Yes, you heard it correctly, you are now looking at Germany's Next Top Thermomix Consultant.
I met with my lovely GL Petra today, whose English is about as good as my German (plus Ed and another consultant helping her out) and I signed up!!! I am now officially a Thermomix Consultant!! Yippee!! Woohoo!!!
I have read all the pros and cons on the website and from what I have read and understood today (with Ed's assistance of fluent German) it seems to be completely wonderful and honestly NOTHING to lose at all.
I have my kit and my flip chart (AHHH, all in German, might need to pick up an English one when next in Aus???) and I will start on the trail at once. I have two potential parties lined up already and look forward to being THE consultant to the expat English speaking community of Frankfurt and surrounds. And if I have to do a party in German, never fear - Ed is here!!!
As I write to you, guess who has his nose in my Thermobag of tricks, reading every recipe and interrupting me, showing me things and talking non stop about Thermomix. You guessed it - Ed!!!

Thank you so much

Yes good luck Lee, I'm sure your passion for Thermie will hold you in good stead for your new career. Does this been Thermie is better?
-
Yes, in your excitement you forgot to mention how Thermie is doing Lee :D :D This is great news, I'm sure your demos will be great - I for one would love to see you in action, you would have to be one of the keenest people I have ever 'met'. Hopefully it won't mean you will have less time to keep in touch with us all. Good luck :-*
-
Nothing like a positive attitude!! Good luck and hope you conquer any German language issues,
-
CONGRATULATIONS Lee :-* :-* :-* :-*
Make sure you add your name to this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1297.0) list ;)
-
I'd love to come to one of your demos Lee. You will have fun I am sure.
Good luck with it all. Hope Thermie is feeling better.
-
Oh, it is thanks to you Judy and Kathryn and all you Thermodarlings on the amazing forum that I am so keen. Even though Thermie is not fit for demos yet, he soon will be. I showed Thermie's embarrassing little problem to her and she said the entire bowl will be replaced. She didn't have one on hand but just pop to her house and my wish is her command.
Basically, I don't want to be anything like my own consultant. And after her really ignoring me since purchase, I thought if she can make a sale with literally zero effort, imagine what I could do... :)
Unfortunately, I am crazy busy with work right now and I am flying off to a conference in Cambridge, UK next Friday for five days PLUS I am on an organising committee for another one here in Germany so heaven knows when I will actually get around to hosting my first party. I am motivated, my GL knows that and she is happy that I just do what I do. This will never be a full time job, nor do I want it to be. But I have a couple of parties lined up already and I am ready to go.
Thank you to all for your support and encouragement so far.

Your a natural Lee and you will make a fantastic demonstrator.I wish you well in your new adventure with Thermie.Don't get too busy and forget your new found friends here because we would miss you. :)
-
good luck lee...language barrier or not im sure youll do great! So how long have you been living in germany lee?
-
I've been here since December 2009 and I just love it. I understand far more German than I am able to speak. But I figure that mixing with German speakers, in particular my GL and team, will help with the language development far more than a course will. I will do English parties for now and who knows, maybe one day, a German party!! Thanks for the good wishes Frozzie!!

;D
PS Hope I don't get asked for a party this week - Thermie is still sick!
:(
-
So pleased to hear your decision to become a consultant - I think, considering your enthusiasm, it was inevitable that you would take this step and we all know you (and Ed, as I don't think he is wanting to be left out of all of this) will be a great success. Don't forget to keep in touch with us all, though, as your posts on this forum have been wonderful and we all look forward to your next forum 'instalment'.
-
Lee,, and Ed, go for it. Good luck.
-
Lee that's wonderful news. I'm sure you and thermie will make a wonderful team, just as you and Ed are already a wonderful team.
Good luck. I wish you lots and lot of bookings and lots and lots of sales. You deserve it.
-
Yippee and Yay everyone and thank you. Like I say, I still have to get around to actually having these demos but I will, after all this jolly conferencing!!! At least I can still be a a part of the forum whilst I am away.

