TeamTalk

Our Approach and Focus in 2012

As we closed out 2011 and moved into 2012, Kevin and I spent careful time getting back to the basics of what we know to be true. With a collective career that spans more than 40 years in network marketing, we knew it was time to focus on activities that our team can learn and duplicate which build strength, not just numbers. It’s a hard shift because often times what everyone focuses on is numbers. It’s easy to do because they sound impressive. However, building something big doesn’t always mean it’s strong. Building it strong means your income and your growth are reliable and consistent.

What we know for sure is there are two core principles that build strength:

  1. Meet people where they are: If someone tells you their greatest pain point is their weight or fitness, then we offer them the Beachbody fitness solution; If they tell us they want more time, freedom and/or money to enjoy their life, then we invite them to read “The 45”. In either case, as they progress they experience both aspects of our offering, the opportunity to change their body, and own their life…but we always meet them where they are based on their need first.
  2. Teach people to teach: If you wonder why coaches come on board and go inactive, chances are they don’t know what to do.  You may get them through their GSR, you may know their why, and you may even help them sponsor a few people…but you need to take it one step further and go to work teaching them how to teach their people those steps.  Until your PS coaches become great teachers, and you see their PS coaches sponsoring…you’re not done. You are still in phase one with them.

We will cover these two principles in our Team calls and in our next two TeamTalk articles.

Take the Challenge

Be Your Best!UnitedHealth Group's new social fitness app, OptumizeMe, lets you challenge friends and family to get healthy! The app allows users to make their own health challenges or you can choose from a list of popular challenges. This is a great tool to get people to participate in competitions to see who can which walk the most steps in a day, who can eat their daily servings of fruits and veggies, or customize it to help motivate your Beachbody Challenge Group! Not to mention, this app also allows you to add a prize for the winner and share your results with friends through social networking sites.

Snack Attack!

Most of us would assume that when you are dieting and trying to lose weight, one requirement would be to curb your snacking habits. However, a study published in the November 14, 2011, edition of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that increased snacking could positively impact overall diet quality. The research suggested that people who snack between meals often have healthier diets when compared to those who stick to eating only at regular mealtimes. Participant who snacked more frequently typically consumed less sodium and ate more fruit, whole grains and milk.Healthy Snacking They also observed that the more subjects snacked, the more likely they were to eat both healthy snacks and meals. The downfall of 'snackers' is that they weren't eating enough vegetables, and that their diets still had room for improvement. So snacking is good as long as you are choosing healthy snacks partnered with health meals. Sorry, Doritos and taquitos do not constitute healthy habits.

TeamGenesis Builders Group

Last week we focused on setting a foundation for our business and our lives. We introduced a special assignment that helps our Builders get a clear focus on their reason why, their story, their calendar and their contacts. If you haven’t had a chance to do that work yet, click here to view that assignment.

This week we focus on a Business Checklist that helps every builder set themselves up for business and stay focused on activities that actually cause growth.

TeamGenesis Leaders Groups

Last week we talked and started to create a list of the core topics we want to cover as Leaders. We started our first call by discussing how best to handle inactive coaches, and how to reduce the number of inactive coaches we sponsor by implementing an enrollment process that better identifies and engages an active coach.

This week we will discuss what a Leader can do (specific activities) to cause growth in their team.
