What are the benefits of being an Independent Beachbody Coach?

tbb


I’ve been an Independent Beachbody Coach for a little while now. I have a much better idea of what the benefits are and I thought I’d share them!

When I first started the program, it was really a no brainer to me because of the discount, and I thought, certainly, I am saving money every month by being a coach, I’m not stupid, it’s a good plan.

Now fast forward to the present. Why is it a no brainer? The money. I’m not going to lie about it. I’ll get to that later though.

So step by step here we go

Discounts- 25% discount. That’s awesome! By being a coach (which costs $15 a month) I save myself (even after paying the $15) $30 a month.  Or, to better put it… if I was not a coach, i would be paying out an additional $45 a month on things that I buy.

Incentive- I once heard a friend say, and he is in the fitness field “the best way to learn is to do it”. Well My exercise and nutrition has skyrocketed since I’ve been a coach. I’ve never been in this great of shape in my life!

Compensation- I’m going to put a lot under this heading because there is so much that falls under it.  The compensation plan is unlike anything I have ever seen before. You get 25% of the price of what people buy through you. Not only that, but once they are your customer, you get the residual income from it. In 5 years if they are ordering product or anything, boom, you get the commission off that.  Lets say 5 people buy work outs from you talking to them.  They work out and decide to get a recovery drink, bam, you get that commission.  And on and on.

This is where it gets really wild.  Once you reach emerald status, which is the very first level, Beachbody gives you customers! They want coaches to be there for customers, keeping them going through the work outs, answering questions, giving motivation. It’s great for Beachbody, and it’s great for the coaches.  I’m not kidding, my first week in being an emerald coach I got 8 customers! These are people who call in from the informercials that dont have accounts already.

Guess what… yep, you get residual income off of them too!

And This is even more awesome… check this out… the compensation plan, it has what are called “team cycle bonuses” basically, some people who are your customers are going to want to become coaches (its a no brainer), when they sign up under you, there is a points value system, which adds up. Without getting too technical this is the beauty of it….

You collect points on your entire downline. (you need to read that slow… because it’s awesome)

You collect points on your entire downline!!!

The better your downline does the better you do. Soooo… your entire upline does good if you do…. soooo… they are creating things left and right, coming up with new and awesome ways of promotion, new items to use, hosting webinars, all sorts of things! So much of the work is already done for you its incredible.

Now in order for the compensation plan to stay in existence there does need to be a limit… so yes, there is.

The limit is you can only have a team cycle bonus 96 times per day.  A cycle bonus ranges anywhere from $12-$20 depending where you are.

Do the math… its a no brainer.  I can live with that limitation.  In addition, there is no limitation on sales.. it’s just on the cycle bonus. So if you’re not happy with $15 dollars 96 times a day, then you just have to sell more.

I’m not talking it up. I’m literally this excited about it.

I have a sweet lady who was asking me about being a coach the other day.  She said “I know you’re going to tell me to do it, but I wanted to ask”.  That’s the problem I guess.  Anyway you slice it, it sounds like a sales pitch.

Look at my pictures.  I’ve dropped over 60 pounds… all while I quit smoking, and put muscle on… I would have paid thousands!  I would have said take me to the bank I’m taking out a loan. In all honesty, I looked up plastic surgery before. When I was 250, I looked at the prices on it. I just couldnt bring myself to do it.  And I’m glad I didnt!

Now… I make money from getting in shape!!  I’m getting paid to lose weight, get healthy, and point people to products.

You can’t tell me that isnt golden!

Ok, just a couple more things here because if you are anything like me this is baffling you to pieces. It’s doesnt make sense, it’s too good to be true, and all that other stuff. Trust me, I felt the same way.

It sounds too good to be true…. so let me explain.

I have worked in the logistics field for a long time. In our that field there are people that are called “owner operators”. They are independents, they get paid a higher rate because they are their own companies.

In every industry, more and more and more now, everyone is outsourcing. You can see it happening all over. Even on jobsites there are independent contractors.

Why do people do this? It saves $$$ Independent contractors you dont have to pay matching funds, taxes, insurance, your liability is lowered. It’s perfect. And you can pay them more, because you are saving a boatload off of them being independent contractors!

So again, here’s Beachbody. Hey, I’ve got this idea… how about instead of hiring models that cost a boatload, we have the people who have used the products be the before and after models, and they tell their friends about it. In addition it cuts way down on their work force, they can focus more on advertising and other areas, and all the while they have a giant force of people changing the nation.

