Day 28: Graduation Day

Congratulations on making it through Coach Basics Training!!!

Day 27: Continuing Your Education AFTER Coach Basics Training

Continuing Your Education AFTER Coach Basics Training

Beachbody can sometime be complicated and overwhelming.  There is a ton of information and you will not learn it all overnight (heck, I am still learning new things daily!).  What do you do or where do you go when you need help?  These are the actions I take when I have a question and I strongly suggest you do the same:

1.  Search the Beachbody FAQs (I usually have to Google Beachbody FAQs to get the address since I don't have it memorized):  https://faq.beachbody.com/app/home/lob/team

2.  Search for your question on YouTube.  There are thousands of videos made by Beachbody coaches that cover numerous topics on YouTube.  If something in the FAQs doesn't make sense, I will typically go here next.

3.  Ask your upline sponsor coach.  They are an excellent resource when you need advice or tips and have probably had the same question you are asking at some point in time.  If you need the answer ASAP, however, I would skip 3. and go straight to 4.

4.  Call or online chat with Coach Relations.  I prefer online chat and I usually don't have to wait to chat with someone (the most I have waited was 4 minutes).  You can start a chat by logging into your online office and click on Contact Us at the bottom of the page.

After Coach Basics training, there are other leadership training that you can do once you get close to or hit Diamond.  You can ask your upline sponsor about these trainings or they will present you with them when the times comes.

Day 26: Identifying & Recruiting Coaches

Identifying Your Coaches

As a coach it is up to you to identify these challengers who are seeing success in their weight loss and are really having an over all great experience! Typically those challengers who thrive in the challenge group, will thrive as a coach!

Here is how you find them:
1. Are they posting daily?
2. Are they posting their experience to their public news feed.
3. Are they telling you that they love the group and their journey?
4. Are they encouraging to other challengers by commenting and creating relationships within the group?
5. Are they taking on some sort of leadership role?

Approaching and identifying potential coaches is very crucial to the growth of your business, but you also need to be thinking about presenting the opportunity of being a coach to other people outside of your challenge group!! The best way to do so is to share your successes, experiences, and joys of being a coach on your social media, and also sharing a call to action about joining your team!

Day 25: Supporting Your Challengers

Supporting Your Challengers

Think clearly about your personal journey with your weight. Yep I said it YOUR WEIGHT. Was it a sensitive topic? Was it an emotional experience? Were you battling some sort of anxiety? Depression? Battle wounds? Weight gain comes somewhere very mental, not just physical. Usually weight gain is the physical product of emotional scaring. Trust me… I know. I am a product of emotional eating and binge eating that caused me to YO YO diet my entire adult life. It caused constant tears and constant self pity which led to more weight gain! Do you get it?! Okay, so if you get it put yourself in your challengers shoes. We are not just here to encourage and motivate them to lose weight, we are here to be a shoulder. We are here to be an ear. We are hear to be a friend. Here are some tips for treating supporting your challengers:

1. Do not use such negative words as “fat, lazy, tired, bulge, couch potato, muffin top.”  These words are derogatory and negative. Remember, we have fat, we are NOT FAT. If you have never had an issue with your weight, it may be hard to understand why these words cut deep. They are negative, and are usually hurtful. When discussing weight loss, your wording needs to be positive, encouraging, and friendly. Here are some examples:
“Fitness, self improvement, unwanted weight gain, healthier, work towards more energy, extra weight.”  Your words need to always be positive and uplifting.
 
2. Be kind to your challengers in the group. They need to feel trusted by you and the other challengers. When they post their nutrition daily, you need to be there to encourage. If you see something that is “not so healthy” do not publicly tell them that what they are eating is bad. Do not tell them that they need to improve on something publicly. Private message/text/email/call your challenger and ask to have a private conversation with them about their choices, and encourage them with some ideas on better eating choices, and recipes. Be careful when offering advice! Do not cut them down or ridicule them. A great example would be to say “I am so proud of you for always posting your nutrition. It really does give me a good idea of how you a re doing as my challenger and how I can better help you achieve your goals! I noticed that you have had McDonald's fries three times this week. I understand that they are delicious! But perhaps next week try having it for one cheat meal on Friday night! Or a great alternative would be to make your own fries! Perhaps chopping a potato into slices and baking on high with a little sea salt! This is a much healthier alternative and I think it will serve you better in your goals”.

3. Create a group chat on the side with your challengers, especially if you are sharing the group with another coach!

This is a great way to get some group conversations going! Ask your challengers in the page if they would like to be included in this conversation! Send them daily encouragement and messages about self improvement.

4. Check in privately with 2 challengers a day. If you only have 5 challengers check in with them privately more than once a week! In fact check in daily if you can! Give them a personal touch! You could even grab their phone number and text them encouragement in the morning as they start their day. Remind them why they are making this change!

5. Offer daily recognition for your challengers. Congratulate those who won the weekly group prize, those who have seen big changes in their body, those who stayed on point with their eating. People love to be recognized and it does offer encouragement!

6. Share your progress, your food, and your fitness. Be a leader and set the example. Post your nutrition, and your weekly posts.

Day 23: Challenge Groups

How do I find coaches? How do I grow my business? Do you find yourself asking those questions? The answer is quite simple: Challenge groups! 

By promoting a challenge group every single month you will grow your retail business. By promoting challenge groups and executing successful challenge groups, you will find your coaches. But wait? How do you find coaches from your challenge groups? Well, when you create and execute a successful challenge group, and help someone have a transformation story, they typically turn out to be THE BEST ADVOCATES FOR THE PRODUCT! They become walking talking billboard. People will begin to ask your challengers how they achieved their results and with what!? They will start directing people to the Beachbody website and to the program that they did! By now, you may have already experienced this yourself! I would suspect that these challengers would want to earn a little side money for directing people to Beachbody, and I would suspect that these people would want a discount on something that they love so much! Your job as a a coach is to execute a challenge group in which your challengers can have fun, stay accountable, and achieve their goals. This group needs to be a safe haven of understanding, support, and encouragement. Have you caught on to the Beachbody Culture yet?! It is up to you to create that culture within your challenge groups, so that by the time your challengers graduate from the group, they are ready to keep the lifestyle alive and join our team!
