Week #3 - We Got A Winner!

Mindy Kinsella is our Week #3 winner of the "Try Shakeology Today!" weekly $1000 giveaway!
She's a coach that's been drinking Shakeology for 5 months. She originally wanted to try it because she was having trouble losing those stubborn last few pounds, and was able to do just that thanks to Shakeology! The most surprising thing to her about drinking Shakeology how much it increases her energy levels and how she feels it got rid of her daily morning headaches.

She says she's excited about Shakeology and shares her enthusiasm with everyone she knows, asking them, "Do you want to try the healthiest tastiest meal you will have today? It's not only a meal replacement shake, not only a protein smoothie, not just a drink full of daily fruits, veggies, vitamins, minerals, but it's the whole package! So, here, drink this!"

She says she's also excited to share the news of her winnings with her Coaches & Customers so that they'll submit their entry forms, too.

Thanks Mindy. Way to spread the word! This stuff is saving lives by feeding people what their body craves to operate the way it was designed.

Fourth Time's The Charm!

National Phone Call -- 1,000 Phone Lines. New System. New Number!

We've been through the ringer on these weekly phone calls. So we stepped our game up and established a new Team Beachbody® Conference Center to manage all future National Coach Calls.

To ask you to give us another chance and start the week off with the momentum this opportunity deserves, I'm putting up another $500 and a ticket to the 2010 Summit to a coach who is relentless enough to join us on Monday!

Larry Zimberg and his special guest, Diamond Coach Dallas Carter will discuss how to use the Success Club to drive organization growth.

Dial in at 9:00 AM PT/12:00 PM ET on this new number:

1(605)475-4408 – Password: 90405.

(Congratulations to Coaches Dan Lusk, Julie Wainer, and Sean Dorsett for winning the first three $500 drawings and 2010 Summit tickets.)

Shakeology Winner!

More and more people are enjoying the health benefits of Shakeology, as more people are enjoying the $1,000 we're giving away each week through March!

Our second winner is Dottie Wood, a Team Beachbody coach from Grapevine, TX who's been drinking Shakeology for over 4 months!

She writes that Shakeology is a "great way to fight junk food and sweet cravings, increase energy, get regular and it tastes fabulous!"

Thanks Dottie, and thanks to everyone who entered. There's another contest each week, ending Thursday at midnight - so get your entry in! And of course the monthly $5,000 contest is coming up soon!

Help Us Help Haiti

Our help is needed in Haiti, right now.

Will you meet the challenge and help your brothers and sisters in Haiti?

We're asking our employees and Team Beachbody Coaches and Members to join us in sending aid to Haiti ASAP! The company will match every dollar you give*, with a goal of matching up to $50,000 if we all take action!

That’s $100,000 in aid if we match the $50,000 put up by the company.

As you know, on Tuesday the catastrophic earthquake killed thousands, injured hundreds of thousands, and stranded many many more. As many as 3 million people have been affected, including thousands of Americans.

If you remember the suffering of people in New Orleans in the wake of Katrina, this is like that, but on steroids. And we need to step up and help these people.

*We are committed to sending cash for aid immediately. And if you join us, we will match all contributions up to a $50,000 match of donations made by employees, Coaches and customers to Haiti relief at the following sites:

· http://quixote.org/haiti

· http://www.pih.org

· http://doctorswithoutborders.org/

NOTE: The least known is Quixote, but they come highly, highly recommended by Beachbody President, Jon Congdon and some people he knows who do work in and around Haiti. These organizations were selected because they are effective and a maximum percentage of contributions go to aid, rather than administration.

Send proof of your contribution by email to bcarpender@productpartners.com.

Further details to be added here from time to time, but all you’ll need is some form of documentation showing that you’ve contributed, and Product Partners will match! BUT WE MUST ACT NOW!

Stepping up and contributing can turn this tragedy in a unifying, "do good" moment for us all. Your GENEROUS donations will:

· Deliver necessary food and supplies to Haiti

· Engage in the long-term rebuilding efforts

· Fill the gaps between the massive deliveries of supplies and what our partners on the ground tell us Haitians need

· Help with urgently needed medical help to those most in need.

· Provide temporary hospitals in areas most traumatized

· Be matched by Product Partners up to $50,000 – meaning together we can be responsible for $100,000 in relief money that will go directly to Haiti -- BUT ONLY IF YOU HELP US NOW!

Thank you!

The 1st Shakeology $1,000 Winner!

The have our first winner of the "Try Shakelogy Today, Win $1000" contest!

David Calkins, a Shakeology customer heard about this breakthrough from his girlfriend who showed him "the Breakthrough" video (she is also a Shakeology customer who heard about it from Hillary Kelly, a Team Beachbody Coach that left one of those DVD's with her in case she knew of anyone who would want to try it. Way to use 3rd party tools Hillary!)

David’s only been drinking it for the past 4 days, but says in his entry that it makes him "feel awesome". On He also checked off that Shakeology had improved the following areas of his health A LOT:

> Energy level

> Hunger/Cravings

> Digestion and Regularity

Plus he reports it had helped reduce headaches he was suffering from.

Four days of consuming the healthiest meal of the day, he's already feeling healthier, and he's $1,000 richer for it!

There's a new $1,000 winner every week, so take your picture, send it in, and let Shakeology enrich your life!

You Want Results? Get a Plan

Here's what happens when you have a plan to make your hair lighter. I put peroxide on my dark hair for a week in Kauai, HI. Bingo!... strawberry-blond CEO. (But it only happens if I follow the plan every day.)

You want results when it comes to growing your business? Use the strategies of the Team Beachbody Game Plan. (But it only works if you follow the plan every day.)

Right now the nation turns its eyes away from the fridge, and down toward the scale and you hear this reaction: "WHAT THE?!!"

Enter, the Game Plan strategy: By posting the 3rd party promotional videos from your coach back office onto Twitter and Facebook, and giving copied of our third party DVD's ("Decide", "The Invitation,". and "The Breakthrough") to your contacts, you are generating Game Plan "exposures". You want to expose the material to at least two people a day - especially now!

With all the attention on weight loss, the demand for the messages on these tools is stronger than ever! Demand makes it more likely you will make sales. But YOU have to create the exposure to get the benefit of that demand!

If you want first hand insight into how to make it happen, join me and the team in Boston on Saturday Jan 9th. If you need proof that the Game Plan is a sure thing, log on to the Facebook page and just watch success as it happens. These coaches are relentless. They put their faith in the Game Plan and are recruiting new people to help us grow the business like crazy! Coaches are diving into the "Getting Started Right" plan, and the "90 days to Diamond Plan", all using the ten tenets of the overall Team Beachbody Game Plan to get predictable, reliable results. You can have that success too!

You and your efforts are VERY valuable and vital to us reaching our "Billion Dollar a Year" goal. We see who is making things happen, and we see who is putting in the effort to get people healthy and focus on Shakeology. Your efforts make us proud, and your efforts deserve the reward. With consistent use of the Game Plan, you could reach the Success Club, earn the $50 bonus, and be on the path to getting on the next big coach trip!

Now is the time to make it happen. It's not just about short term results, but that doesn't mean you can't get short term results. It's about getting people healthy and fit for the long haul. And it's about building a business that will pay you dividends over the long haul. Take advantage of the timing, and work the Game Plan now!