Good idea Beachbody!

RevAbs: Incredible weight loss/muscle gain

RevAbs


RevAbs is another product brought to you by Beachbody. They are the makers of other workouts like P90X and Insanity.

Well, let me tell you. I love it and it works. Such an amazing work out. Tonight was my first night doing phase 2. I just finished the first 45 days of phase 1 a couple days ago, and I thought it was great. I expected it to be stepped up, but wow oh wow is it a jump. As Tony Horton‘s grandpa used to say… Man o Manechevits.

Tonights work out was all new. None of the same old moves with phase 1. Nothing that I had gotten comfortable with, nothing that I got cocky thinking I can do this. No, Brett Hoebel just pours it on.

First your warm up. You’ve got to appreciate Beachbody for the warm up and cool downs and stretching.

After that Brett gets you in to:

  • sideways walking planks
  • Superman
  • Some ab leg move that I’m really not sure the name of yet (come on, its my first night)
  • Twisting Jacknife
  • Mountain climb (you would think it’s a mountain sprint)
  • Running with sprawls

3 rounds, increasing in intensity…. sweat build quickly, everything going black, cant focus, oh…. we’re done? :)

It’s an awesome work out.  if you want to know more about it click here

What is an Independent Beachbody Coach?

What is a Beachbody Coach?

There is no definition, but I can tell you what I have learned so far.

Beachbody programs (P90X, P90X Plus) and supplements (Shakeology, Protein) have changed my life.  Their products work for me.  They are not the only things that work.  Everyone knows Jared from Subway (the guy still seems like a dork to me, no offense Jared).  The point being, Beachbody works for me, and I know it works for other people.

So that is the why of it, but we still havent gotten to the what.

What is a Beachbody Coach?

Beachbody offers a program called the Coach program.  Basically it is similar to the Avon independent sales reps and other programs of its kind.

It is an incredible opportunity and a great deal.  Here is the break down on it.

The cost to be a Coach is $35 (figures rounded up for ease).  That $35 includes your Coach welcome package which comes with a game plan, a couple dvds and come other things. After the initial purchase of $35, the program costs $15 a month.

Now, lets get some perspective on this.  My Ex bought in to the Avon program (and does very well at it) and it cost $900 for her to get set up as an independent Avon rep.  That is a huge difference!

The $15 monthly fee includes your websites (see here & here), and your coach office, its a back end of the Beachbody website and is an has an AMAZING suite of videos, promotional items, pictures, links, training, and more more more more more.

The Benefits of being a Beachbody Coach

  • 25% off all Beachbody products, including workouts, supplements, and equipment
  • Instant motivation to meet your own fitness goals
  • Supplement your income doing little more than talking to people and getting fit
  • Part time or Full time
  • Work at your own schedule and pace
  • Being your own boss

How you make money being a Beachbody Coach

  • Retail sales (products you order for people)
  • Website sales (sales from your websites, remember you dont have to have computer knowledge, these sites are built by Beachbody and all you need to do is post them on social sites like MySpace and FaceBook, or put them on your business cards)
  • Coach Bonuses (signing people up to the coach program)

Is the Beachbody Coach program a pyramid scheme?

One very easy answer. No.  The longer answer?  No.  Some people think that because you can get bonuses by other people signing up as coaches that it is a pyramid scheme.  First off, it’s not necessary to sign anyone up as a coach, if all anyone ever does is sell the products they can make a decent income by just doing that alone.

Aside from that, Beachbody does pay bonuses for Multi Level Marketing, also know as MLM or Network Marketing.

MLM is not an evil way of marketing, here is a list of MLM companies on a Wiki page.  It includes Avon, Mary Kay, and Pampered Chef.  Chances are you know at least one or more people doing these.

Advantages of Beachbody and MLM

One of the main things that stops a purchase is doubt. Think about it. How many times have you almost bought a product, only to be stopped by the thought, maybe it doesnt work, or maybe its not that good.

Now, think about how many times you have purchased something at the advice of a friend.

Intro MLM marketing.

Take me for example.  Everyone that I personally know has seen me drop over 50 pounds. There is not one question as to whether or not the product works.  It flat out does.  Its the same with any MLM company.  The salespeople are products of what they sell, they are walking examples of the product. That’s why it works.  Add in to that the tax, insurance, and liability benefits of having independent workers and you have yourself a brilliant marketing plan.  It is a system that works and has incredible benefits.
