Welcome to Team Beachbody and The Fit Club Network.
We are so pleased that you have decided to join our organization. The Fit Club Network is a rapidly growing group of energetic Coaches looking to capitalize on the unprecedented growth of Team Beachbody. We cannot promise that this business will always be easy, but if you view it as an opportunity to help other people reach their fitness goals, then we can promise it will be rewarding.
We want you to understand that we view you as a partner in our business. Together we can change the disturbing obesity trends in the United States, while gaining financial independence. This combination makes Team Beachbody one of the most attractive businesses on the market currently.
In order for you to be successful there are a few things you need to do as soon as possible.

c Become Familiar with Our Resources
Using our resources allows you to leverage off or our efforts and allows you to integrate into a vibrant community full of valuable resources.
· The Fit Club Network Website
We have spent some money, and a lot of time, on our website – www.thefitclubnetwork.com. We did this, in large part, as an effort to provide free resources to the fitness community and our business partners (you). You can leverage off of our efforts by participating in the conversation and directing people with questions to the site.
Take a few minutes to subscribe to the website. As a subscriber, you will be emailed all new posts to the website. You will find that they are informative and helpful with programs such as P90X. When you subscribe to the site you can forward these articles on to your customers and contacts and explain to them that they come from your business partner.
You should also review and bookmark the following pages on the website:
· http://www.thefitclubnetwork.com/about-us/about-team-beachbody/ You can direct your prospects to this page so they can learn more about the business. We will talk about this approach in further detail on training calls or with you individually, but you need to be able to access this page quickly so please bookmark it.
· http://www.thefitclubnetwork.com/2009/01/p90x-nutrition-plan-made-easy/ This is the number one viewed page on our website. At the time this was written, this post was third in the Google search “P90X Nutrition Plan”. You should be familiar with this resource as it provides a complete break down of the plan, and provides valuable resources that can’t even be found in the P90X box.
All of this content is provided free of charge to everyone, but you can leverage on our ongoing efforts by directing your contacts to these resources. Establishing your own blog is an important part of your marketing efforts, but we strongly encourage you to affiliate your business with our organization.
· Message Boards
We run the BUD Team Message board. “BUD” stands for Believe, Unite, Deliver and is a message board that Monica started a few years ago. You can access the BUD Team thread via www.getfitwithbuds.com. The message board is full of great people that will help you with your fitness goals. It is also a great place to bring your customers. If you direct a customer to our thread, please send Monica an email at to let her know. We will make sure they get taken care of.
Also, your sponsor may have his or her own message board. Please discuss this issue with your sponsor to determine whether this is the case and where you should go to log on.
c Register for Team Fit Revolution
Team Fit Revolution is a larger group of Coaches that includes the Fit Club Network. Go to www.teamfitrevolution.com and register. Once you register, you will be sent email invitations to two weekly training webinars. The Monday night webinar is a business opportunity presentation where you can direct your Coach prospects to learn more about the business. The Wednesday night webinar is a business training presentation. After the completion of the Wednesday night Team Fit Revolution webinar, we will be holding a webinar for Fit Club Network Coaches. Please try and leave Wednesday nights open for these training sessions. They are very important to building your business.
c Complete Team Fit Revolution Training Modules
The Team Fit Revolution Training is a comprehensive guide to your new business and the compensation plan for Team Beachbody. By completing this guided (audio) training, you will cover:
· Fast Start Training – Some of this will be repetitive of the New Coach Training offered in your Team Beachbody back office.
· Goals & Hours – Here you will establish your goals and determine how much time you will need to devote to your business in order to reach those goals.
· Dream Board – Now the fun begins. Dream your dreams, and then go to work to make them a reality.
· Home Office - Learn how to set up a fully functional office in your home.
· WOWY Training – Learn more about the tools available in the WOWY Online SuperGym. This is a great marketing tool and unique to Team Beachbody.
· Marketing E-mail – Discover an easy way to share your new business with people you already know. You will be surprised at how many of them have already heard of Beachbody, and its outstanding products like P90X, TurboJam and Shakeology.
· Compensation Plan – The compensation plan can seem complicated. This training will explain how it works and how you can start getting paid quickly.
· Contact List – Learn how to generate a contact list based on the people you do business with on a daily basis.
· Prospect Manager – This important training will teach you how to establish prospects, but more importantly how to follow up with those people and respond to their concerns.
