Founded by Carl Daikeler in March 2007, Beachbody helps
people attain their physical and financial goals. They offer vitamins
and exercise videos to consumers. Individuals are required to become an
independent team beach body coach to get started in the company. This
can be obtained by first watching a series of videos. After signing up
to be a coach, they will sell the fitness DVDs and vitamin supplements
to consumers interested in losing weight. They will also start
recruiting other business minded individuals.
Starting
Getting started is pretty simple. After watching their videos that
explain the program, applicants fill out a brief questionnaire and pay
a start up fee of $39.95 and every month after its $14.95. The fee
includes leads and customers who are already paying for the service.
They promote the business and spend close to $90 million dollars each
year. The fee also covers the coaches career kit, the coaches website
and the back office. Independent coaches are also required to buy a
product for around $50.00. Because the business is in the fitness and
weight loss, the target audience is primarily individuals interested in
losing weight. It can be done from any part of the country.
Compensation
Independent coaches can expect to make a full-time income working part
time. It does require effort; however, it can be accomplished. The
compensation plan offers four different ways to produce income. With
retail profits, you earn 25% on customer purchases. With club
memberships, you earn 50% on every person who becomes a member, and
then an additional 15% on their purchases. With the Showcase Fitness
Pack, you are paid $50 commission for selling a showcase pack and it is
paid out weekly. Finally, with the Showcase Fitness Pack Bonus, not
only do you receive the $50, you earn an additional $5 when anyone on
your direct line of coaches sells a showcase pack. An emerald coach can
expect to make roughly $760 a day.
Thriving
To move up in this business, you have to first have the drive. Because
independent coaches are required to make a purchase, they are also
expected to follow the exercise program. For example, a coach wants to
move up to an emerald status they must first create a profile page that
includes a bio and a before picture. You must log the amount of work
out times, which is 8 workout sessions, and then meet the other
qualifications. Having a direct line increases revenue potential
especially if the direct line sponsors additional coaches.
