I became a Beachbody® Coach in June of 2009. The decision didn't take long for me to make. It came about by a stroke of luck as I run another fitness blog and conducted an interview with a doctor of physical therapy. In the interview, the doctor had a link to his web site which was his own Beachbody business. I emailed him and wanted to learn more about it.
When I found out the company produced the wildly popular P90X®, I became even more excited as I had seen the commercials and have wanted to try it myself. I talked more with the doctor and signed up with the company. Now he is my coach and I couldn't ask for a more supportive and helpful coach.
Learning Network Marketing
Beachbody® is also a network marketing company. This was new territory for me but I had read and heard my fair share about network marketing. I already knew that the term "network marketing" and "MLM" can raise a red flag for many people, however, that is only due to the shady practices of other network marketers as well as the shady companies.
I look at the learning process as a challenge. The biggest benefits I like about the programs and nutritional supplements is that they are not hard sellers. If you use the products and believe in them, it isn't difficult to share them with other people. My first sales came from simply sharing what I liked about the products and how they have helped me.
I plan on sharing my experience in both fitness and business as I grow my Beachbody® business. So far it is fun and I enjoy working on it more than the other stuff I have to do that is "work." I look forward to growing my team and meeting other coaches who are growing their businesses as well.
