Coach Opportunity
Welcome to our Coach Opportunity Open House! I'm so glad to have you here and please remember to ask any questions you have (post them below in the contact form) so we can make sure to address them this week!
​
The main purpose of doing the event this way, as opposed to a webinar or 2 hour “party-style” FB event is twofold:
​
1. You’re busy. Using this website will give you a chance to check in when it’s convenient for YOU, and not worry that you’re missing out or trying to find a good connection for a webinar.
​
2. I’ve found that giving information in this format really gives everyone a chance to review it and consider all the options and questions so when it’s time to make that choice to sign up or let me know it’s not the right fit, you can do it with conviction.
​
What can you expect from me through this event? LOTS of posts with various content, videos, graphics and stories to help you get a feel for what we do and how we turn working out, eating well and sharing on social media into a legitimate and successful business. Each post will be labeled so you can go back to the ones you missed and review the information.
​
Thanks again for joining us!
INTRODUCTIONS: I’m Coach Shannon. I joined Team Knockouts in June of 2014 for purely selfish reasons: I wanted to lose weight and wanted a discount on my Shakeology. Coaching fees are waived for active duty military spouses, so I was literally out nothing but the cost of my own products.
​
I was at my wits end. My “baby” was 2 years old and I was still overweight, felt horrible, dealt with back and knee pain that made it difficult to workout, and was highly unmotivated to do much of anything. I was depressed and let it go on way too long. Until I finally decided enough was enough and I signed up as a coach with the PiYo program and Shakeology.
​
It was about 2 minutes into my journey that I realized I could use my struggle and story to help others. If I could find the strength to change, I definitely wanted to help others find their own strength. That was TWO YEARS AGO, and I’ve loved it all. Even when the days are difficult or I fall off my plan a bit, I know I can get up the next day and start over and must, because my clients deserve a coach who works just as hard for her goals as she does for theirs.
​
I’ve grown a small team of coaches that I’m immensely proud of, and will continue to help other COACHES build their businesses just as I help my CLIENTS lose their pounds and inches. We’re the Knockouts—we always have each other’s back and we never give up ;).
On our team there are 3 types of coaches, each with their own value and each with their own set of goals.
​
Here’s a short video to help you see the difference!
​
​
If you had to guess right now, what type of Coach do you think YOU would be?
Beachbody Coaches come from all over the US and Canada and have vastly different personalities from one another, but all successful coaches follow three simple rules, which we call the “3 Vital Behaviors”:
​
1. Be a product of the product
2. Personal development
3. Invite, Invite, Invite
​
The first means we need to actually use the products we sell and believe in the power of them. We drink Shakeology daily, we do our Beachbody workouts, making sure to start and finish programs and get great results using those programs, and we challenge ourselves to be better, do better, do more.
​
We read business books, listen to podcasts, view webinars, in order to develop us into stronger leaders and business owners. We see our weaknesses and do our best to find a solution, and see our strengths and cultivate them, using personal development tools, even if it’s just 10 minutes a day.
​
We share our goals, results and opportunities with others. We invite to our Challenge Groups, we share our transformation results, our favorite recipes, the Coaching Opportunity… we’re always inviting others to find a way to reach their goals, not in a sales-driven way but in a way that builds relationships and forms connections with our clients and coaches on our team.
​
These Vital Behaviors make a huge difference in the kind of integrity we have as Coaches and the kind of businesses we can sustain. Two of the three are about making ourselves the best we can be and the other is about sharing it—pretty easy, right?
A lot of people wonder about shakeology.
​
To be honest, when I first ordered it, I was a skeptic too. I didn't understand how Shakeology was different from the protein shakes I drank before, BUT After drinking it faithfully (literally every day) for TWO YEARS, I can honestly say that I feel better than ever, my energy levels are higher, my immune system healthier, and it keeps me full for hours. I no longer take a multi-vitamin, feel that afternoon crash or crave sugar nearly as much. I haven't been sick in a very long time bc it naturally boosts my immune system.
