So, you're a Beachbody coach. . . What's that?

"So, you're a Beachbody coach. . . What's that mean?" 
A friend asked this to me a few weeks ago. It sort of took me by surprise because I had been talking about my new adventures frequently but when you are inside of a project it's easy to forget that others don't understand what you are saying. This was one of those times for me. I went on to explain to her what a Beachbody coach does and I want to share my response to her with you.

As a Beachbody coach I sell Beachbody at home fitness programs, fitness equipment, Shakeology and other health supplements. But, that is only a small small fraction of what I really do as a Beachbody coach. The majority of my efforts go into supporting others in their personal fitness journey. I encourage people to make positive lifestyle changes and stick with them. I direct them toward tools to support their goals so they can achieve them. I work on me along the way too. Coaching is accountability for me to be intentional with my eating and workouts. It encourages me to continue to learn more about health, fitness and becoming the best version of me possible. When you put all that together you get a unique product in a Beachbody coach. I also share how others can become a Beachbody coach and enjoy the same personal benefits I do.

Let's create a few scenarios to explain what a Beachbody coach is in action.

• When you purchase a product like 21 Day Fix from a Beachbody coach, like me, you become my customer. As my customer you receive my support for as long as you want it. What does that look like? It means that if you are struggling to find foods to fit the program guidelines you can contact me and I will help you find things that work for you. It means that I will check in with you along the 21 days to see how you are doing ask what your struggles are and brainstorm with you ways to help overcome struggles for you to reach your goals. I am your personal cheerleader! 
• If you create a FREE Team Beachbody account through my website you become my customer. Does it mean you purchased something from me? No, but you still get access to a host of health and fitness tips and a personal coach, me. I provide the same service to you as I would to a customer who purchased Shakeology on home direct for monthly delivery or a PiYo Challenge Pack. I am invested in your success. 
• You've purchased a PiYO Challenge Pack from me and we've done a challenge group together. You were a great contributer and brought a couple of people to the group. I notice this and mention to you that you could get a discount on Beachbody products and earn a little extra income along the way so you decide to become a coach yourself. That's not where it ends. No, you still have a coach, me, and I will be there to help you along the way with your own coaching business. You will not be dropped into the business ocean and left to drift. You'll get training, you'll be able to ask questions and we will grow together toward our individual goals. 

I hope this clears up what it is to be a Beachbody coach. At the core it is about helping you reach your personal goal and having a platform in which to do that.
