Booking Your Free New Member Coaching Call (Part 7)
Kerry, who runs the affiliate coaching program at Empower Network, opens with a warning dressed as an incentive: the new member coaching call is free, but only if you show up. Miss it, and you get billed $100.
The call is free unless you no-show
Kerry, introducing himself as the head of the affiliate coaching program, lays out the deal in plain terms. After a new member has gone through the earlier videos and set a basic outcome for their Empower Network business, the client services department contacts them to book a one-on-one coaching session. That session runs a full hour, and Kerry asks that people be booked into a time when they are “distraction free.”
If you do not show up to the time selected, you will be invoiced and charged $100 for missing your appointment. However, show up and the time is yours for free.
The logic he gives for this is simple: his team is “trained, competent, and knows exactly how to help you,” but none of that matters if the person on the other end doesn’t show up. The fee isn’t for the coaching, it’s a penalty for wasting the appointment slot.
Do the work before the call, not just after
Kerry ties the coaching call to something members should have already started. He references the earlier video with John Oakes and the “daily shortcut” acceleration training, and asks that members complete that shortcut once, then do it a second time before the coaching team gets on the phone with them.
His reasoning is an old line he repeats directly: “you can’t steer a ship that’s anchored to the ocean floor because it ain’t moving.” The point is that if someone has already taken action, however small, the coaching team can give sharper, more specific advice, because there is already something real to work with. The call itself is meant to produce a 31-day game plan, built from an 81-page members-only document, but Kerry frames the coaching as most useful to people who arrive with their “feet already wet.”
Kerry’s own credentials for asking people to be coached
To make the case for being coachable, Kerry brings in his own background as a professional triathlete, saying the people who win “aren’t always the most gifted,” but are the ones who “refuse to quit for any reason” and are willing to be guided by someone who has already done what they’re trying to do. He mentions traveling to train under Richard Bandler, co-creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and says he has worked with seven, eight, and nine figure earners on and off the internet, plus done six figures in sales in a single week by himself on the phones.
He also uses a specific number to describe what the coaching team has produced before: in 2013, when he joined the coaching team, he says they helped Dave Wood add $360,000 to his affiliate income in a single month.
What happens after the call is booked
Once the appointment is booked, Kerry directs people to the next video, where David Wood explains how to put the coaching information together and build momentum. He credits David with having helped fifteen people make over a million dollars, winning every affiliate competition he has been part of, being the number one recruiter in four separate companies, and doing over $200 million in sales across more than 100 countries.
Kerry closes by asking members to answer the phone when client services calls, to be on time for the coaching session, and to treat the hour as something worth protecting. As he puts it, the team believes in the people coming through this process, and the aim of the call is to take whatever resources someone already has and aim them at producing results in the shortest time possible.

My name is Kerry and I'm the head of the affiliate coaching program here at Empower Network. My outcome in the coaching program is simple and that's to give you what you need to get the results you want with the resources you have available. And that's what I believe. I believe that you have the power to reach your personal dreams and goals and right now you can set up to be the person that you desire to be, right? And because I want to help you get results and the best way to do that is to get you connected with someone one-on-one on our team. And I'm going to keep this video short and to the point.
So here's the deal. What we've done in the last video is set basic outcomes that you want to reach in your Empower Network business and our coaching team is here to help you create the fastest possible path to achieve that outcome. Our client services department will be in touch with you to find out a little bit more about your outcomes, the resources you have available and book you into an appointment to go through your new member coaching. The fact that you've made it this far means something is very special about you. It means you're the kind of person that has the desire not to just join a system with proven results. It says you're the kind of person who wants to get those results and is willing to do whatever it takes.
That's exactly the kind of person I'm looking to work with. One of the things that I learned from being a professional triathlete is that people who win in life aren't always the most gifted. They're the people who just refuse to quit for any reason, are willing to be coached and guided by someone who's been there and done that themselves. I've traveled the world to be trained by Richard Bama, the co-creator of Neuro Linguistic Programming or otherwise known as NLP, worked with some of the biggest seven, eight and nine figure earners on and off the internet and more importantly, gutting on the phones and done six figures in a single week by myself. I remember back in 2013, I came into the coaching team for the first time and we helped Dave Wood add another $360,000 to his affiliate income in a single month. I get a thrill out of helping men and women step into the power to get the results they want and produce six and even seven figure incomes, creating the life of their dreams.
What exactly is going to happen next? You're going to receive a phone call from our client services department to connect with you and make sure you know exactly what to do next. They're going to connect with you and make sure that you're booked into your new member coaching session. On our new member coaching, what you're going to experience is a complete, simple, actionable game plan that you can immediately implement and follow step by step for the next 31 days. You'll have access to a detailed members-only 81-page game plan document that will show you exactly what to do. Our coaching team is going to help you get plugged in and make sure you're building your business in a way that fits you inside your financial capabilities so you can get the results you want and ensure that you have access to our Facebook community, our tools, and everything you need to win right now.
There's a couple of things I'm going to ask you to do in exchange for this time. Our team is going to spend together with you. First off, you need to show up. My team is trained, competent, and knows exactly how to help you, but we can't help you get the results if you're not willing to show up. Because of that, this session is free and you won't be charged unless you miss the appointment. Let me be crystal clear.
If you do not show up, again, if you do not show up to the time selected, you will be invoiced and charged $100 for missing your appointment. However, show up and the time is yours for free. When you receive your phone call, our client service specialist will make sure you are booked into a time where you are distraction free for one full hour. Second, you've already learned what to do every day in our video with John Oakes. After you've done that with the acceleration training, I want you to complete the first daily shortcut and then do it one more time before our team gets on the phone with you. There's an old saying that you can't steer a ship that's anchored to the ocean floor because it ain't moving.
Well, the same is true here. If you're taking action and your feet are wet and we get on with you, you'll have a little bit of experience and we'll be able to guide you with more powerful, specific advice because you've already started doing what is going to get you results. Take massive action starting right now. Then let's get on and make a 31-day game plan, which is exactly what the coaching call is for. We want to help you get results, clarify what to do, and then take the resources you have and aim them in the right direction to produce maximum results in the minimum amount of time. Remember, the session is free of charge to help you as long as you show up.
Be on time and we'll be here to help you empower your life to a whole new level. I believe in you and so does the team. Make sure that when our team calls you that you have a few minutes to pick up the phone and speak with our trained specialists. We believe in you and we're here to serve. Are you ready? Because I look forward to meeting you in person soon.
After you've booked our appointment, or your appointment, I should say, click on the next step where David Wood is going to show you how to take all this information, put it together, and accelerate your momentum. Here's what I'm going to do to encourage you. Like with your coach, listen intently. David has helped 15 people make over a million dollars and won every affiliate competition he's ever been part of. He's been the number one recruiter in four separate companies and done over $200 million in sales in over 100 different countries. And that's not just that.
He cares about people and he tells you like it is, which is why I'm here working with him. So because we're both here with the same mission, your results. All right, so I look forward to connecting with you, our team, and helping you walk through the process of creating a step-by-step game plan to reach your goals right now. Proceed to the next video and we'll talk soon.
