How to Tell Your Story 101 New Coach

1. Coaching revolves around relationships. One of the key elements in building relationships is story telling – which is a foundation to your business.

Inside coaching you are going to get the chance to tell and listen to many stories, over and over.

• The voice in your head that tells stories now has the ability to be heard. The ability to be heard by more then just you.  The stories of success, struggle, I can do that, how you did not give up and finally how you overcame MUST no longer be silenced, They need to heard in order to help others.
• You have many stories about Beachbody that are unique to you but relateable to others. Your own feelings, experiences, struggles you have overcome or are still getting through.
• The stories of your potential customers, customers, challenge group members, coaches, team members and the ones you will share, about being helped and helping others.to change their lives.

There is only one you. Treat yourself that way and your story that way- do not compare your story to anyone else’s no one’s is better- just different!  Share your scars, that’s what connects us! Share your story and you will attract your idea customer the people you want to help, the people you want to work with the people you want to call teammates.

Today we’re going to learn to tell a story and then dig deep and reflect on what makes you, YOU.

One of the biggest mistakes I hear from new coaches or possible new coaches is “ I don’t have a story, I am not there yet, I need to be more fit”  Where you are at is one of the most relatable stories you can tell. You don’t have to be in perfect shape to be proof the products work. Sharing your JOURNEY improves your credibility and gets people excited because they’ll be witnessing and being a part of your transformation/evolution.

3. COACHES SHARE – WE DON’T SELL

The key to being an incredible coach is sharing with other people, not SELLING. We share stories, emotions, scars, success, products we are passionate about and solutions. WE DO NOT SELL. One of my favorite quotes is people don’t care what we know- they want to know we care.

Lindsay Matway is a great example of how we are different as Beachbody coaches. We are NOT salespeople! Click HERE to watch this short video.
