Start Your Own Home Based Fitness Business With My "One on One" Mentoring

"I'll Help You Get Into the Absolute Best Shape Of Your Life, and Show You How To Grow a Fitness Business At the Same Time"

 

From: Dennis Hardy & Mike French

Dear Fitness Enthusiast,

Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Dennis Hardy and I'm an Independent Fitness Coach for Team Beachbody, one of the hottest growing fitness companies on the planet.  I've teamed up with fellow coach, Mike French , to tell you about an opportunity to not only change your level of fitness, but also your financial future at the same time.

You've probably seen Beachbody's fitness program infomercials running night and day on TV; including P90X, P90X+, Hip Hop Abs, 10 Minute Trainer, Slim In 6, and many more titles. 

 

 

One particular Beachbody fitness program came into my life a little over a year ago and dramatically changed it forever.  I'd like to tell you a quick story about my experience with this program, and how I turned my new found love of fitness into a growing business. 

The Infomercial That Changed My Life...

In March 2007, I had just turned on the TV early one Saturday morning in search of a Scooby Doo cartoon for my daughter.  As I was flipping through the channels, I came across Beachbody's P90X infomercial.  For those of you not familiar with P90X, it is Beachbody's 12 DVD 'Extreme Home Workout' program featuring celebrity trainer, Tony Horton.   Here's a quick clip of P90X in action...

I was immediately mesmerized with the infomercial.  It was the first fitness infomercial I had EVER seen that had no gimmick.  There were no silly ab machines....electronic wires you attach to your stomach....no B.S., period.  It was an intense and heavy duty workout that required extreme dedication for 90 days.  At 37 years of age, I knew my health and fitness were in dire need of a major overhaul.  Something in the infomercial just spoke to me...I can't explain it.  I told my wife, "This Tony Horton guy is the real deal.  Let's do this!".

In 90 days, I transformed my body in ways I couldn't believe.  Below are photos of me before P90X, and after I graduated the workout program:

 

After only a few weeks into the P90X workout program, I was HOOKED!  At that time, I made the decision to enroll into Beachbody's Independent Coaching program.  This program is really just as exciting as the P90X workouts!  I get paid to lead a healthy & fit lifestyle while helping and encouraging others to do the same.   I have NEVER been involved with a company that I truly believe in more than Beachbody  That's the honest truth folks.   P90X has become much more to me than a workout routine, but rather a new way of life.   The coaching opportunity has given me the chance to secure my family's financial future.  

Before I go any further, I have to tell you about a guy named Mike French.  Mike was responsible for helping me achieve my P90X results.  I met Mike on the Beachbody messageboards in May of 2007.  Mike coached me through my 90 days and was the one who introduced the coaching program to me.  Mike's own personal results with P90X are what inspired me and made me believe that I too could get 'ripped in 90 days'.   Below are Mike's P90X transformation photos.  He even won $10,000 from Beachbody in a monthly transformation contest!  We've teamed up together to tell you about this incredible opportunity!

 

Beachbody's Coaching Program: The Opportunity Of A Lifetime

I hate clichés like "opportunity of a lifetime" or "ground floor opportunity", but that's exactly what this opportunity is.  Independent Beachbody Coaches are paid commissions for sales of Beachbody workouts, supplements, equipment, and   "Club Memberships".  In addition, Beachbody is a network marketing / multi level marketing company.   That means that as a  coach, you also earn commissions from the team of coaches under you ( your "down line" coaches) through Beachbody's very generous points volume, or "PV", system.

Beachbody's Customer Lead Program

Here's what separates Beachbody from every other multi level marketing / network marketing company (besides the fact that their workouts and supplements are world class and dominate the marketplace!) ...Beachbody will help you grow your coaching business by GIVING you customers! YES, you read that correctly!  Beachbody spends over 70 million dollars a year running their infomercials on TV and bring in approximately 15,000-30,000 paying customers each week.  Whenever a customer purchases a workout program through phone or the internet, Beachbody automatically assigns them a coach (at "Emerald" level or higher- I'll tell you more about coaching ranks in a bit).  When the customer makes a future purchase with Beachbody, the coach earns 25% of the order.  If the customer signs up for the Team Beachbody Club quarterly membership (which is an incredible value at $39 every 3 months), the coach earns 50%. 

