Coaching for Success—Beachbody Coach Network

Young Company Focus  (Feb. 2009)

Coaching for Success—Beachbody Coach Network

By Nancy Laichas

Joining a gym or starting a new diet can be the first steps on the path to achieving fitness or weight loss. But as many can attest, it’s taking the next steps—exercising on a regular basis or sticking with that diet—that can derail even the firmest commitment to embracing a healthier lifestyle.

Beachbody Coach Network, the two-year-old network marketing division of Beachbody, a leading fitness infomercial company, has made it its mission to guide people every step of the way in their journey toward leading a healthier, fulfilling life. And by empowering the company’s most passionate product advocates to become representatives, Beachbody is helping its 16,000 Coaches “turn their weight loss and fitness into profit.”

From Direct Response to Direct Selling

“Beachbody started in direct response TV with a small video fitness program on getting better abs,” says Michael Neimand, Vice President, Beachbody Network. “Since 1999 it has grown to be one of the premier infomercial companies, selling many very well-known and respected products.”

From the start, Neiman says, Beachbody Chairman and CEO Carl Daikeler knew that some customers bought video programs, but never took them out of the package. “They had a desire to make a change in their lives and took one step, but never took the rest of the steps to actually achieve those results,” he says. “So over the years, Beachbody started to introduce other products and services to try to get more people engaged in incorporating some regular type of fitness program into their lives—products focused on working with our programs and giving people the desired results they are after.”

In 2006, the company launched TeamBeachbody.com, a Web site where subscribers can access fitness advice, tools to monitor their progress and, of course, purchase products. It was one of those products that helped lead to the launch of Beachbody’s network marketing division. “The WOWY Super Gym [WOWY stands for “Work Out With You”] is a virtual gym,” Neimand says. “Our customers create screen names and they track, log and plan their workouts. When they enter a workout they can see who else is working out on our online community and many of them develop friends and support structures within that community to help keep them accountable to their programs.”

This online community included an active message board. Beachbody found that some users were offering advice, making product recommendation and motivating others. We started to discover that there were a lot of product evangelists on the message boards and they were coaching other people on how to get the same great results that they had received with our products,” Neimand says. “In essence, they were coaching people to success just because they were so excited about the products and the company.”

Daikeler believed that if people were marketing Beachbody products without any incentive, there was the potential for a very exciting secondary distribution channel—that’s when Beachbody Coach Network was born. “We put together an exciting compensation plan that would allow people to earn a very nice commission,” says Neimand. “We found that when people used the products and got results, people around them would ask what they were doing. And now they could refer them to their own store and make a very nice retail commission.”

Beachbody Coaches also earn bonuses by introducing the business opportunity to others. “We offer people the chance to get fit, both physically and financially,” Neimand says.

Total Fitness Solution

Beachbody’s video fitness programs offer something for everyone—incorporating everything from hip hop moves to kickboxing to circuit training into its workouts. “We have different trainers that have different personalities and different approaches,” says Neimand. “For example, Chalene Johnson does sort of a combination of kickboxing and aerobics and recently has introduced a new weight program where she is getting people lean through building muscle.”

To complement its video fitness programs and online tools, Beachbody offers a full line of nutritional supplements. Neimand says this three-pronged approach is called “Play, Shake and Share.”  “We offer a total solution to health and fitness,” he says. “‘Play’ means that people have to be active and we have a full line of effective and fun and compelling video fitness programs. The ‘Shake’ part is about making sure that you are managing your diet and sensible supplementation. We have online tools around meal planning as well as supplements. Lastly, the ‘Share’ part is about supporting people and passing on the opportunity.”

At its March Summit—a Beachbody Coach event—the company will launch its newest product, Shakeology. “We have done a tremendous amount of research on this product. We sourced ingredients from all around the world and built them into a very unique, high-quality protein shake,” says Neimand. “It gives you all of the phytonutrients, antioxidants, proteins, amino acids—everything you really need all in one shake. And we think that is really going to be powerful.”

Also at the Summit, this year held at Universal City in Hollywood, Calif., Beachbody will announce the winners of its Million Dollar Body Game®.  To enter, individuals submit photos and a short essay about their fitness achievements and eight winners are selected per month. The 96 monthly winners compete against each other at the end of the year. “At the Summit the top male and top female of the year will each win $250,000—the other six will win $50,000,” Neimand says. “We like to say that there are 250,000 reasons to get your health back on track.”

