What to cook for family dinner (they've never seen tmx before)

[trudy o]

have actually thought about signing up as a demonstrator but with two young children it's hard to get time to do any demonstrations but even if I got around that, I 've heard that demonstrators have to make sales targets - not sure if thats right but i'd be nervous that i couldn't sell enough lol.
everfyone i speak to about it wants one though

[brazen20au]

from what i've seen the targets must be fairly flexible though.

kids are no excuse, i used to do several tupperware demos a week with 3 lol just have to have a willing dh lol

what puts me off being a tmx demonstrator is having to pay to sign up (with tw you pay it off in your first few parties) and worse, having to go to sydney 2 or 3 times for their training. that's a huge expense and imposition! IMO if they are serious about having demonstrators in canberra they would offer it here 

[trudy o]

i didn't know you have to pay to sign up either

[brazen20au]

most party plans do ask you to, to cover the cost of the kit. TW is the only one i've found who don't.

There is a business kit fee and a program to earn your TMX for free - based on your sales in the first 60 days.  Then on going to remain an active consultant you need to have sold one in a 2 month period on going.

Certainly demonstrators in city areas are better supported.  Being in a regional area you need to be fairly motivated.

Guess it all depends on your circumstance and what suits you.  Plenty of consultants make a good living off it.

For me as a single Mum who also works a 'normal job' time is an issue. However I consider it more of a hobby.  No one here has seen it and I sincerely believe it's too important not know about.

If you are keen on learning more about the commission structure, training etc. Contact your consultant who will fill out a "prospective consultant questionaire" on your behalf. This would then be passed onto the Group Leader of the area and they will contact you and discuss in more detail. It's pretty open and of course obligation free.

I am quite shocked reading your posts, seems quite a different story here in Spain. You can earn your THX by selling 6 (over a period of 4 months) and it doesn't cost a thing to become a Bimbette!

Baf65 gave me some information on becoming a consultant. She may be helpful to you. I would love to be a consultant and share my love of the machine with others, but it was having to sell one every 2 months that put me off as I would rather show people and then leave it to them to think about, especially as I travel a lot and hate being pushy. Now I'm retired my days of being a pushy teacher are over.

[I Love Bimby!]

You dont need to be pushy. If being a consultant was about being a Sales person I wouldn't be doing this. That isn't for me.  The Thermomix sells itself (most people here would have purchased theirs because they loved the machine - not because of a sales person convincing them). As a consultant, my view is that I'm just here to show people what it can do.  They can choose if it's for them or not.

[brazen20au]

i think it would sell itself too - the price would be the only real barrier

[I Love Bimby!]

Yep, that's the stumbling block. But they have some great options available to make the purchase affordable. I'm even considering the finance option for TMX #2.

[brazen20au]

LOL!

i can only dream...

It is appealing to have that option - certainly sounds better to have months of little mild pains, than one huge OUCH on the hip pocket nerve.

It should almost come with a money-back guarantee !

[brazen20au]

luckily we had some money stashed away at the time as dh was  at the end cost of the payment plans (ie: a LOT more than the upfront payment cost)

[I Love Bimby!]

LOL!

The beauty of being single - don't have anyone to answer to    It has it's upsides!! he he he

[Thermomixer]