​
Plus. It tastes SO good. My kids are constantly sneaking drinks when they see me with it. I can't imagine NOT drinking it every day.... I feel better than ever. It's worth every penny!
​
Why I think Shakeology is a great deal:
✔ Shakeology kills my junk food cravings. Because it’s so nutritionally dense, Shakeology gives my body what it needs in a form that can be easily absorbed. Plus, it tastes so good that it feels like I’m having a treat. It’s the best of both worlds!
✔ Shakeology is so convenient. you can just add it or water or milk to it and it mixes easily. Or you can add additional add ins like fruit, ice, nut butters, flavors ...etc to make it even more amazing.
✔Shakeology prevents me from impulse eating or making a choice that would throw me off my meal plan. For busy days, Shakeology is perfect to grab on the go. It's quick, easy and gives me all the fruit and veggie servings I need.
✔Shakeology is packed with superfoods. Sure you can make your own smoothies, but the cost to buy all the ingredients and produce to put in a smoothie actually costs more than I what I spend on Shakeology. It's all organic ingredients. I’m actually saving money by purchasing Shakeology!

FAQ: "I'm not a great salesman; will I SUCK as a coach?"
​
https://youtu.be/ys6Phvnk04M is a great video from our teammate about how to do this job even if (or especially if) you aren't a great "salesman". You'll have the best luck when you stop focus on selling and start focusing on sharing. Be a product of the product, and show your followers that you were just like them once and made the decision to do something different. When you connect on that level, it never feels like "selling". Our magic happens AFTER the sale, when they need us the most!
FAQ: "I have a fulltime job; what if I don't have time for this?"
​
https://youtu.be/B2q3xSA1TmM is a video our teammate Kelly made about her journey going from working fulltime to quitting her job and coaching fulltime, and her process. This job DOES require time, of course, so it can seem challenging to work all day and have to find time to workout AND post and message and plug into the team... but when you want it, you find time for it. You make it a priority. And in our New Coach Training we give you some steps to make it happen when you don't have a lot of time to devote (we call it a Power Hour).
FAQ: "I don't have the money to invest in any products or startup kits; what's my bottom line?"
​
https://youtu.be/CeaXsYz3J-s is a breakdown from Coach Audrey about becoming a coach and what the costs associated look like. It's very basic, so PLEASE let us know if you need some clarification or have related questions!
​
BASICS:
1. Business Startup Cost: $39.95 (this is waived if you purchase a full workout/Shakeology pack with your signup)
2. No inventory to carry
3. Monthly business fees of $15.95 (this is waived for active duty military/spouses and veterans)
FAQ: "What can I expect to earn right away?"
​
Of COURSE this is one of those "it depends" answers... but one of our first goals with new coaches is to help them pay for their own monthly Shakeology, and to run their first challenge group, meaning getting three people set up with their initial packs.
​
Personally, in my first 3 months as a coach, I made about $700 total, which paid for my own products with enough to spare to pay a few bills. I also earned Success Club (a Beachbody coach reward program for helping 3-5 people a month get started with Challenge Packs) each of those months, which earned me a FREE TICKET TO COACH SUMMIT in July. Some coaches earn more, some earn less—it’s really dependent on your goals, how many hours you’re willing to put in and your warm market going into the job.
FAQ: "Do I only make money from commissions?"
​
You earn a 25% commission on all sales. But as you grow your team, you also earn bonuses for your team's volume (their sales). So you can make money all on your own and never have any coaches underneath you... but by flipping the switch and becoming not just a coach but a mentor, you really have all the earning potential in the world! You also earn "prizes" by earning Success Club each month, which is a reward for helping those 3 to 5 people we talked about get started with Shakeology and a program. It's been anything from tshirts and hats to board games and workout programs.
FAQ: "What is the ranking situation all about?"
