Title: Being a Consultant.
Post by: Woerd 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

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 :)

Post by: Woerd on September 21, 2010, 02:05:46 am: 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

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?
