Well my demo is ment to be on sat and now I don't know of anyone who said they would is actually coming :(?
I had to cancel a demo a few months ago because of the same thing?
I really want the demo because I want to order within a few weeks (If I don't order at demo) but really want to see it and have hubby see it in action first ( I've only seen it in action on YouTube, never in person)
I'm going to call the consultant a bit later today (to early right now) and speak to her,
Do you think she will still come and do it for me?
-
Emma, that a shame, i have had 3 demos and all have been 6 or more people.
What about a famiky member or a neighbour. Tell them its free food, buy a bottle of wine and make it a social event.
Hope you still get your demo.
Hally :)

Dear Emma, Don't be too anxious, as you can still have a demo as long as there are three households represented at it, but bear in mind the costs your demonstrator is bearing - petrol and food ingredients which he/she has probably already bought at this stage. It would be an awful shame to cancel the demo but I think the important thing is to share your hopes and worries with your consultant.
-
I was relying on my dad and his wife to come but now dads not sure they will come (if weather is good they need to keep going with building their house) IL's and my mum are to far away to come :(
We are new to the area( only been here 8 weeks) so don't know anyone really, I've even tried putting it on Facebook and no one has wanted to come! Im pretty :(
That the issue Cecelia , at the moment it's just me and hubby , and the other two households are a big maybe! I don't want to have to cancel
-
I'm sure she'll sell one to you, but you'll need to have a demo if you want the host rewards. I checked my consultant's email, and this month you get not only the thermoserver, but also My Way of Cooking, which is worth $60, and most of us think it's a pretty good cookbook.
It honestly shouldn't be too difficult to get 3 people to go to your demo, surely. I've had a few demos and have never had that problem - if anything, I hsve too many people wanting to come along, but I stick to the 3 so everyone can have a good look and I don't have to do too much. So many people I know want to see it.
-
maybe ask your neighbours?
-
It is hard because we moved an hour away from anyone we know (except my dad) :( and I know an hour isn't far but for them it is! :(
I'm trying to scrape together the people :(
Who would of thought it would be so hard!
We don't know any of our neighbours.
-
Well get to know the neighbours invite them over forca glass ofvwine and a meal andva demo.
Whst about mums from school.
Hally :)

Were in our early 20's, and not the sort of peope to go meet the neighbors lol they are all older. Our daughter isn't in school yet and we haven't met any daycare mums, she only just started here!
I'm going through people at the moment to invite/chase up , hopefully a few will come!
Thankyou for the ideas
-
Ok daycare staff, work friends, gym friends,
I am done, sorry cant hink of any others
Hally who hopes it gies ahead
:)
-
I now think I have 1 person coming and she's gonna ask some friends!
Fingers crossed!!
-
Great news Emma - hope her friends are reliable.
-
:) Emma, why not just ask the neighbors too,
a great way to get to know them.
1 person is a great start.

Great that yiu get the demo

I absolutely get where you're coming from Emma.. and it's good to read that you've now got a friend coming along.
I had the exact same thing happen to me - not once, but three times. Some people just don't want to come because they think they're going to put in a difficult position of having to buy.
From the other side of the coin - I am now a consultant and 2 days ago a lady emailed me to say she had to cancel Saturday's demo (for the 2nd time) due to people cancelling.
I know she wants to see the TMX & it's hard for both her husband & her to get to classes.
I've offered to do a very brief demo with her & her husband on Saturday, just for an hour or so. I'm just going to make a Fruity Dream and a Pumpkin Soup, so they get an idea of what the TMX can do. She will be providing the main ingredients & she knows there's no host rewards, but is quite grateful that I'm still taking the time to show her.
Maybe, if your full demo doesn't go ahead, your consultant (if she doesn't live too far away), might be able to do something similar. You provide all the ingredients and s/he just does a very basic demo.
Good luck,
Karen

Where abouts are you salval, maybe there some forum members who would be happy to go along!
-
Oh I hope that you get some people along and have a great demo. It is hard. When I had my last demo I had some cancellations at the last minute but fortunately I still had 3 households come along. I only had the demo to help my sister who needed practice when she first became a consultant.
-
salval thats really nice of you to do that for her!
i didnt end up calling the lady as i now have the numbers YAY they have said they are coming for sure, so fingers crossed!! im going to be so upset and annoyed (for the consultant mainly) if they dont rock up!
-
oops sorry forgot to add, how long does a demo go for?
-
Should go for around 2 hours Emma. Glad you got your numbers. Hope you have a great demo/
-
Hope that all goes really well for you Emma :) :)
-
Great news :D
2 hours ???
We have about 3 hours, but we drink & chat a lot :)
H :)
-
Same here hally 3 hours+. lots of chats and vino ;D
-
My demos usually go for 2 - 2.5 hrs ... My one last night though went on for nearly 3.5!! They didn't stop chatting & exclaiming about the TMX & asking questions & getting totally off track :D .. None of them had seen it before, but they were all "experts" by the end of the night & each guest telling the other reasons why they absolutely needed it! Hilarious. They were blown away. I love demos like that!!
I'm off to my "personalised" demo in 30 mins! .. (Wonder, I'm in Newport in Melbourne.. Not sure I could rustle up anyone with such short notice though ;D )
Emma, that is terrific that you've got your guests coming!! Good for you x

-
well i loved the demo, hubby was impressed
ours went for around 2.5hours
so much food in so little time, you would never even bother to try make that much stuff in that time without the thermomix!
now to deicde how to buy, hubby wants me to become a consultant but with a 3/5yo daughter and one on the way (in 25weeks preg) i dont think its a option at this stage would only be able to do it for a few months before having to have time off for bubs and then no idea when id be able to start doing them again... no baby sitter.
so i think i will do the 3 payment option, now to talk hubby into letting me order now not wait 2 weeks lol!
-
Emma it sounds like you had a great demo. I'm really glad you got the numbers you needed. Now to get your Thermomix of your own. Bet you can't wait.
-
gee I think it is very frustrating when people pull the pin on friends at the last moment. I think it would be much better to be upfront and say a) you will come along but you will not be buying or b) you have to wash your hair that night
-
What super news that the demo was a success Emma.Have fun cooking when your TM arrives,your kids are in for wonderful treats ;)
-
That's great Emma! I hope he agrees to ordering straight away!! :)
