So what is COACHING anyways?
I'd love to tell you more about what is it that I do so you can
see if this would be a good fit for you...You actually see a lot of it on my FB
page {www.facebook.com/julescruz or www.facebook.comironromance} but
I am just there to help motivate and inspire people to live healthier
lifestyles and to push themselves to be their very best. I run monthly accountability groups where we all
workout, eat clean (most of the time) and motivate each other to stay on track with our fitness
goals. I'm by NO means a fitness professional, but I think that's why so
many people like to follow.. They are not intimidated because they know I'm
learning with them and sharing my journey too!
Honestly, I really think the best way for you to understand it would be to take a listen to this “what is coaching call” by my coach, Sarah Gaub and her coach Brandi Botts, a 15 star elite diamond coach.
Then take a look at this info- it's a little bit of an overload, I
apologize! I just want to try to explain it as thoroughly as possible with the tools I've
got {you will get more as a coach too}, to help you get the BEST idea of the ins
& outs of coaching! It's a little bit hard to explain the HOW- because
there are hundreds of ways to make this business run, and it's all up to YOU
{because YOU are the CEO!}. I run mine a bit different than the person next to me,
who is different from the coach next to them.
But here is the quick lowdown:
But here is the quick lowdown:
Sign up:
- $39.95 onetime coach fee- this includes your first month's business services fee, and your coach business kit, which comes with everything you need to start earning income.
- $16/month website fee-- this is the golden ticket to my business! It contains ALL of the necessary items to run my business- coaching tools, personal development tools, challenge ideas and templates, workout and nutrition plans and templates, productivity trackers, etc!
^^ The onetime coach fee is WAIVED if you purchase a challenge
pack when you sign up. A challenge pack is a fitness program PLUS a month of
the Shakeology. This is your best bet financially to get started-- challenge
pack prices vary depending on which program you want (I can help you with this
part) but my favorite ones are 21 Day Fix, Hammer and Chisel, Cize, T25, PiYo and Insanity Max 30. They typically cost $140-160. This is also a great way to start because
then you have a program to use yourself as you run your first accountability group! It is very important to ‘be a product of the product’… you can’t
sell things you don’t believe in!
That's it! So…for start up $140-160.
Sales/Products:
I will tell you this off hand- because sales IS part of being a
coach, you do have to know the product, use it, and brand it. By "brand
it"- I mean brand YOU. Promote YOU, your journey, your health, your goals,
and your triumphs and tribulations. Coaching is more about YOU and your story
of helping others, than the actual sales of the Beachbody products. Your story
and your PASSION will sell more than anything!
- Fitness programs- There are currently 25 Beachbody programs. These are ALL at home programs, ranging from your yoga lover, to your body builder. They are tailored to anyone and everyone- can be done in your own living room, vary in length, endurance and fitness level. But they are all EFFECTIVE.
- Shakeology- I am sure you either use protein powder, have in the past, or know someone who does. I was a HUGE protein powder person- and I always thought the kind we were using was "good". I realized after researching Shakeology, all of the ins, outs, pros, cons, benefits, lovers, haters, etc. of the product- that this was the healthiest one I would ever find. And you know what? I felt better within a week, had more energy, and my sweet tooth cravings were WAY less! Shakeology, in a nutshell, is an all-natural, non gmo, gluten free, dairy free (vegan flavors), powder that contains whey protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and only uses a small amount of stevia as it's sugar ingredient. AND it is NOW clinically proven to be effective {video below!} Here are a few quick youtube videos that I love!
- Misc workout supplements and gear- I have yet to venture into this area, because I enjoy the programs, challenge packs and shakeology so much! But there are vitamins & minerals, Energize pre-workout (an all natural energy supplement), clothing, fitness equipment and so on.
- Derm Exclusive: Amazing skin care line! How cool is that?!?! Even if you don’t want to market or sell this, you can get an amazing discount on a wonderful product! Made by Dr. Andrew Ordon from the show The Doctor’s! I personally have the chemical peel pads and they are amazing!
Earning income:
Ok, so let's get to the good stuff.. this will become more and more clear as you go through coach
training, my mentorship program, etc. within your first 30 days post-sign up! (I am here to HELP you every step of the way!)
- Sale of beachbody products: this is the HARDEST part for most people, because it is out of their comfort zones (definitely mine), nobody wants to seem pushy, and it's just plan awkward. The good news? I NEVER feel like I am promoting or selling. Sure, I am a Beachbody Coach. Hence the name Beachbody, it implies I am selling their products. YES, on one hand. But on the other hand.. I fully support the mission of this company, the products and quality of them, and the reason behind the mission- to end obesity. It is easy for me to promote or talk about it because it is literally changing my life! Just like you want to talk about that hair product you love, or the dress you just bought. It doesn't feel like selling because you LOVE it.
- Team cycle bonuses: (non product sales) this is where 99% of your income will come from as you start to build your team! It comes from the productivity of your team, their success, developing new coaches, hitting success club (a monthly goal that ensures you are moving your business forward), and more. Our team is currently ranked 75/400,000. This is HUGE! Coaching & building your business:
The first step to get off the ground- run a 7 day FREE challenge! I
send all of my coaches a "new coach" email, to learn about their
website, first steps to take to set things up, etc.. and then make sure I
connect within that first week via phone call or in-person to set up a game
plan! My most successful coaches are on their own journeys- and it varies from
weight loss, to life transition (baby, home, wedding, etc) trying to better
their health, and so on! Because social media is such a HUGE part of this
business-- everyone looks at FB, IG daily, most of my coaching work is done via
those outlets! You can spend as much time or as little time as you want on your
business- it can be 30 minutes/day, or 2 hours! I've increased the amount I
spend on it, as I get further into it, but it's definitely flexible to you-
your schedule, your routine, your needs and your life! Once you get off the
ground, your focus shifts from challengers to coaches. You begin to
develop your own team of coaches- some may have been challengers in your
fitness and nutrition programs, some may just be people you know would be a
good fit! Regardless, I build MY team based on those who have the same morals,
qualities and reasons for wanting to coach, as I do! I absolutely run challenge
groups, and am constantly getting new people invested in their health. But at
the same time, I am also now getting new coaches who want to make the same
difference in others lives! It truly makes my heart happy.
As a coach, I run FREE challenge groups monthly or bi-monthly.
These can be anything from a free clean eating challenge to a free squat
challenge (all these documents are shared in my team page as well). I also run
monthly fitness program challenges, where people purchase a challenge pack from
my site, and I provide them with a structured month long group for success (I
share these templates with you as well).
Incentive Programs & Support:
As you increase in rank, they reward you-- free customers, free
sales from infomercial sign ups etc... To giving you coaches for your team,
quarterly bonuses, free trips, free seminars and monthly incentives (workout
gear, tools, products etc). For example- I was granted a trip to Nashville
this past coming July for Beachbody's annual Health summit FOR FREE.
I earned it in my first 3 months as a coach- honestly, it hardly felt like
work! I wasn't putting a ton of time into it (30-60minutes/day), but I did it!
My team is amazing. I've never met a group that has been so inspiring, uplifting and
motivating. They didn't learn this from the company, or a textbook- it's just
how Beachbody grew and developed, and it attracted those qualities out of their
coaches! Another thing I've loved- they DON'T talk bad- they don't bash other
health programs or companies (isagenix, herbalife, etc) and they don't thrive on
negativity. I am a firm believer in quality, respect and positivity- and this
team is just that. Sure, we promote certain products, but the OVERALL message
of being a coach is this-- to END THE TREND of obesity. That's the underlying
message, and the bigger picture that makes us thrive as coaches!
