DAY 15: ARE YOU OPEN FOR BUSINESS??
DAY 15: ARE YOU REALLY OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND DO YOU HAVE NEW SHOPPERS DAILY?
So everything you're learning is GREAT, but none of it matters if you aren't putting it into ACTION! The only way to truly grow your business is for YOU to open your shop and get new shoppers and recurrent shoppers in there!
As you have probably already experienced, it gets easier to talk with people as your confidence grows. If you haven’t already, it is time to start thinking of ways to expand your network and continue to meet new people. Here are some ideas for you to start with:
1. Facebook groups: you can look up groups on literally any of your interests and make friends with the people in them. It is easy to connect with people who have similar interests so don't be shy.
.
2. Talk to the people around you… practice the 'three foot rule'. If someone is close by start a conversation -- even if they are a stranger. We are surrounded by people all day and most people are remarkably talkative, so say hi! See what’s going on with them, make some small talk and request THEM on Facebook. (This is where your Facebook posts come into play and the reason that you post consistently about your healthy lifestyle, workouts and team.)
.
3. Local Clubs, Masterminding Groups, Group fitness classes, and Charity Organizations. Again, go out and meet and talk to people. This is the name of the game, talking to lots of people, all the time.
.
ADDITIONALLY, it's really important that you KNOW what you have in your shop. Although we often focus on Challenge Packs, there is a lot of 'volume' left on the table that you could be getting by featuring products in your challenge groups and with your coaches and potential clients.
.
Ask yourself, 'Is your beachbody store really open'? Think about your business goals for the month. A great way to add to your income and build your brand is to share your store or featured items you love with all your customers and friends. Pick a different product each week and highlight it on your posts and in your groups. Are you using the fixate cookbook? Have you tried Recovery or Energize? Can you personally speak to the efficacy of the 3 day refresh or have favorite recipes with EVERY flavor of shakeology? Have you dabbled with new workouts on BOD or upgraded/extra DVDs from the deluxe programs.
.
If there is an item that complements one of your Challenge Groups, be sure to mention it in there. Most all the challenges have deluxe versions with extra DVDs you can get. The more you highlight these products, the more your customers and friends will gain exposure to the variety of health and fitness programs you have to offer, and more potential you have for your challengers to want to upgrade to a coach since they are becoming lifers and buying EVERYTHING from the TBB store. You want to be sure to give people the complete menu, not just the ‘early-bird’ special! They will begin to see your Beachbody business as a real business and not just a hobby.

DAILY ACTION ITEMS:
.
1. post below HOW you'll start expanding your reach? (will you go to events/which ones, will you use FB groups/which ones, are you starting a FB business page and using ads?, are you implementing the 3 foot rule?, are you doing 10 minutes of networking and adding to your network daily? etc)
.
2. which product are you going to feature from your beachbody shop this week (would be good to feature something you have or have done or have access to now), and what are you putting on order to try out new and feature next week? This should be featured EVERYWHERE - with your coaches, your challenge groups and on your social posts. Create a photo with your featured product and craft a social media post for your page and post it below to help generate ideas within the group and for any feedback if you'd like it.
.
3. Watch
4. Do your nightly accountability on the nightly thread
.
5. Use this 'lighter' day to get caught up on any assignments you are behind on.