You should be starting to get a little excited at this point, but I haven't even told you the best part!  When a customer makes a purchase, Beachbody will make a few additional offers (believe me, Beachbody is the king of the "up sell'!).  Beachbody will first offer them a free month in the Team Beachbody Club.  The customer can cancel their membership at anytime in the first 30 days.  If they don't cancel, they are re-billed the $38.86 quarterly fee.  Each time the customer is re-billed, the coach gets paid half of the fee.  These recurring commissions continue for as long as the customer remains a member of the Team Beachbody Club!

After the customer is offered the free month in 'the Club', they are offered various monthly supplements.  Beachbody has a 'home direct' program and auto-ships supplements such as vitamins, whey protein powder, post workout muscle recovery formula, meal replacements, protein bars, and many more.  They will offer the customer a free months supply of a product, the vitamins for example.  If the customer doesn't cancel the home direct order in the first 30 days, Beachbody will ship out the supplements each month to the customer.  On each re-order, the coach earns 25% of the order. 

 The Beachbody Coach Ranks & Qualifying For Beachbody's Customer Lead Program

I won't go into too much detail here as I don't want to confuse anyone. There are basically 8 different Beachbody coach ranks- each with it's own level of compensation.  The ranks are (from lowest to highest):

Coach, Emerald Coach, Ruby Coach, Diamond Coach, Two Star Diamond Coach, Five Star Diamond Coach, Ten Star Diamond Coach, and Super Star Diamond Coach.  Each level offers higher payouts and additional ways to generate commissions.   

The Emerald (2nd level) is where the fun REALLY starts.  At this point, you will have sponsored two qualifying coaches and will be ready to take advantage of Beachbody's Customer Lead Program (Emerald and higher coaches are eligible).  As I talked about previously, this is an incredible and revolutionary program where Beachbody will actually supply you with clients.  Currently, Emerald and higher coaches are each averaging approximately 75-100 new clients a month  through the Customer Lead Program.  Keep in mind that this is just the current average and is subject to change. 

So what does it mean to qualify?  It's easy.  First, in order to get the free leads, you must be a member of the Team Beachbody Club.  Second, you and your two coach's must be 'active'.  That means all of you have generated 50 points volume (PV's) each for the month.  Most people can do this with their eyes closed!  For example, if a coach purchases their own supplements, this normally gives them the points they need for the month (basically, 50 PV is equal to $50 in sales).  Finally, you must use Beachbody's online gym (Called WOWY- short for "Work Out With You") 8 times in the previous 30 days.  This is a free service that I have found very useful and will show the community that you are a coach and committed to your own fitness as well as helping others.

"The Money Is In The List"

I started marketing products on the internet back in 2002.  One thing I learned very quickly was just how important it was to develop an 'opt in' email list.  Having a list of targeted potential customers is the lifeblood of any internet business.  All of the internet marketing gurus will tell you the same thing...'The Money Is In The List!'.

Not only does Beachbody find customers/clients for coaches (Emerald level and higher coaches), but they will also build your list for you with their state of the art 'coach back office' software.  You are able to send e-cards, make announcements, offer help, etc...to your clients.  Do you know of any other network marketing/multi level marketing company that does this? 

Not only do they help you build your own list, but Beachbody continually markets to your list of customers for you! Each week, Beachbody will send out emails to your customers telling them about fitness tips, special offers, new workout programs, success stories, etc.  When your customers log into the Team Beachbody store and make a purchase, you earn commissions!

So, now you have customers....that were given to you....and sales, from marketing efforts that were performed for you?  A match made in heaven! ;-) 

"So How Much Money Do Coaches Make?"

I get asked this question at least a dozen times each week.  For legal reasons, I'm a little apprehensive about telling people this information.  Beachbody though, has created their:

Statement Of Coach Earnings 

 

This statement runs from March 07 to March 08.  These are VERY impressive figures when you consider the coaching opportunity is just a little over a year old.  Earnings ranged from 0 to $305,000.  I'll be excited to see next years numbers! ;-).  One thing to point out, the figures above DO NOT even include retail profits earned on offline resale of products to consumers.

