Being a Consultant.
« on: September 20, 2010, 11:02:58 pm »
So...., I am thinking of becoming a Consultant in Canada because I think EVERYONE should have a Bimby and I know where I need to send my money to apply but I just would like some feedback on what it will all entail to become one.

I would love some feedback on what it will all entail.  Can anyone help me out with some info.

Thanks in advance for all your help.  ;D

What is your situation and what would you like to know? I love it and get so much out of sharing my passion for Thermomix with people. I also love meeting new people, seeing how it makes a difference on their life and meeting their friends and family. I also like to be just 'Meagan' rather than 'mum' when I go and do a demo :)

Basically, from what I gather is that I go and do home demos or parties and I receive a commission from any sales.  I imagine I get some sort of kit to work with and then start with my friends and generally it branches out from there.  What sort of kit would I get?  Then I imagine I will do all kinds of cooking demos and a sales pitch of some sort.  I have no problem with sales a sales pitch.  I'm a girl and can talk anyone into anything : ).  Just teasing, I know a Bimby sells itself!!!  I can't believe I have ever lived without one.   ;D

I am not sure how it works in Canada but in Oz you train for free, buy a kit with carry bag,flip chart, folders,consultant manual cook books etc. Then sell sell sell ;) I started by asking everyone I knew to host a demo so I could practice and have sold quite a few in the 10 months I have been consulting. Go for it! It is really great you can choose your hours and you get constant inspiration from meetings etc.

I don't know??  I was asking questions and was told I had to send $112.00 to get the answers.  They sent an application that had some info and then I aksed a few more questions but that also included the kit I am supposed to have (the carry case and apron) and the dowmload link where I download the promo material that I need.  Does that sound right?

I don't know how they handle it in BC. Nobody asked me for money here.