​
This graphic shows our early rank advancements. We aren't solely focused on adding coaches blindly to our team. In order for us to rank advance, we also must have coaches on our team who are also team building, which means we work as a team to grow together, helping each other. Does that make sense? We don't "sign and ditch" but really focus on mentorship and learning. There's no pyramid scheme here! You can do better than your upline, and your downline coaches can earn more than you, or grow a bigger team than you. It's all about your own effort--your wins are your own and your failures are your own! It's YOUR business, which is what's so amazing! The second you sign up, YOU OWN A BUSINESS! :)
Our business is about changing lives, one at a time. We start with our own, and move on to family and friends, strangers, teammates, anyone who needs us, and suddenly we start to surround ourselves with those who are like us—always rising above and striving to be awesome.
​
Here are just a few of our team’s transformations—ones we gladly share with each other when someone asks about a specific program.
​
There isn’t a “best program” or one that creates the best transformation. The BEST program is the one you’ll FINISH, right? Everyone has different goals and a different body type—but there’s a program perfect for all of them!
​
We don’ t just exist as a team online. We gather as many times a year as we can to show each other support, learn from each other and just have FUN!
Once a year is a huge Coach Summit (held in Nashville in 2016!), where thousands of coaches gather for large and small group trainings, workouts with celebrity trainers, exercise certifications and celebration parties. It’s an amazing experience!
​
Quarterly we also gather for smaller local “Super Saturday” events with the coaches in our local area. This can range from you and one other coach in your town to hundreds of coaches, depending on your area. These events serve as a way to receive the latest product information and news from corporate and team bonding, and of course there’s always a group workout with a Live Instructor or a favorite Beachbody DVD workout.
​
Our team also holds Leadership conferences, random get-togethers and lots of online chats and video calls throughout the month and year. For me, the friends I've made and the relationships I've built with this job has been SO AMAZING! Working from home can feel a bit isolating in some professions--but NOT ON THIS TEAM! <3
What happens when you sign up as a coach on Team Knockouts?
​
Typically we know when someone's about to sign up as a coach, because we've previously formed a relationship and have talked about it. Every once in a while there's a surprise, but we appreciate getting a heads up so we can prepare! For me, as soon as I see that signup go through, I'm working behind the scenes, creating a welcome post, making sure to message you congrats, getting your welcome email ready and mentally preparing for our first conversation! I add coaches to our team pages, introduce them to the group and draft my welcome email detailing what happens over the next 30 to 60 days.
​
Then we schedule a Get Started Right call or chat. I prefer a video chat, because it's fun to SEE you, but I've done in-person meetings, phone calls or even FB chats. Whatever works for you! We talk about your first steps, and when our next training group starts, and make sure to define what type of coach you want to be and what your goals are for the next 2 months.
​​
Once our team New Coach Training starts, we all work together to get your name out there, get you comfortable running a group and really start working toward meeting those goals you set. You're on fire and ready to learn, so we want to capitalize on that and really get started!
​
Once training is complete we run a group challenge group together, so you don't have to do it by yourself that first go. You're never "alone" even though it's definitely YOUR business and YOUR success. The team is there to answer questions, co-host groups with you, give you tips and cheer you on as you learn and grow.
​
As your sponsor, it's my job to check in and be as helpful as possible without taking over and running your business. I'm not your boss, I'm your mentor. If you don't want to take the suggestions I offer, or if you want to go your own route rather than what the team has typically done, that's ok! I will check in with you at least once a week if you're an active working coach, less if you just signed up for the discount, and more if you need more help managing your own coaches early on.
​
I’ll host Coaching Opportunity Groups, sit in on Get Started Right phone calls for you when you sign your first coaches, and give you a bunch of files to help you as a new coach.
Our team really shines because of its close-knit family style. We would LOVE for you to be a part of it and get in on our motivation, love and plain silliness.
​
If you're ready to have that one-on-one chat, please fill out this application at http://tinyurl.com/joinknockoutsrising and send me a message letting me know you're ready for more!