Anytime I state earnings, I'm required to make this disclaimer, so here goes...

Beachbody does not guarantee any level of success or income from the Beachbody Coach Opportunity. Each Coach's income depends on his or her own efforts, diligence, and skill. See our Statement of Independent Coach Earnings at www.teambeachbody.com/incomechart.pdf for the most recent information on the actual incomes for all our Coaches.

Let me show you the photos of some of my clients.  Each of these people has joined me as Independent Beachbody Coaches, after only a few days or weeks of starting their fitness program!.  I've trained them through their first round of P90X (or other Beachbody program), and continue to help them improve their fitness level and grow their fitness businesses...day in and day out. 

 

 These Over-Achievers Said 'YES!' To The Coaching Opportunity

Mark C.

I've known this guy for over 20 years, one of my best friends.  Mark became a coach under me about 8 months ago.  When he started, he looked like that photo on the left.  What you see is the power of P90X, huge changes! 

Mike S.

This photo is of a friend named Mike...another I've known for almost 20 years, a guy I went to college with, and who was also in my wedding.  Mike also signed up to be a coach when he started P90X.  Mike has always been in pretty good shape.  He'll be the first to tell you though, that his fitness level now is borderline "freakish". 

Gerry M.

Gerry is another long time 20 plus year friend.  I remember the day I showed my 90 day photos to Gerry (July of 07).  Gerry called me on the phone a few minutes later and said, "I'm in".  Results tell the story.  They don't lie.  When you become a walking billboard of health and fitness, other people want to know what you did, how you did it, etc.  TELL THEM!  And, make some money in the process.  ;-)

Chris M.

Chris recently won my Summer Transformation Challenge that I sponsored.  Just think, earlier this year, Chris was that guy on the left.  90 days later, you see him on the right.  This guy is one hard worker.  If you've seen the new P90X infomercial on TV, you'll see Chris's photos at the beginning of the segment.  I'm super proud of Chris!  He accepted the challenge of becoming a coach at the start of the contest. 

Jeff M.

Like Chris, Jeff is a guy who found me online a few months ago.  He entered into the Summer Transformation Challenge and took second place.  Jeff is another hard worker that is dedicated to leading a fit and healthy lifestyle.  Jeff skates in a 'over 40' hockey league, but you'd never guess his age by looking at the condition he's now in.  Another P90X success story.

John E.

Is this guy ripped or what?  John signed up from day 1 to be a coach.  No questions...no hesitation...he just BROUGHT IT!  By the way, that's the slogan for P90X, "Bring It!"

Jim F.

Jim, another one of "my boys"!  When you accept the invitation to become an Independent Team Beachbody Coach, you're joining a family.  A family of people who are dedicated to supporting each other...as a group.  This program is about so much more than just money.  Making money is nice, but the fitness and the relationships....PRICELESS!

Derek B.

This is Derek, my right hand man.  Derek is a firefighter in Dallas, TX.  He was featured in the new P90X infomercial doing his workout at the fire station and talking about the importance of fitness for firefighters.  When my daughter saw him on TV and knew we were friends, she said, "WOW, He's a STAR!"

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What are the responsibilities of a coach? 

An Independent Team Beachbody coach's mission is to support the clients and customers of Beachbody.   To a certain extent, we are 'cheerleaders'.  We try to encourage and motivate our clients and customers to live a healthy and fit lifestyle.   We are there to answer questions and offer help regarding products, workout programs, benefits, and features.

Don't worry if you aren't sure of the answers!  Believe me...I get some questions I don't even know the answers to!  Don't be afraid to tell your customer that you are unsure and will have to check and find out for them.  You can follow up with me and I'll personally get you the answer you need...even if I have to ask someone else myself ;-)

When you become a Beachbody Coach, you'll discover how meaningful—and prosperous—life can be by helping others become fit and healthy.

 

Do I have to sell anything? 

Try not to think of this program as always trying to sell people.  It's not like you're toting around Electrolux vacuums or anything.  YOU WILL soon become a walking billboard of fitness.  You will absolutely not believe the number of friends, family, coworkers, etc. that will say, "You look GREAT!  What have you been doing?".  Then, guess what?  You simply tell them the truth!  There is no hard selling.  Do you have any idea how easy it is to 'passively' sell something when it's obvious that you are passionate about it? 

