How to market and find leads to build your business?
Having been in the fitness industry since 1991, I have done the majority of fitness profession’s and positions that many fitness instructors and personal trainer’s have on their bucket list.
With teaching group fitness, personal training, Creating and Developing my own Video workout line, presenting at fitness conferences such as 24 Hour Fitness Xpedition, Camp Do More, Evolution, DCAC, and Can-Fit Pro, filming professional workout videos for Chalene Johnson and Beachbody’s instructor workouts Turbo Kick and PiYo, to managing and developing many fitness professionals in becoming professional master trainers and presenters….all the way to where the BIG BUCKS are…. developing entrepreneurs who LOVE fitness with Being a Beachbody Coach.
The reason I end with Beachbody Coaching is, because that is honestly the only position and profession that allows you to impact an unlimited amount of people not limited to territory or who you know as well as the fastest and easiest way to make unlimited and full time income. I have to laugh at the “full time income” part because I THINK my multi-millionaire, millionaire, and 6 figure earning coaches didn’t consider that THAT was going to be their “full time income.”
(Current income levels for my personal coaches as of April 2016)
I’m a teacher by nature, not for kids, but adults. In all of my profession’s starting back when I was an x-ray tech and then into Medical applications of digital X-ray equipment- I was the trainer.
In the fitness industry, I moved into becoming a professional Presenter and Master Trainer for Chalene Johnson’s company, Powder Blue Productions in 2000. For over 15 years, I certified THOUSANDS and helped launch many into fitness careers.
In 2008 is when I decided to become a Beachbody Coach. I did NOT think this was a business I wanted to get into back in 2007 when someone first told me about it. I thought it was dumb. I didn’t understand why someone would want to pay a monthly fee to get their supplements and workout videos from them. “I don’t NEED home workout videos, I’m a group fitness instructor. You only get a REAL workout when you go to the gym.” Well, that’s what I thought. And after a year of me recommending Turbo Jam and the hand weighted gloves to hundreds of people, I decided I might as well get some commission for that, and joined as a coach.
Being a coach isn’t about selling people product. Honestly, the amateur coach will and can focus on that. Most of the time, that will bring in a little bit of income here and there, depending on how aggressive they get out there to “sell.”
But for me, I don’t LIKE selling people stuff! I really only like giving people direction, a system to follow, and keep them accountable. I just like to tell people what to do! 😉 ha! That’s why I’m an instructor, the class follows! ha!
But honestly, my forte is in fitness career development, leadership development, and online social media marketing.
Now, the latter- social media marketing is all because I HAD to learn that stuff. Back in 2008, all that was really popular was Blogger, YouTube, and MySpace. That’s all I was on. But the way society consumes information, entertainment, and educating has all changed since then.
Everyone is a tech’y and thinks first about Google, YouTube, and Facebook. So, I’m just an eternal student.
I personally love to figure things out, create a template or cheat sheet, and teach other’s how to do it. If you like people doing all the hard work for you and just boiling it down for ya, that’s me.
With growing my Team Platinum Presenters over the past 7.5 years, our Team is the largest team with 200,000 coaches in the downline. Additionally, our team has the most about of multi-millionaires, millionaires, SuperStar Diamond Coaches (the top possible rank to achieve in the company in a business) and the highest earning coaches.
I know it’s not accidentally or because we’re all super cute, 😉 it’s because of our continued focus on developing ourselves and others, leading together as a tribe.
Starting your own fitness business is hard and expensive. It will require a TON of time, hours away, stress, and risk. I’ve seen many entrepreneurs take that path, and in the end lose money, time with their family, and throw in the towel.
With being a Beachbody Coach, it’s not that you are selling out or giving up all your goals and dreams for building your fitness empire…..it honestly just allows what you wanted to grow for yourself, to grow a ton faster. Having a business model you just plug into, with a full line of products, customer service, web sites, and so much more, just done for you.
BUT- you still are you. Building your brand, following, and offering your skills is A LOT easier when people will naturally be attracted to you for a household name that is google’d a ton of the time. YOU can be the person they find and connect with.
We all are different and people naturally gravitate towards others they have something in common.
NOW- just because I have a DANG HUGE team, doesn’t mean I have to coach them all! Holy Cows, NO! I personally mentor the people who are directly signed up with me as their sponsor Coach. I don’t sign a huge amount of Coaches per month, because I don’t want to spread myself too thin, Infringe on my priorities (my husband, kids, and the freedom of controlling my time and availability) and have the availability to work with my team.
When I bring on a new coach, I plug them into my training suite and walk them through a step by step, day by day, training system that allows them to get started with ease, without frustration, or being overwhelmed.
I personally mentor and work with those who continue to make forward motion and to “Live Fit Out Loud.”
Staying visible and inviting people to the journey is the foundation of being a business as a Coach. With my personal guidance, success, and track record, developing your own income in fitness is super streamlined.
