Advisor incentives

How does a free cutter sound?

How does a free Cutter sound? Pretty amazing, right? All you have to do is hop on board our team and make just one sale by 20th May, and voila – that Cutter is yours, absolutely free! And let me tell you, joining our Thermomix family comes with some seriously sweet perks – from snagging a FREE TM6 to enjoying a complimentary Cookidoo subscription, not to mention all the fun incentives like commission, trips, prizes, and more!


I’m just back from Stockholm where Thermomix East London was celebrated in the top 10 branches worldwide for our recruiting, onboarding, and activating newcomers. That means we were successful in making sure that our newcomers qualified and made their sales. How? Well, we’re some of the most knowledgeable and experienced Team Leaders worldwide. If you’re not local, you’d still benefit from my support, so it’s still a win.

We’ve got training sessions lined up every Wednesday, so whether you’re a seasoned Thermomix aficionado or thinking about joining the gang, now’s the perfect time to get involved. The next sessions are:

  • Wed 17th April 2024
  • Wed 24th April 2024
  • Wed 1st May 2043
  • Wed 8th May 2024
  • Wed 15th May 2024

You only need to train one day. So pop those dates in your diary and let’s make some kitchen magic together! If you’re ready to dive in or just fancy a chat about all things Thermomix, drop me a message – I’d love to hear from you!

I want to offer this option of joining our team, earning some additional income, and enjoying the joy of sharing Thermomix with everyone. As you see it’s very easy for newcomers to qualify when you have the right training and ongoing support.

We train every week in the UK, and even if you are not in my area, as your recruiting Advisor, you will benefit from me supporting you throughout your newcomer journey. That explains the ‘ROAR’ and the lion theme last month. We use the acronyms Recruit, Onboard, Activate, and Retain, which essentially we are here to support you on your Thermomix  Advisor journey.

I have always worked part-time in lecturing while running my Thermomix business and looking after my children, and enjoy the freedom and flexibility of my portfolio career.  So why not give it a go? Use the 3-month smart period as a trial, you never know if you could earn for free, or a huge discount on your Thermomix.

Advisor testimonial

Thermomix Advisor Testimonial: Cheryl Carman

I sometimes ask my team to write a Thermomix Advisor Testimonial of what it’s like being an Advisor on my team. Usually, they are short, but Cheryl wrote this. It was too good not to share in its entirety.

Thanks to Cheryl Carman for such an honest review.

My TM Advisor Testimonial

I can hardly believe it’s just over a year since I finished my training and was let loose on friends and family, a new TM5 by my side. And what a year it’s been!

I sold my first Thermomix on the first day of my 90-days program to my brother-in-law, a total skeptic who was completely won over once he took part in the demo. I can scarcely remember experiencing such an adrenaline rush as in that first demo and my absolute amazement and delight when my brother-in-law bought one.

Since then, there have been some high highs and some low lows. Don’t be fooled into thinking the role is a walk in the park. If you love Thermomix, you’ll probably think it sells itself. I wish!

It actually requires a lot of hard work. As well as constantly having to generate new demos, doing the demos, welcome visits, new user and wish list visits, there are weekly team meetings to attend, Open Days with any of your new recruits, admin tasks and, very importantly, maintaining contact with all your customers to keep them up-to-date with TM developments and happy.

In my experience, every demo is different- and that is one of the things that, while challenging, I have to say, I love.

To me, as a retired teacher who always worked in London state secondary schools, the demo is a cross between a lesson (and not always an easy one), playing a part on stage (I have done that too, in another life) and a sometimes slightly out-of-control party. Some are more one thing than the other, but everyone I’ve demonstrated to over the year, apart from 2 people, has been absolutely wowed by the TM5. And that feels brilliant every time.

Why don’t they all purchase, then? Well, that’s another story. You’ll learn more if you train and as you become more experienced, but it can be very frustrating, especially at first.

One of the great things though has been all of the new people I’ve got to know. First off, the really lovely other advisors you meet as part of your team and in others. There is always someone to offer you help or at least a listening ear.

