In this episode, I’m diving into a problem that’s plaguing in our industry: mismanaged expectations. We have a lot of unrealistic expectations, which are often fueled by hype marketing like I talked about in the . When we measure our success by the wrong metrics or fail to celebrate the progress we have made, we risk...
info_outline 451: Are You Marketing Your Business With Heart or Hype?Your Virtual Upline Podcast
Let’s be real: social media is packed right now with what I like to call “hype marketing.” You know the posts—“biggest launch in the history of network marketing,” “a compensation plan like nothing you’ve ever seen.” It’s constant. But here’s the truth: these tactics aren’t just overused; they’re actually driving people away and undermining your business’s credibility. If you’ve been caught up in this approach—maybe because it’s what’s being taught or you’re following what everyone else is doing—I want you to know that it’s ok and you can start doing...
info_outline 450: Lessons to be Learned From BeachbodyYour Virtual Upline Podcast

info_outlineToday I’m introducing you to one of our students, Jess Touchette. She took her VIP customer group that she wasn’t using and turned it into a profitable tool for her business using our key strategies that we teach inside our program!
Over the last 3 years, Jess has shown up differently in her group and as a result, she has seen major growth! She has more engaged members, and is making $2K to $3K in sales a month from her group alone! In fact, right now her VIP group is the number one business building tool that Jess has, with a thriving community of over 1,700 people that she loves spending time with and serving. In this episode, Jess reveals exactly how she did it.
If you’re feeling frustrated and wondering if your group is something you should be focusing on, I hope this conversation with Jess will inspire and educate you!
Would you like to turn your Facebook Group into a money-making machine for your business, like Jess has done? If so, I’ll be hosting a free 3-day workshop on July 23rd to July 25th called How to Revive + Monetize Your VIP Customer Group.
