Here’s what podcast cohosts Jonathan Goodman, Carolina Belmares, and Ren Jones talked about this week on the Online Trainer Show: Episode 57, The Importance of Building Positive Relationships with Colleagues, has a very special message for fitness pros: Don’t be a dick. If you need an incentive not to treat people badly, Ren offers three ways being nice pays off: - Learning. There’s no better education experience than explaining something you think you understand to someone who doesn’t. As Jon says, you have to examine what you think you know about the subject, and you end up understanding it on a deeper level.
- Growth. When people like you, you’ll find yourself in the company of people you wouldn’t otherwise have access to—people with knowledge, connections, and resources beyond yours. Their circles become your circles, and your career options expand. Â
- Income. Yes, there’s a straightforward financial
angle to treating colleagues well: Coaches hire coaches. They also tell you about opportunities, often with a recommendation that puts you ahead of other candidates. Â
The title of Episode 58, $35k in 30 days: How Marc-Andre Seers Dominates His Market in a Language Other than English, tells you what to expect from Jon’s conversation with Marc. Marc is a graduate of the Online Trainer Academy Level 2, an English-language curriculum. But instead of going after English-speaking clients, he operates in French, his first and strongest language. Being a bigger fish in a smaller pond means he has less competition for clients who can afford a high-end coaching program. He targets clients who’ve been disappointed by their results on other programs, and sells them with deep conversations punctuated by questions they’ve never been asked—and, in some cases, they’ve never really thought about.  You’ll find every episode here: --> The Online Trainer Show
