Becoming a consultant

[cecilia]

My meeting is coming up at the end of the month.  The incentives will always be listed on the http://www.thermomix.com.au page so keep an eye out there.

Cecelia does this mean you are not allowed to mention this forum?

[cecilia]

Hi Love my thermo.  I put my answer that way so that Grapesy would be aware of the routine/regular access to information. I love this forum and I try to share my perspective as a consultant in support of others here as well as on the Thermmix Recipe Community forum.  I have learnt heaps here from Thermomix users far more experienced than I am and I often reach out for advice or information, sometimes for myself (as I was hopeless in the kitchen before I got my Thermomix) and very often on behalf of customers, so I try to give back as much as I can here and elsewhere on the web.  

For the record, I have found out some info that might help Grapesy:

May Purchase Incentive: With every TM purchase the customer will receive a Best of our Recipe Community Cookbook

Existing Customer: Host Varoma Demo in May = $30 Best of our Recipe Community Cookbook
OR if sale at the demo= Free cookbook

PLUS

cecelia there will be a lot of people out there very happy to hear about the interest free! Thanks for letting us know.

How does the interest free work? You still obviously need to go through the finance company and I take it they have their own admin/processing fees involved?
I am about to purchase the TM today and I'm interested to know what everyone's tips are for the first meals cooked in it? I'm a little overwhelmed with all the options so something tasty and easy would be a good start.

Grapesy do the vegie stock first as that will be ever so useful.

Grapesy, I'd give the Pumpkin Soup a go.

I cooked this for my in-laws a couple of weeks ago when I borrowed my sister's TMX.  They said it was the best pumpkin soup they've every tasted.  It was the recipe from the every day cooking book.

Regarding the interest free deal, it still goes through the finance company, I'm not sure of the particulars, but I'm 100% certain there will be additional fees and charges payable on top of the $1,939.

Grapesy, this is an old thread of what people did for their first meals and of course since then there are so many more recipes available but this will give you some ideas.

$1939 plus $167 fees comprising application fee $70 and monty a/c keeping fees.  Still makes TMX accessible to a lot of families.  .

I wonder just how that compares to just putting on a low interest credit card. And I wonder if HO gets a finders fee from the financing  company.

when I was buying my DD a TM for her 21 birthday, they had this offer out. After filling out all the paperwork, they then wanted my DH income included on the application and it was so much rigmaroll that I said forget it, and paid for it on my credit card. I don't understand how my income alone was not sufficient to approve for a $2000 machine and it really got up my jumper.

There are plenty of credit cards available now with low interest deals or interest free periods that it would be much more worthwhile shopping around for something like that. I know quite a few people who have opened a new credit card to fund a large purchase and then before the end of the first interest free period open another new credit card provider that gives you a further interest free purchase on balances transferred across. A bit of work but really worthwhile if you are making a significant purchase on credit and don't want to pay any interest. I've found in the past the fees associated with interest free deals are significant.

Where there is a want there is a way.

CP I would walk away as well. Very outdated.

What a lot of people don't know is that if you pay with a Mastercard you get an extra year's warranty.

I think it depends on the type of card ie gold platinum silver etc.
