs from March 07 to March 08. These are VERY impressive figures when you consider the coaching opportunity is just a little over a year old. Earnings ranged from 0 to $305,000. Your own results will depend on many factors and I can't make any promises, except for these.... 1) We will work with you to get into the best shape of your life! But hey, maybe you just want to lose a few pounds and aren't interested in looking all ripped, muscled, and stuff. That's ok too! Whatever your goals, we'll reach them together. 2) We will train you on all the same methods we've used to grow my own coaching business. It's no secret---the more successful I can make you, the more successful I become. If you can't tell by now, I'm a results oriented person. ;-) 3) We will train you on an ongoing basis and help hold you accountable to both your fitness and business goals. This is going to be a big commitment on both of our parts. I'm ready, are you? ;-)
Shouldn't I wait until I've finished a workout program before becoming a coach? No! We encourage everyone to get involved right now---today! Look, you don't have to be a fitness god with 8 pack abs to do this business. You are simply offering support for workout programs that already have detailed workout and nutrition systems in place. What you have to understand...people need support when starting any workout program. Without that support system in place, many (most!) will quit the program in a few days/weeks/ months. You are simply that little voice that says, "How are your workouts coming?", "Do you have any questions", "You can do this!", "We're all in this together!". Anytime you get a question you can't answer, that's what I'm here for....that's what Beachbody support is for. Remember, the vast majority of Beachbody coaches are not nutritionists or certified personal trainers. They are regular people with families, full time jobs, etc. if you even think that this opportunity is for you, go ahead and pull the trigger right now, before other people that you know signup before you. Don't miss out on possibly having some incredibly talented people in your down line. Remember, when I sponsor new coaches, they can become your down line coaches too. Who should I talk to about Beachbody? In your first 30 days, I recommend you send introductory emails and phone calls to everyone you know! Studies show that if you are at least 25 years old, then you know at LEAST 1,000 people. Prospects can include: After you're done talking with everyone you know, I'll start showing you how to start talking with people you don't know! The internet is a powerful marketing tool - and I'll show you how to get all the free advertising you can handle! How often are commissions paid? Every Monday, like clockwork. No minimum payment thresholds. Set up your bank draft and you don't even have to wait for the check to arrive!
Are there any rules to follow for coaches? Yes. You will find all of the coach rules and restrictions here.
