Should You Suggest Supplements for Better Client Results?

Podcast Cover - Fitness Business

What if every workout you created for yourself or clients got even better results? 

Should Trainers Suggest Supplements? 

What’s your stance on that? I believe that in 2023, it’s still and has always will be food first. Yet, I find it almost impossible for even me who I’d say is incredibly conscious of what I will and refuse to put in my mouth to eat enough and enough diversity on a consistent basis, or to eat all that I would need to in order to make the nutritional needs I have. 

It’s going to take more to compensate for depleted and overworked soil, sabotaged by pesticides and fertilizer. 

And as new discoveries are made, about molecules we didn’t know could support human health, do you ignore them or are you curious about how they can help you and your clients?

Answer some questions about topics you want to talk about:

  • How is it tied to this season?
  • How is it tied to something in the news?
  • How is it tied to recent science?
  • How does it directly benefit the audience you want to speak in front of?
  • How does it make the host of the show or meeting look good? (do ratings go up? Does the boss love it when employees or sales reps have a good meeting experience or end up more productive and more satisfied with their job?)  

Think specific to your audience. Businesses need to hear about outcomes that businesses measure.

Ideas for How To Get Booked For More Interviews

  1. Call every friend you have. 
  2. Ask her/him for every group they’re in. 
  3. Ask for the meeting planner’s name and contact information (hint: it’s often the vice president that does the program planning).
  4. Ask for an introduction via email or coffee.
  5. Call the local radio and news stations. Ask for the producer. Which producer? The one that books guests.
  6. Start contacting people and recording the dates and details.
  7. Do you need to follow up?