Connecting People to Products

Beachbody is a “products first” company, says Neimand, and its most successful Coaches are passionate about those products because of their own experiences using them. “Before they ever knew about the business opportunity, they had personal results with our products, which gives them great passion when they go out and market them,” Neimand says. “We believe that connecting people to products creates the business opportunity.”

To make it easy for people to participate in that business opportunity, Beachbody offers a start-up kit for as little as $39.95. New Coaches receive training and marketing materials and a customized Web site that allows them to sell products and start earning commissions in their first week. “We’ve created an opportunity that is totally accessible for everyone and is still large enough for those people who want to really have a lifestyle change and earn a significant income.”

Neimand says the most rewarding part of watching the Beachbody Coach Network grow is seeing firsthand how embracing a healthier lifestyle can transform lives. “The stories are incredibly inspirational,” he says. “It’s not just the people who have lost 100 pounds. Some people may have lost just 10 pounds, but that’s what gave them the confidence to change their whole lives around. Being able to come to work every day and see these success stories is really uplifting and just reiterates every day why we are doing this—it’s a really exciting part of our business.” DSN

Lesson 7:  WOWY and Win!

The Team Beachbody Virtual Supergym 

Do you WOWY?

Today I'm going to tell you about the WOWY Online Supergym.  

Be sure to read the whole thing because later in the lesson you'll learn how you could win up to $1000!

Soon after Beachbody started,  its founders Carl Daikeler and Jon Congden noticed something interesting.  Customers started setting appointments with each other on the message boards to work out at the same time, even though they exercised in living rooms on opposite sides of the country.  Through this inspiration, WOWY was born.  

WOWY, which stands for Work Out With You, is Beachbody's online supergym.  It allows you to virtually workout with friends anywhere in the world and "see" them in real time sweating alongside you. 

The beauty of WOWY is its accountability.  You simply invite a friend to be your success buddy, log in at your scheduled time, and look for your friend.  If you don't show, you better believe they will notice- and hopefully call you on it!

Friends don't do Beachbody? That's fine.  Everyone's invited under the fitness tent.  There's a spot where you can log in workouts such as walking, running, swimming, or other!   (So while running to the fridge doesn't count, virtually any other workout does!) 

Don't have friends who work out?  We got your back.  Just plan your workout in advance with the WOWY workout calendar, then either select a success buddy from the people already scheduled at that time, or allow yourself to be chosen by someone else as a success buddy.  It's that simple.

Beachbody can help you succeed in your fitness journey in several ways.  I already mentioned the accountability and the monthly calendar.  But there are other tools as well.  WOWY has a diary where you can write down your workouts, diet, how you are feeling, or what song you liked while you were exercising, or anything you like.  Studies have shown people who keep fitness diaries lose more weght and keep it off.  It's right there for you in WOWY.  

Another really cool tool (under the 'Other Tools' tab) is the Transformation Tracker.  Just plug in your fitness and weight loss goals, and update your tracker weekly.  It automatically graphs your progress!  Now you can literally SEE THE POUNDS SLIP AWAY as you watch your pullup numbers go up!  

Also in the 'Other Tools' section are the WOWY workout groups.  When you join a group, friends from that group are shown at the top of your screen, making it easy to find them when you log in! 

And now, the money question.  How can WOWY make your belly skinny but your wallet fat?

 

In the Supergym Sweepstakes, every day you log in to WOWY, you have a chance to win an i-pod, digital camera, or cash prize of up to $1000!!  How's that for incentive.  

To enter the daily Supergym Sweepstakes, at the end of your workout, when you click 'done', you'll see a link.  Follow that to the electonic entry form.  Simply fill it out and you'll be notified the next day if you are the lucky winner.  

Club members have it even easier!  As a Team Beachbody Club member, every day you workout in WOWY, you are automatically entered in to the daily drawing, no form required. 

I (Kevin) won $300 in WOWY a little over a year ago, and I have plenty of other friends from the community who have won as well!  You could be next, so log your workouts in every day!!    

Your Homework:
1.  Sign up (click here to sign up for free) then Log in at www.TeamBeachbody.com and click the WOWY button on the left side of the screen.  Then sign up.  To win the sweepstakes, you must have a picture uploaded, so don't forget to do that, too!
2.  Schedule your workouts for the next month in advance.  Treat them as an important appointment every day and watch your results skyrocket!!
3.  Join some WOWY workout groups.  My favorite group is cleverly named The Fit Doc Group.  I'd love to have you join us!  Ask your coach if he or she has a favorite group, too!  


As always, be consistent, make good decisions, and email your coach if you need a little nudge.  We are here to help you get Great Results!

Keep Pushing Play,

-Doc