Even if you didn't join the coaching program, these people are STILL going to be asking these questions!  Why not get paid for referring Beachbody workouts, supplements, and equipment?  After you get them into a workout and on the road to health and fitness, they become a prime candidate to become a coach.  That's when you begin talking to them about the business side of Team Beachbody. 

I tell my coaches all the time, "You can make EVERY conversation a Beachbody conversation". 

I was actually pulled several months back for speeding (I have a little bit of a lead foot at times).  The officer asked why my hands were shaking- I don't know if he thought I was on drugs or something.  I told him I had just finished one super intense P90X workout in my garage and my body was still trembling.  "I've seen those infomercials", he told me.  Ding-ding...winner, winner, chicken dinner!  I invited the officer to my home the next day for a workout.  He was absolutely sold by the end of that workout and is now a P90X freak!  He is also now a good friend and I was able to get out of that ticket! ;-)

 

What experience do I need?

None.  You don't need to be a fitness guru, dietician, or personal trainer.  No one will ever come to your home with a body fat tester or count the number of pull-ups you can do.  You simply have to want to live a healthy & fit lifestyle, and then encourage and motivate others to do the same. 

 

How much of a time commitment is the coaching?

You can grow your coaching business as fast or as slow- as big or as small as you want to.  You can make this a small referral business where you simply tell friends and family...it's totally up to you.

One of my goals though will be to help get you out of your 'comfort zone'...to get you excited  about fitness and wanting to scream it to the whole world!  That happens when you see the crazy results that can be achieved with a little 'sweat equity' in one of the Beachbody workout programs (yes, as if you can't already tell...P90X is my baby!). 

No matter your goals, your Beachbody business really doesn't take up much time.  I have coaches with 4-5 plus kids, family life, hectic work schedules, etc.  They all manage to work the coaching into their lives. 

What does it cost?

Very little!  Your costs are an up front $39.95 and then $14.95 a month to cover your coach back office, web hosting fees, website, customer list, videos, tools, and more.  You'll be shipped a professional looking nylon briefcase/carry bag loaded up with training and marketing materials.  If at any time you decide the coaching program isn't for you,  send your coach training kit back for a full refund.  Guess what?  Beachbody doesn't get many of these refund requests!

 

I've heard that network marketing/ multilevel marketing/ (MLM) is a pyramid?  Is Beachbody's Coaching Business Opportunity a scam or illegal pyramid?

NO!  Beachbody workouts, supplements, and equipment are REAL products with MASSIVE demand.  In fact, Beachbody could barely keep up with demand for P90X earlier this year ( I wonder if in part it could be because of my Youtube videos that have over 200,000 views in the past year?!  ;-) ).

Let me explain to you about illegal multi level marketing / mlm pyramids.  These pyramid schemes are based around products that have little to no value.  Distributors are required to purchase large amounts of these "widgets" up front.  The problem is...no one wants them!   If the whole world's population participated in these schemes, at one point, everyone would be a distributor (with huge inventory!) and the earth would run out of people to sell these widgets to!  Also, the money that new distributors pay for the inventory requirement goes right into the pockets of people further up the pyramid.  The man or woman at the bottom of the pyramid has nearly no chance of success. 

Beachbody doesn't require you to purchase any inventory of products.  In fact, even the coach marketing kit is refundable.  Beachbody simply wants you to live a fit and healthy lifestyle, and then share your success with others.  These are REAL products that get REAL results.  I'm living proof! 

 

How much can I earn as a coach?

As discussed earlier, numbers will vary.  Below is Beachbodys statement of coach earnings:

Statement Of Coach Earnings 

This statement runs from March 07 to March 08.  These are VERY impressive figures when you consider the coaching opportunity is just a little over a year old.  Earnings ranged from 0 to $305,000. 

Your own results will depend on many factors and I can't make any promises, except for these....

