Emails to Thermomix?

[Nay-nay]

There really needs to be a 'sarcastic tone' emoticon.

In the demo you actually say the words "with the price of the TMX you also buy a little piece of me!" Which I hate saying and have modified a little. 

I have modified it as well  No-one is buying a piece of me!!!! I am however "always available to help should you have any problems or questions"

what were they about? i haven't had one yet

[faffa_70]

Fathers day and a couple of recipes. One to celebrate South Africa (Hi Shayla lol) joining Thermomix. Want me to forward it to you?

[brazen20au]

oh yes please, do you have my address?

[Thermomixer]

what were they about? i haven't had one yet

OMG - I thought that I had subscribed you before?  You have hit the Unsubscribe button?

[brazen20au]

i found that i had received one in my consultant email address but not my personal email address, so not sure if they intentionally took me off or not.

If I had anything to do with the promotion of Thermomix machines I would recognise this site as being a major contributor to sales not only in this country but internationally as well. I would be forwarding free copies of recipe books and key incentives to the Moderators of this site, and other prime contributors and keeping them in the loop of the latest goings on with Thermomix. I am puzzled as to why these people are not receiving this recognition for their contribution, even if not out of respect then from a marketing perspective?

[Thermomixer]

Gee - we love your thinking CreamPuff    Don't think it will happen.  Consultants are not allowed to have an internet presence !!! (some do ....  but they are not supposed to !)

Not sure if it is an Australian TMX, DSAA, or Vorwerk International directive.    Sad but true - did you read your contract brazen ??

Is this really true??? I have not heard this before!

[I Love Bimby!]

Ohhh there goes my blog I was just building..  ( I didn't read the contract  or that bit). Funny - we are consultants, BUT running our own business....

Will stop there before I get into trouble.

[Thermomixer]

Check your contract Nay-nay - think it is Clause 12 of what you will do?

Sorry to be the purveyor of sad news - especially after encouraging you to set up a blog ILB.

[I Love Bimby!]

That's okay *sniff*sniff*  I was actually looking forward to it, promoting local activities and posting recipes.  Oh well. Will just stick to emails I guess. 

Recently after a few conversations with someone (who will remain un-named) it appears that much of what Thermomix in Australia can do is controlled by the BIG HQ in Switzerland. I'm not sure to what extent, however I was surprised to hear what I did.  It's a fairly complicated/structured (?? I don't have a business background) set up based on the number of sales in that country as to how much support is offered by HQ O/S.

So as much as many people get frustrated, annoyed, fed up etc. I think it may also be worth considering that here, HO's hands may be tied on some things.

I'm with you on this one Cream Puff. A number of customers have had a look on the internet (including this site) and it's been thanks to this that they have made their decision (I always promote this site at demos for the recipes, support etc. - which reminds me I still need to clean up those hints and tips I'd posted...  oops).  This is a really valuable site - even for consultants to chat, compare notes, pick up new recipes, demo formats, hear feedback from customers on cooking classes etc. Not to mention for customers.
