I expect my consultant to have enthusiasm for the machine and appreciation for an easy sale. I would think that if a sale was made and a consultant was planning to be offline or away for the month after a sale was made that a good consultant would put you in touch with another consultant/GL to offer follow up and demo's.
I don't really like that in order to buy cookbooks a consultant would prefer you to order them your selves and pay for postage. Other consultants I know have them available for their customers without the postage fee added on.
I expect a consultant to inform all their customers of upcoming cooking classes or public demo's and not find out via another consultant.
If a consultant stops selling I would appreciate the courtesy of introducing me (even online) to another consultant in my area.
My main thing I would LOVE is if my consultant could let me know of host rewards/offers of things that I want to add to my TMX experience such as when the 2nd jug offer or a certain cookbook comes up as a host reward contact me and ask if I would like to book a demo.

Hi
I was hoping someone could help me out with a spinach cob loaf dip. That doesn't use frozen spinach. I have my cob loaf ready to go but have no idea what is in or how to make a spinach dip.
Thanks.

I made the Chicken and Cashews with Coconut Satay Sauce and Coconut Rice last night but changed it to almonds instead. It was delicious. I think I added way to many vegies to the Varoma tray though as they took a while and it was over flowing.
I am trying to find a cob loaf spinach dip today that doesn't use frozen spinach. I made poached eggs yesterday and they were delicious. Have done 3 x bread (loaf, cob loaf and buns) today. And there is still the dip and some muffins to make yet.
I guess it is all about baby steps and taking it slowly to gain confidence.
I will have to look for more one [pot recipes as they are awesome and make the TMX very much worth it.
I think I've been avoiding EDC recipes as I wasn't having much success with them and when I came on here I saw a few were not quite right and another consultant had said similar bout some of the EDC recipes.
Thanks everyone.

That recipe looks great CreamPuff thanks.
Yep that exactly what I had faffa. We cooked pumpkin soup and a sorbet. But my thermomserver came with my TMX so I don't think I actually qualified for one without having a delivery demo.
So do I have this right:
Basic demo - others attend (most people make a purchase after attending one of these, I didn't attend a demo before buying my machine but had heard such great things about them and a friend had shown me hers)
Delivery demo - others attend and you get a free thermoserver
Delivery briefing - just the consultant and the client check over the TMX works and everything was in its box by completing one recipe.
Varoma demo- others attend
Any other demo's I should know about? I need all the cooking classes demo's I can get!!

I'm near Newcastle in Port Stephens. I've had my 'toy' since mid December. I had a 'delivery' demo (which wasn't what my friends got, different menu or something) and then my consultant went away for a month. I just attended a basic cooking class on Tuesday because a friend mentioned to her consultant I was having dramas and she rang to tell me that the cooking classes were being held locally and she would love to meet me, that was helpful. Truthfully I don't know where I am stuck, I don't use it because I don't want to wreck good food. At the moment I am having success with bread and yogurt. I would love to know more about cooking basic food like steamed meat, and a salad and/or sauce which I was hoping to get that info out of the varoma demo. I'll check out the demonstrators on here. Glad to see orphans are loved by the passionate consultants.

Yep it was cancelled, and illness was the excuse. I'm just not feeling an 'you deserve my time and effort, you obviously need help. What can I do?' kinda love from my current consultant.
My friends who were really only coming so I could learn and gain confidence weren't too impressed and I am disheartened.

Wow this thread was a bit of a shock to the system. I am very glad people feel comfortable enough around here to be honest though.
Can someone confirm something for me: Is it true there is no minimum time to have had your thermomix for before you become a consultant? Is it true that a consultant could have got their machine a week ago and be putting on demo's and cooking classes? I heard a consultant can pay of their machine whilst working.

It has become apparent I need to find a new consultant, I feel like I was just a sale. A demo I was meant to have tonight was cancelled and I am desperate to learn how to use my machine or sell it  . So what do you think is the right thing/proper etiquette when switching consultants? How do I go about finding a new consultant in my area? I feel terrible that the sale has already been made, and the commission went to someone that isn't helping me. I don't feel right about contacting another consultant and asking for some demo's when I know, no sale will come out of any of them. I doubt I'll even have friends to invite any demo's now cause I've already my demos been cancelled a few times. What should I do?

I was wondering if anyone else has attended/hosted a Varoma demo. I'm having mine tonight, and am a bit concerned, I just got my ingredients list of things I need to buy for tonight and it doesn't seem like a Varoma demo.
Fruity Dream, Pizza, Dip, Soup, Chicken, Pumpkin and Couscous Salad, and Steamed Puddings. What do you think? Is this a varoma demo menu, or a basic demo menu?
I attended a basic cooking class on Tuesday and on the menu was: sorbet, dip, bread, scrolls, steamed pudding, salad, vegie pasta thingy and a juice. Both these menu's are very similar.
So I was wondering whats on the menu for most Varoma demo's?

Wow am I confused now. My consultant hasn't got back to me about the incentives for February. I really feel as though I was just a 'sale' and without this forum I would be completely pissed off about my TMX purchase. I feel like I have missed out heaps. What should I do? Is it possible to find another consultant in my area?

Oh I got shown how to make pumpkin soup and blueberry sorbet. Is that a normal delivery demo menu? I also got a thermoserve with my TMX, was that not supposed to happen?
So maybe I will chase up another varoma demo before the end of Jan as I would love the Varoma cookbook.

Whats the go with 3 people at a delivery demo? For mine it was just me, and I didn't even have a demo or attend one before I brought it.
Also does the cookbook thingo only go for January? As I have a Varoma demo booked for Feb as that is the only time my consultant could fir me in, I might try and go with a different consultant if thats the case.
