Title: Completed all my training!
Post by: Thermo Jo (aka Jodi) on October 27, 2010, 11:48:53 pm
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to tell you all that I am now a fully fledged demonstrator! Woohoo, licensed to demonstrate. Could be dangerous.

Now all I have to do is actually do a demo!  :D

So excited and so nervous all at the same time.

So much to do, I don't know where to start.

If you know anyone interested in a demo or actually purchasing a TM. Please let me know.  I'm in the northern suburbs of Perth, no too far from HO.

Thanks everyone for all your encouragement over the past few weeks.  You all give so much support, we need to keep up the good work for all the newbies coming on board.

xoxo

Hi Jodi72, I'm new too but far away from you, on the other side of Aus in Sth Gippsland.  I 'graduated' last Thursday and have done two demos for family.  It's amazing how tongue tied you can get when trying to be 'professional' in front of the people who know and love you lol.   I burnt my thumb getting the bread out of the oven and practically minced my coleslaw but family were great and supportive.  You're so right.  Excitement and nervousness combine into such a thrill.  Love my TM.  Good luck to you.

Progress report.....

My delivery demo was tonight.... wait for it.... My first SALE!!!!!! and 2 bookings!!!! What a start! (My GL had a lot to do with it)  ;D

I'm floating up in the clouds somewhere.

A great day started with the Perth TM ladies get together and topped off with that.  Gonna be hard to beat but I'll start with the weekend free of any plans, I'm going to enjoy the time with my family.

 ;D ;D ;D

Congrats Jodi

Only about 3 hours til mine arrives. Still waiting to be contacted by someone regarding becoming a demonstartor. I really want to get into the next training session so I can get out there asap!!

Fantastic news about your sale and bookings. A nice little kick off for your business.

Keep us posted

Not long to go now Julz and you will be madly testing out recipes like the rest of us.  ;D

I'm making beef stew with buttermilk dumplings for dinner tonight out of the Budget Busters book.  It's a favourite here.

If you haven't heard anything over the weekend, I'd be giving head office a call first thing Monday morning. The last thing they would want is for you to lose your enthusiasm from being left hanging. They might be able to push things along for you. Good luck!

Have you got some ingredients to make cocktails for some celebrating tonight???? :D

Let us know how you got on with it.

xxoo

Congratulations Jodi, only seems like yesterday that you joined and you have already made your first sale.  Well done, sounds like you are loving it.
Title: Re: Completed all my training!
Post by: Thermo Jo (aka Jodi) on October 30, 2010, 12:45:41 pm
It's become a bit of an obsession Judy! I eat, sleep and breathe Thermomix!!! Is that a bad thing???? :P

I can't think of a meal to cook unless Thermie is involved somehow.  He has to get a workout at least once a day, even if it is just to make snacks for the kids lunches.

This is like a cult! I mean it in the most loving sense of course.  ;D

In the Thermomix world Jodi, you are perfectly normal.  In the outside world, they would be shaking their heads  :D :D

Post by: samcooks on October 30, 2010, 01:25:16 pm
Heh heh, I love how you call your TM a 'he'.  I have named mine 'Buddy' without really considering he might be a she.  Just cos' of its power.  My DIL is a new TM owner too and agreed that it just seems to be more like a male than a female...though the multi-tasking and flexibility are more female-like traits)  I love the names she's considering for her TM ...maybe Thermy or Sir Mix-A-Lot! :D
Title: Re: Completed all my training!
Post by: Thermo Jo (aka Jodi) on October 30, 2010, 01:41:48 pm
"Sir Mix-a-lot" -- Love it!!!
I just like the idea of a man doing all the hard work! ha ha ha   :D

Congratulations Jodi, that is exciting news. We all understand how you feel about your TMX. We're the same.
Title: Re: Completed all my training!
Post by: AmandaN on October 31, 2010, 03:02:34 am
Sir Mix-a-Lot had that song Baby got Back, about liking girls with big butts.  So that is a really funny name!

HI Jodi

I just signed up this morning as Nov training starts TOMORROW!!!! Had to find babysitters for my son for three whole days (they dont do training at night apparently) and I've never left him anywhere else but at home before. Wish me luck...and wish him luck!!

Hope your first demos are booked in and you are fired up to power through them :)

I'm sure you will be more worried than he is JuJu. Enjoy your training.

I've got everything crossed for you!!!

I was really lucky! My GL did our training at night at her home.  There was 4 of us! It's impossible for working people to get to day time training.  Apparently they are going to consider it in the new year but that's no consolation for us now.

Good luck! but you wont need it.

I am so excited to become a demonstrator...I have a couple of friends lined up waiting for me to get qualified before they have demos which is very kind of them.
I have filled in the form and am waiting to hear back from HQ Perth. I would love to be up and running before Christmas but don't know if there will be any more training sessions between now and then. I guess I will find out soon!

Congrats and good luck to all you new consultants.

I'd love to be a consultant. Maybe one day when we're able to get away from here.... :-))
