I was hoping some of the consultants out there could give me some advice. I love my TM, I love what it does and I also love the healthy food options it provides. So much so that I was thinking I could easily sell this. I've had the TM for a month and I'm catching up with someone today to speak about opportunities to become a consultant. I'm a bit hesitant because I don't have much time. I work part time (3 days) and volunteer for 2 organisations ( at least 1 evening, 2 mornings and 1 week-end/month). That, being with my family and finding time for friends, doesn't leave me much time and I understand from preliminary discussions that I need to sell a machine a month. I don't see the selling as part of the problem, just the time it takes to sell one. My preliminary observations of my excellent consultant is that you need
3 hours - initial demo
3 hours - home delivery demo
3 hours - varoma demo
How much extra time does it take to prepare for a demo, the paperwork and to follow with your clients. If I'm going to do this I want to do a good job and provide a service for people, not just sell them a machine and have no follow up or sales support.
Any insights you could provide are appreciated.