I am a reluctant cook, to say the least, and there are a few like me who become advisors, who cook because they have to, but many more who LOVE cooking and are extremely accomplished.  We, of course, have mutual respect and I’ve learned a lot along the way. It perfectly illustrates that wherever you stand in relation to cooking, TM5 can be an absolute joy to own. I can never love mine enough!

Then, there are all the people you demonstrate to. Every advisor has their story. Mine includes an absolutely joyous occasion with a group of Madeiran and Portuguese people. No one has bought yet from that demo, but what a fantastically warm and enlivening three hours I spent with them.

Another extraordinary experience for me was showing the Thermomix to a group of elderly people in sheltered housing. I would not easily have come into contact with them, certainly not for a 2-and-a-half-hour cooking demo.

Some fell asleep, most couldn’t read the small print in the Guest Questionaire and hardly anyone had the appetite for the food we cooked. But guess what? One lady, full of joix de vivre but with early-stage Alzheimer’s, bought a Thermomix there and then because she could see how it might help her retain some independence in the kitchen while being wheelchair-bound. I was absolutely thrilled.

What else can I tell you?  I’m by no means the most successful advisor in terms of sales and my commission is certainly not going to buy me another London home- or even garage space. But that’s fine. I have a little pot of money after a year which is gradually accruing and, while my friends who’ve seen my demonstrations tell me I’m “to the Manor born” as an advisor, there is no doubt that, at times, the role has also taken me quite a long way out of my comfort zone.

Finally, my advice would be this. Once you’ve seen a demo, sign up for an Open Day. Go, find out more, and ask lots of questions. Consider doing what I did by attending a TM cooking class so that you can talk to other advisors. I think you’ll know if you want to give it a go, if not now, then perhaps in the future. If you do decide to take the plunge, I wish you very good luck.

You may well become an advisor who flies and, with the proceeds from your Thermomix business, starts to save for that outlandishly expensive London home- or whatever else it is that floats your boat.  Alternatively, you may just be like me, still quietly in the game. Either way, it could be you in a year or so’s time, reflecting on your unique experiences as a Thermomix advisor and writing your own testimonial for your team leader’s website.

Note: After 8 years as an Advisor Cheryl recently stepped down as an Advisor in May 2023. But in her time, she has earned the Thermomix TM5, Thermomix TM6, and a Thermomix Noir Thermomix TM6, Thermomix Friend, as well as countless second bowls, accessories and incentives PLUS commission. But for me, as her Team leader, it is not the commission or the incentives that I recall the most, it’s the friendship we have developed. Cheryl was an intergral part of my team for many years and I loved meeting and catching up with her over a coffee and a cake.

 

Advisor Incentives

What can I earn as an Advisor: Incentives

The beauty of a Thermomix Advisor, in addition to commissions, is the wonderful incentives we also earn.

I share this not to gloat but to share the business opportunity with people. When you have committed Advisors, who put in the work, time, and dedication to demonstrations, closing sales, recruiting new people to the business and more importantly looking after your customer base, you are not only rewarded by closing sales in this direct sales business but also by added extras.

Often the incentives are accessories or Cookbooks pre-launch, so Advisors have a chance to earn them, use them before we are asked for our honest consumer reviews, so just that in itself is a huge bonus to the Advisor role. Recall the Thermomix Cutter? Thermomix Advisors in the UK had the opportunity to earn this with sales and/ or recruitment drive many, many months before it was launched to customers. What’s more, we have several chances to earn one. You can’t ask for more than that from a company.

Below are some of the examples in a 3-month period of our sales and recruitment incentives this year:

January 2023 

Qualifying period 1st January -28th February, 20 Advisors, and 40 Team Leaders were in with a chance for an all-expenses, 4-day trip to Mykonos in May 2023.

Qualifying period 21st-31st January, one sale earned the multi-purpose bowls. This was the first chance these multi-purpose bowls were introduced to the market before they were released as a customer purchase incentive in July later this year. 

