In this lesson, we will show you what happens to your income when you build a team focused on duplicating success for your 500+ PV Coaches. We want to teach every coach the benefits of building what we like to call a “Diamond Strong” team.
This concept was born from the experience we have gained from watching coaches step to Diamond by meeting the minimum requirements, as seen below in the classic diamond model. The common diamond path is to sponsor a team of coaches with a challenge pack which includes Shakeology on home direct. The coach then continues on with their monthly Shakeology, but doesn’t learn how to build a consistent customer base. The net result is a team with very low volume, and a diamond coach with a sense of disappointment that their cycle bonus qualifies at 3 cycles and nets a total of $54.00. The additional challenge of this weak volume model is that the Diamond coach often struggles to hold their rank every week because they rely on every single coach to stay active. While it’s not wrong to get to diamond this way, it’s not our goal to coach our Diamonds to stay in this weak volume position.
Let’s take this one step closer towards building a Diamond Team with 500+ PV coaches and see what happens. In the model below, the Diamond Coach income jumps from $54.00 to $485.00 a month simply by teaching your coaches to build a small monthly customer base of 500 PV. In this example, the Diamond would earn 25% of 500 points from their own customers, which is approximately $125.00. Then with a team that creates 3000 points on both the left and right legs, divided by the 300 PV required to generate a cycle payout, the team allows the Diamond to earn 20 cycles at $18 each for a monthly cycle bonus of $360.00. Together the commission and bonuses are $485.00! That’s a nice monthly bonus for helping your coaches build their own customer base.
In the true spirit of duplication, we want to teach our Diamonds to build a team of “Emerald Coach Tribes”. We talked about Emerald Tribes in an earlier lesson. The idea being that you teach your personally sponsored coaches to become 500+ PV Emeralds who learn how to teach their coaches to become 500+ PV Emeralds as well. When you build your Diamond team with Emerald Tribes…the results are exciting. The collective team is doing fantastic work helping their individual customers get healthier, and the volume that is produced becomes a nice reward for the Diamond Coach who learned to duplicate and empower their team.
The Diamond Strong Team with 8 Emerald Tribes collectively generates 60,000 PV per month. Let’s break that down for a moment to better understand the power of this. An Emerald Tribe has a minimum of 15 (500 PV) Coaches. 8 Tribes represents 120 coaches. So, in the model below 60,000 PV is created by 120 coaches serving an average of 5-10 customers each. Which translates into 600-1200 customers getting the programs, products and support they need.
Let’s be clear about this team building model. It takes duplication, time and focused effort. It also requires us to help a new coach achieve three things:
1. Create their own 500 PV Customer Base
2. Step to Emerald Coach and build Emerald Tribes
3. Master duplication while keeping it fun
The most important tip in this lesson is to have patience and persistence. Every time you have a coach who wants to build their own Diamond Strong team, you show them the way. That level of confidence can become the fuel your team needs to build and grow together.
Pretty awesome when you see the reality of what’s happening here. The cycle bonus earned by the Diamond Coach who is building strong Emerald Tribes is $3,600.00. This does not include their own customer commissions of $125. Plus, a matching team bonus on their 8 personally sponsored emeralds, adding $258 for a total monthly income just shy of $4,000.00. As you can see in the Diamond Strong model, if you keep building Emerald Tribes, your cycle bonuses and matching bonuses grow too. With 6 tribes on both sides your cycle bonus boosts up to $5,400.00. That’s a huge positive shift from earning $54 as a classic Diamond whose team is just focused on staying active.
