Coach Tips

After nearly 3 years now of building my business with Team Beachbody, I've seen a lot of successful coaches/distributors and a lot that haven't been.  And there isn't just one determining factor either way, but one thing that I have noticed in our own business is this.
Starting and stopping kills momentum. 
I know that is not revolutionary. But let me explain. We have never really stopped at any time in the past 2.5+ years, even when we didn't know what we were doing. But until recently, we weren't necessarily doing on a daily basis the activities that kept the momentum going. And one of those simple activities is "2 exposures a day."  Day in day out.
Will that grow your business overnight? No. You may not see anything from it the first week or two. But if you consistently expose 2 new people to Team Beachbody, you are going to see a difference in your productivity. You will see a difference in the growth of your team. Especially if you teach your team to do the same thing. 
We have some super new 3rd party tools to help making that contact with people so easy! Talk less and let the 3rd party tools talk for you!
Then follow-up.
But most importantly, stick with your 2 exposures a day and see what happens 3 months from now, even 1 month from now.
So, here is what we have done in the past. We would talk to someone, then wait. We'd follow up with that person or try to get them to a meeting and we'd wait. Then eventually they would tell us they were or were not interested. The waiting or trying to 'hatch' a coach is what kills the momentum. You should be always talking to people and following up with people and enrolling new people and you will get in that continual cycle if you are consistently doing 2 exposures a day. You'll find you no longer sit and wait for that one person to say yes. 
Just as in the book "Go for No" the more you go after the no responses...the more yes answers you will get. But the pendulum has to swing both ways. You'll never have a pendulum that only swings to the yes!


Now. Get those 2 exposures a day. 


In this together,
Anne