Qualifying period 21st-31st January achieved AND 1st-7th February a second sale earned the trolley bag. We are   given a travel bag as our Advisor business pack. But having one on wheels, is especially handy for those in London or who take public transport when going to demonstrations.

February 2023

Mykonos’ qualifying period continued, so for ‘big’ travel incentives like this, we have a longer period to qualify.

Qualifying period 1st -28th February,

  • 1 sale earned the newest Cookbook, Free From, and nut milk bags, worth £35
  • 2 sales earned £100 e-voucher to use in our Advisor Portal, £100
  • 3 Sales also earned the VC100 Kobold Handheld Vacuum Cleaner worth £130

Reminder, that this is in addition to commission on sales. So for 3 sales which equates to £515 in commission, you also can earn an extra £265 in Advisor incentives.

March 2023 

Fast Start Qualifying period 1-3rd March, the Advisor or Team Leader with the highest number of Personal Sales will earn a Thermomix Samonsite Backpack.

The head office often do this and it’s a great way to have a great month starting off quick and fast off the starting block. It also means its about being the quickest off the start line. This is open to everyone in the branch whether they have just joined or been in the business for a while and I really love the inclusivity of it.

Qualifying period 1-31st March, we had a number of Advisor incentives.

  • For 2 sales OR 1 sale + 1 Qualified Recruit, we could a Thermomix Tool Kit
  • For 3 sales OR 2 sales + 1 Qualified Recruit, we could earn a Thermomix Cutter AND a Thermomix Cleaning Brush
  • For 4 sales or 3 sales + 1 Qualified Recruit, we could earn a Thermomix Mixing Bowl

 

 

 

As you can see there is a lot on offer.

A sales incentive plan is a way to motivate and reward salespeople for reaching and exceeding their sales goals. It’s used in addition to a standard compensation plan. It’s part of the business I love. I love to earn ‘extras’ whether that is a branded pen or baseball cap to the big ticket items like a trip. It drives me to push myself that one step further and see the results. It’s there, you know what you can earn, the goal given to you at the beginning of the month, now you just have to plan how to achieve it. 

Advisor incentive programs  also make sellers feel valued. Direct sellers who feel valued are encouraged to keep up a high level of performance. If incentives are offered in the spirit of recognizing a job well done, they go a long way toward improving a worker’s sense of fulfillment, loyalty and retention.   I have team member who once said to me, “Ankita, I’m only joining to earn my new Thermomix TM6”. She was upgrading from a Thermomix TM31. But as soon as she did, another incentive came her way to earn a Thermomix Friend, then a diary and a new Cookbook etc. Three-years later she is still happily demonstrating. 
Never underestimate your own ability to do more. We all have one more sale in us to reach the next commission and incentive level. 
We are actively recruiting new Advisors all over the UK. Do get in touch if you are looking to join the business. You will join my team if you are in the East London area, but if you are elsewhere, I’ll put you in touch with a local Team Leader to look after you.

These events are a wonderful opportunity to network with other Advisors & Team Leaders from around the country, but also, more importantly for me as a working mother, to have some respite. Work trip away from my husband, kids, cats, cooking and housework…yes, please!

Why being a Thermomix Advisor is great

Every year, I ask my team to write, their ‘whys’. Why are they in the business and why do they continue to demonstrate? We are all self-employed in our roles as Thermomix Advisors (even me), so it’s truly important to understand each individual’s goals and dreams, and their reflections ‘why’ they are in the business. There’s a reason why even after 13-years I still am in the business and have a mature team of Advisors who stay in the business. The love for Thermomix is obvious a key element, but the team spirit amongst us is a reason to stay.

For many of my team, we were owners first and foremost, or they join the Earn and Demonstrate program and vowed to leave as soon as they have earned their Thermomixes. But then they stay. Initially, saying to themselves it’s just for a one or two, to earn the next incentive or simply for that extra pocket money it provides. They enjoy the comradery of being in our team, the regular branch meetings, and team meetings which bring them a sense of belonging.

