Good question. Kelly began her TSFL weight loss, with a friend of hers, Jill, as her coach. Jill stayed on top of Kelly's progress, a lot of calls at first, then just to check in. I could tell that Kelly was struggling to tell her everything, but that she really appreciated the follow up. I also saw that it was working. Kelly has lost over 45 pounds so far, and BELIEVES she can lose 25 more. Kelly brought me into the program as my health coach, but she is too nice, and I struggled a bit more. I have lost the weight, but did not have the level of accountability that she has had. Now Kelly is coaching, and as she works with couples, the men and the women have such different follow up needs, that I felt I could do well with the men, and even some of the women who just need to feel like their progress matters to someone. So, I took the leap.
I went to a training this week, and the sales approach is this. Use the products, tell others, have fun. It is not a pyramid, and I am paid by the company, not the person. I found out that a client can pay the same buying from Medifast as from TSFL, they just don't get the free coaching. I guess the cost of getting new customers equals the cost of paying me, so it is a win either way for Medifast. TSFL is the coaching arm of Medifast, a $300MM company that has been around 30 years.
Also, I have some dreams about working in jobs where the pay is not what I have received in the past, and this program offers me some supplemental income that I could really benefit from.