1) I will work with you to get into the most incredible shape of your life!  My goal is to turn you into a walking billboard of health and fitness.  When you take your shirt off at the beach (or for you ladies- wear your bikinis)...I want your abs popping and mouths dropping!  But hey, maybe you just want to lose a few pounds and aren't interested in looking all ripped, muscled, and stuff.  That's ok too!  Whatever your goals, we'll reach them together.

2) I will train you on all the same methods I've used to grow my own coaching business.  It's no secret---the more successful I can make you, the more successful I become.  If you can't tell by now, I'm a results oriented person. ;-)

3) I will train you on an ongoing basis and help hold you accountable to both your fitness and business goals.  This is going to be a big commitment on both of our parts.  I'm ready, are you? ;-)

 

Shouldn't I wait until I've finished a workout program before becoming a coach?

No!  I encourage everyone to get involved right now---today!  Look, you don't have to be a fitness god with 8 pack abs to do this business.  You are simply offering support for workout programs that already have detailed workout and nutrition systems in place. 

What you have to understand...people need support when starting any workout program.  Without that support system in place, many (most!) will quit the program in a few days/weeks/ months.  You are simply that little voice that says, "How are your workouts coming?", "Do you have any questions", "You can do this!", "We're all in this together!".  Anytime you get a question you can't answer, that's what I'm here for....that's what Beachbody support is for.  Remember, the vast majority of Beachbody coaches are not nutritionists or certified personal trainers.   They are regular people with families, full time jobs, etc.

Here's a quick story...a few months ago, I had a woman email me about the coaching opportunity.  She was fired up and ready to go.  She had a massive amount of fitness experience, gave public speeches on fitness, was a consultant with fortune 500 companies in regards to fitness, had helped some fitness franchises grow their membership base to insane amounts of members, etc.  Just talking to this woman would get you excited about fitness.

Well, my excitement over having her as a new down line coach faded when I found out that at the time, the coaching opportunity wasn't available in Canada yet.  I could have cried!

At about the same time, I had a guy who was on the fence about becoming a coach.  He said he was short on time, long work hours, etc.  Basically, he was making a lot of excuses. ;-).  Finally, he did come on board as a coach a few weeks later.

BUT, what if....

I had signed up the incredibly talented lady from Canada while this other guy was still 'on the fence' about the coaching opportunity?  His delay in signing could have been the difference in having her in his up line versus down line.  I can't begin to tell you what happens when a superstar like this woman comes on board.  With Beachbody's Points Volume system (PV), things can get real crazy real quick! 

So here's the moral of the story...if you even think that this opportunity is for you, go ahead and pull the trigger right now.  Don't miss out on possibly having some incredibly talented people in your down line.  Remember, when I sponsor new coaches, they can become your down line coaches too. 

 

Who should I talk to about Beachbody?

In your first 30 days, I recommend you send introductory emails and phone calls to everyone you know! Studies show that if you are at least 25 years old, then you know at LEAST 1,000 people. Prospects can include:

The best way to start a conversation is TO LISTEN. Find out what interests people. Ask about their family, life, jobs. The crucial point is not what you talk about, it's that you start talking. Make the first move! Once you do that, you will see how easy it is to turn EVERY conversation into a Beachbody conversation. Listen to people's health issues - the diets they are on- their desire to lose weight and fit into smaller clothes- to start exercising. These are all points of entry for you to start talking about what Beachbody did for you- and what it can do for them.

After you're done talking with everyone you know, I'll start showing you how to start talking with people you don't know!  The internet is a powerful marketing tool - and I'll show you how to get all the free advertising you can handle!

How often are commissions paid?

Every Monday, like clockwork.  No minimum payment thresholds.  Set up your bank draft and you don't even have to wait for the check to arrive!

 

Are there any rules to follow for coaches?

Yes.  You will find all of the coach rules and restrictions here.

 

 

This program truly is the opportunity of a lifetime.  Don't procrastinate - Don't say you'll think about it.  Make the decision right now.  Dedicate yourself to leading a healthy and fit lifestyle.  Then, share your success with others.  That's what I've been doing for the past year.  That's what I'll be doing until the day I die. 

This is what the Beachbody® business is all about. When you become a Beachbody Coach, you'll discover how meaningful—and prosperous—life can be by helping others become fit and healthy.
