DAY 5: Inviting Friends and Family
Quote of the Day: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” –Anais Nin
***************************************
To find people to help in your upcoming Challenge Group, start with the people closest to you. Initially, they are going to be the most willing to trust you and try what you have to offer. It is important to not prejudge anyone—meaning don’t think you understand their circumstances so well that you decide for them if they’d be interested in being in your Group—give them the chance to make that decision for themselves.
You created your initial Contact List of friends and family before you started this training. Revisit it again and see if you can add any names to the list you may have prejudged (use the Memory Jogger).
With your list ready, now for the fun part—time to invite! You’ve shared your story on social media and connected with a few people by sharing your Why with them, so your friends and family are aware that you are a new Team Beachbody Coach.
Now, let’s invite them to join you in your first Challenge Group!
Don’t overcomplicate this step, keep it simple and be yourself! Let your friends and family know that you are looking for some great Success Stories to help launch your coaching business and that you really want to help them. Share your story with them and then ASK THEM TO JOIN YOU in your Challenge Group.
Example: [after you share your story in a separate post] “You can see I’m really excited about coaching and I can’t wait to start helping people. My first focus is to help those closest to me, and I’ve got a spot set aside for you. I’d love for you to join my Challenge Group, and your positive experience in the Group would be a great help to me as I get my coaching business started. Can I send you some information about the Group?”
There are many mediums you can use to invite them to your Group, but remember the most impactful way is face-to-face. Of course, this isn’t always timely, so the next best thing is the phone, then social media.