;D
-
Lee your enthusiasm is infectious - makes me who is trying to rationally decide if I can get a TMX very hard!! I am sure you will indeed be Germany's top TMX consultant.
-
Congratulations Lee & Ed. Best of luck with your new venture your positive nature will make you sure winner Lee. Where in Germany are you?
-
Thats a wonderful idea, and there is every reason to believe you will be Germany's No. 1 Consultant :-* Are you going to wear the apron?
-
oh so its all fairly recentish....how are you handling the winters??? thats one thing I have never gotten used to...i cope ok but boy do I miss the sun and warmth over the very long months of winter....and the lovelys on this forum who happen to live in oz tell us all about their heat and sun and dips in the pool or beach lol!! Glad its all going well for you and Ed?
-
Lee, I'm sure your smile and enthusiasm will sell more TMX than 100 words :)
-
Oh, I just love you all!!! My GL's first group meeting (or whatever its called) has been cancelled!!! AHHHHH! She runs a cooking school (a TMX one and a NON TMX one) and her water is going to be turned off for the night!! Poor darling. So I will have to wait another week or so until my official unveiling as a TMX Consultant, in front of all the existing consultants. Even though I don't speak German as well as they do, I secretly really want to beat them but doing the demos in "Bad" language and make awesome sales. Is that bad? Or just competitive?
I am using this time to practice my demonstration recipes. I have a rather large school launch coming up September 20th. I decided that I will provide the "catering". School will pay for the ingredients. I can cook them and practice and TMX. People will rave about what I cooked and ask me more.... What? I'm NOT going to tell them about TMX? I think a Year 7 orientation AND TMX go beautifully together. And besides, I have to get rid of all that practice food, don't I?

;D
-
Lee - with your great personality I'm sure you'll be Germany's top consultant in no time. Have fun with it. Your customers will love the TM and you.
-
Sounds like the school are really lucky they have you and thermie to look after them.
Oh i wish i could play.
Hally :)
-
Lee a consultant?? :-)). Yep that will definitely work. Just from reading your posts Lee I think you would make an awesome consultant. You will be selling TM's left right and center. There will be no stopping you. You will have to start beating the customers off with a stick.
Seriously good luck but with your enthusiasm I don't think you will need it.
-
Thank you all for your kind wishes and thoughts. I am off to Cambridge tomorrow for a five day conference. I will be checking in but I am just having a last minute play with Thermie, even though Darling Ed offered to get takeaway, I replied with an exhausted "No thank you!"
Wondering what to do with Thermie whilst I am away... I can't take him with me. Will Ed provide the adequate love and attention he needs, as he is STILL ill? What to do???? Another Thermomix crisis for you all to consider... what do you do when you CANNOT take your Thermomix with you???

;D
PS I told a lovely Mommy in the car park at school today that I am selling Thermomix. Almost sold there and then on the spot!!! Will chat to her again next week. :)
-
A possible sale already - great start to your life as a TMX consultant. Well done!
Enjoy your visit to England and don't fret, I'm sure Ed will take extra special care of Thermie whilst you are away - he will be all well again and ready to go when you get back home (Thermie, that is, I'm sure Ed is already in fine form!).
-
Have a great time in the UK Lee, pity the whole family can't go with you but we have to do what we have to do and Ed will look after your baby for you I'm sure. I can just see you bailing ladies up in the carpark spruking the TMX :D :D Doesn't matter where you make a sale, grab them all.
-
Yay Lee your first sale - you legend!! Planning any trips to Australia you could do my demo. Have fun in the UK.
-
What a great idea? Am I allowed to sell internationally? Surely not! Otherwise I will have to take brochures. And it would be "awful" if a Thermomix slide just appeared in the middle of one of my presentations? I remember playing that old Tupperware trick once and letting some tiny plastic containers "accidentally" fall out of my bag to create interest and discussion and naturally a party booking.
How funny... Can you imagine everyone sitting seriously, waiting to listen to a lecture, pulling their laptops out and I produce Thermie and whip a risotto and start passing it around?? I almost want to do it!!!!
I guess that is one way to become Germany's Next Top Thermomix Consultant!!!!!

;D
-
I think your onto something.
Its a long time since I have attended a conference, my eldest of 4 is 9 years old, so a long time out of the workforce, but as I remember at some stage most conferences get boring! What a great way to break up the day with some yummy risotto & share the obsession!!!!! I would have loved someone to do that for me.
-
Dont worry Lee I acost people in the treadmill, and I am not even a consultant!LOL ;D
Have fun in the UK
Hally
-
Well Lee you ARE on to something!! Whilst DH is no longer a consultant, he had to do a 15 min presentation this week so took TMX and made risotto whilst presenting his "how to get the most out of your TMX" presentation ;D ;D ;D
-
Lots of love from Cambridge to you all. I am sitting in a workshop but I just had to check out what you were all cooking...
Speak soon,
Lee