Everyone’s journey is different and beautiful, which makes us a diverse team with different goals.

For anyone considering the role of a Thermomix Advisor, here’s a great testimonial of why one of my Advisors is still in the business after joining us in January 2015.

It helps me stay really engaged with my Thermomix, keeping up to date with everything new and not getting stuck in a rut.

I still love meeting new people and for the most part, witnessing first-hand their enthusiasm for their TMs.

I learn new things. According to my nephew (13), I’m an adventurous cook. And the pizza he had here was the best he’d ever had. Can you get a higher accolade?!

Over the years, I’ve earned some lovely things, almost by accident. My favorites are the Le Creuset cookware and Rockstar Ben, the baking mat,  extra TM bowls (of course), the hand-held Kobold, and now The Friend.

It’s wonderful to have a bit of extra money going into a designated account-again, almost by accident. I’ve bought myself a MacBook Air, paid for a holiday to Cyprus-just for me, paid for a trip to Morrocco with friends, and bought a new dining room table-supposed to have arrived for Xmas but probably stuck in a lorry somewhere. Ah well…

There is nothing quite like the buzz of closing a sale but more importantly knowing the TM really is a great appliance and can help people in so many ways.

It’s also a great pleasure to have these little incidental chats with people that come out of the blue. Recently, my Polish Tesco shop delivery man spotted my TMs through the window and asked me how I was getting on with them…Of course he, his mum, and sister both have one and have had for years.

I’ve said before and I still think it’s true, 3 of the things I enjoy in my life are performing on stage, having fun at a party, and teaching someone something new.  Being an advisor…Bingo!!

There are many advantages of being an Advisor from the ability to get a discount on your Thermomix, or earning it for free, by being part of a team, learning more about different cultures and cuisines, diets, and ways of life, earning commissions and Advisor incentives and exclusives from accessories to trips abroad. I have had so many wonderful experiences, rewards, and recognitions during my time as an Advisor that I cannot rate it enough.

Have you considered becoming a Thermomix Advisor? If so, please contact me at Ankita@onegirlandherthermie.co.uk or call/ text/ WhatsApp me on 07977 563537. I hold Thermomix Advisor Opportunity meetings every week, or we can catch up on the phone or go for a coffee for a chat. I’d love to hear from you.

A Taste of Lisbon

I was super pleased to be one of the top 40 achievers on our Departures Board heading to Lisbon for a fun-filled foodie weekend in October 2019. Whisked off to the City of Seven Hills, experiencing amazing cuisine and staying at the luxurious Pestana Palace Hotel. Totally a trip to remember!

A warm welcome to Lisbon

Thermomix TM5

Well after giving us an afternoon of relaxation with our Afternoon Tea; to catch up with friends we’ve made during our time as  Advisors, it was time for a quick change for our gala dinner.

I looked up the definition of gala dinner.

Gala Dinner events can be held to celebrate, reward or engage an audience with a brand or service. The evening event will generally feature a three or four-course meal where guests are seated.Many corporate Gala dinners are often staged in inner-city venues for easy access for guests.

Gala dinner table setting

Mingling with my fellow Team Leader, Natarsha Lambie

So with that, I should have been given a clue that it was a gala dinner that there was to be a surprise but I wasn’t expecting James Martin and the launch of the Thermomix TM5.

As Advisors, we are always asked when the next Thermomix is coming out. Historically, the time period between new models is 10-15 years and the Thermomix TM31 was only released in 2004, so we were on the lower side of that timeline. As an owner first and foremost, I didn’t think that Thermomix could get any better. But woah, was I surprised.

Presentation

(Presenters left to right: Felicity Raines, Executive Head Chef, Suzanne Crafer, Branch Manager James Martin and Janie Turner)

The new Thermomix was a revolution. It had a new design, it had gone digital and it was presented by James Martin, Chef, and presenter of Saturday Kitchen. I’m not sure what was more exciting. The Thermomix or James.