· Call Scripts – Not sure what to say to someone interested in the business opportunity? This training will help you polish your “pitch” so you can easily show people all the benefits of this amazing company.
c Join the Team Beachbody Club.
The Club is covered in the Fast Start Training Module above; however, we feel it is vital to the success of your business, which is why we reemphasize it here. In order to sign others up for the Club, you have to be a member and use the tools that are available. Club benefits include.
· Your Personalized Meal Plan
· Expert Advice
· Expert Advice from Beachbody® Trainers
· Video Content
· Exclusive Video Content
· Fitness Tools
· The Million Dollar Body Game®
· Enter your workouts in WOWY® and you are automatically entered to win up to $1,000 or other cool rewards like iPods, DVD players, and cameras every day!
· As a Coach you are entitled to a 25% discount on products. Customers that are Club Members receive a 10% discount on all Beachbody products. For a customer that is a regular purchaser (for example, a Shakeology customer), the Club makes perfect sense.
The Club will cost you about $40.00 per quarter; however, you receive half of the Club dues paid by each person you enroll in the Club. So, if you sign two people into the Club, your Club dues are paid. Club memberships add up. Enrolling 10 people in the Club will earn you $770 per year. Enrolling 100 people in the Club will earn you $7,700 per year! Over time, these subscriptions help build your business.
c Purchase the Showcase Pack or Other Fitness Program
You must be on a fitness program to be successful in this business. You do not have to be a fitness trainer, but you do need to be on a fitness journey. The Showcase Pack, at a cost of about $199.95 is a true bargain. Here is what is contained in the pack.
· P90X® with Tony Horton
· Power 90® with Tony Horton
· Turbo Jam® with Chalene Johnson
· Slim in 6® with Debbie Siebers
· Hip Hop Abs™ with Shaun T
· Yoga Booty Ballet® with Gillian Marloth and Teigh McDonough
· Plus, the B Lines® Resistance Bands Super Kit
· Squishy Ball
The Showcase Pack is also a great way to build your business because it will allow you to become familiar with all the top selling products, and it will provide you with an instant library of DVD’s to lend to friends to they can sample products before they buy. If purchased separately, these items would cost in excess of $400. Once you start selling, you could also sell your Showcase Pack DVD’s separately and realize this profit.
c Get on Home Direct
Home Direct is Beachbody’s automatic shipping service. This will allow you to keep your Coach account “active” (a minimum of 50 personal volume points every 5 weeks) without thinking about it. We highly recommend getting on Home Direct for Shakeology. Shakeology is a revolutionary new nutritional supplement that contains an entire day’s worth of nutrition in one simple and tasty shake. It is also one of our top selling products. Much like the Club Memberships, you must be a product of the product in order to effectively market to others. See www.shakeology.com for more information.
c Design Your Nutrition Plan Using the Meal Planner
It is important that you understand basic nutrition. The Meal Planner included in your Club Membership will help you to do this. Again, being a product of the product is the easiest way to market to others. When you can explain how the Meal Planner works, you can better market the Club.
This will also help you with your own personal fitness. Your current state of physical fitness is not that important. It is important that you commit to a healthy lifestyle and work towards your own fitness goals. When you do, your own story will become the greatest marketing tool you will have.
c Read “Start Up Your Success” and “Build On Your Success” from the Coach Business Kit
Your Coach Kit is on the way. Once it arrives, you should take the time to review it completely. We have included some of the highlights in this document, but there are many valuable pieces of information contained in the Kit. You will want to be familiar with that document so you can walk your new Coaches through it.
Start Coaching!
Once you have your business infrastructure in place, you have the basic set of tools you need to be a Coach. You will have all the information you need to confidently talk with people about the business and products and you will have all the resources you need to help you market your new business.
How you decide to Coach is really up to you. We have some ideas and business models that have been proven effective. We will share all of those with you, but you may want to consider simply reaching out to the people in your life who have expressed an interest in becoming healthier. These may be people that have noticed your personal success and asked how you’ve done it. We firmly believe that most people want to live a healthier lifestyle, and we know that Beachbody has all the tools they need. If these people are important to you, then you should want them to be healthy as well. Share what you are doing with them first.
Thanks again for choosing to partner with us. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and to help you grow your business into a strong organization that can be a positive force for change in the world.
