How to purchase a Thermomix®?

Diamond Advisor

Hello from Ankita

If you’re new to my blog and website, then hello!

Hello! My name is Ankita Stopa and I am passionate about helping people cook more healthy and creative food. Life is busy enough and anything that can help us save time and money is something we all need in our lives using my trusted kitchen appliance, Thermomix.

I’m often asked who my customer avatar is for Thermomix. Love cooking? Hate cooking? Bored of repetitive menus? Someone with kids? Time poor? Allergies? Well, the answer is anyone who eats.

So do join me on my journey. I’m not just on socials. Get in touch if you’d like to see a demonstration either face-to-face or virtually, thinking of buying one for yourself or a gift, or even already have one but need some more inspiration. My team and I have planned, at least one virtual cooking class a month, for our network of clients so watch out for the next class soon. Additionally, we are looking for 2 new members to join us this month as Advisor, with options of the Owners program (if you already have one) or earn and demonstrate if you don’t have the current model.

Please contact me for more information.

Join the mixers..become a Thermomix Advisor

Would you like to join the mixers and become a Thermomix Advisor? Earn a free Thermomix? I’m recruiting enthusiastic people to join my team – there’s no cost in joining or business setup fees, just a deposit of £150 for your loan Thermomix.  If you’re an owner, Thermomix TM6 owner,  you can either earn a second TM6 for free or receive a commission from your first sale. I’ve been told that something huge is happening in September and October for us & you won’t want to regret not giving it a go!!

If you are looking for a new opportunity and have time to commit to a new business, are proactive and motivated to succeed, then it might be perfect for you. It’s also a lot of fun as you can see from the photos. We have a huge range of languages and nationalities within our branch, we have a great time and earn commission and other incentives too.

Just this year, I’ve attended a “Mission Possible” All-Advisor conference in Manchester, a high flyers trip to Siciliy, a Leadership Summit in London, and have been invited to the next Team Leader conference in Reading. Conferences and events are one of my favourite parts of this role and I wanted to share some highlights from the year.

Mission Possible, Manchester (January 2022)

  

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!

Highflyers Sciliy (May 2022)

  
Team Leader Summit, London (May 2022)

  

To find out more about becoming a Thermomix Advisor and earning a Thermomix for free, I hold regular Opportunity Meetings.  I’ll talk you through what being an Advisor entails and how much time you will need to be able to give your business.  You’ll learn about the Thermomix business, the role of advisors, the commitment required, and how you earn a commission.

Remember, we can give you a loan Thermomix where you have a 90-day trial period to qualify as an Advisor and earn your free Thermomix (you only need 4 sales to get your completely free). If you decide not to continue, your borrowed Thermomix is returned to Thermomix UK and you have no financial obligation. Or if you’re an owner, Thermomix TM6 owner,  you can either earn a second TM6 for free or receive a commission from your first sale.

I’m happy to have a chat as to whether this might be for you, just get in touch.  I’m always looking for new enthusiastic people to join my team and if you’re not in my area, I’ll arrange for another lovely team leader to look after you.

If you would like to learn more about how to join the mixers’ as a Thermomix Advisor, then here are my details. Yes, that’s me on the red carpet of Mission Possible. I felt more than a Bond Girl than Tom Cruise’s sidekick on the red carpet, but I’m not complaining. My team and I had a fabulous evening.

Keep cooking up a storm.

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.

Rewards and Recognitions

I am very proud to work for a company, that not only allows me to conduct this business around my family life and career but also gives rewards and recognitions, to their sales force on the ground.

We recently had our annual (virtual) conference and I was awarded the following accolades:

Consistency Award

The consistency award recognises one sale a month over a period of time. This award was launched 3-years ago, so I’ve been marked as someone who has been consistent for over 36-months.

As an Advisor and Team Leader, it’s one I strive for myself and also encourage my entire team to achieve.

Someone who is consistent always behaves in the same way has the same attitudes towards people or things or achieves the same level of success in something. One sale a month means that the business is viable and the time we take investing in our business activity reaps rewards.

As a Team Leader, I need to make 3 sales to keep my Team Leader status, but what I try and set my team is the aspirational goal of one sale as the first step each month to their business.

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

Tony Robbins

Diamond Team Leader

Diamond status was also launched 3-years ago, and I’m delighted to keep my diamond status this year.  Diamond status Advisors enjoy a higher income plan when they achieve 70+ sales in a calendar year from January-December.

When initially launched in September 2018 for the following year, I made my 70th sale on 31st December 2018, by the skin of my teeth. In 2019, I achieve 70 sales by October and last year by August.

I can see my own success mirrored by other Advisors in the UK as Thermomix awareness grows in the UK. In the first year, only 15 UK Advisors achieved diamond status. This went up to 85 the following year and 150 in 2020.

I have been in this business since 2009, when hardly anyone in the UK had heard of Thermomix and when there were so few Advisors on the ground, we were just known by our names. As the years have gone by, this hobby has turned into a passion into a viable business. I have seen 2 new Thermomix launched;  the Thermomix TM5 and TM6 and accessories such as the Thermomix Friend released. I have seen our company grow from a small, family-run subsidiary to being 100% owned subsidiary of Vorwerk with 16 branch offices and over 2,000 Advisors.

And yet, there’s more to come. Lots more for Thermomix and Vorwerk in the UK to strive for. We only have 1% awareness in the UK, so you can imagine even if we double, triple, quadruple over business over the next 3-5 years, there’s a whole load of customers still to reach.

Level 6 Achiever Award

And finally, I achieved the Level 6 Achiever Award for 500 sales and 20 recruits. This level was started way back in September 2014 when the Thermomix TM5 was launched, so that is 500 sales of both Thermomix TM5 and Thermomix TM6s, plus 20 qualified, new recruits to the business.

I’m most proud of this recruitment record. That means I have personally helped twenty people into this business, giving them the opportunity to earn their own Thermomix by enrolling in the earn and demonstrate program. Many of these Advisors have gone on to earn their Thermomix TM5 with 4 sales and then have a viable business; many went onto earn their Thermomix TM6s too when that was launched in 2019. It’s a true honour bringing new team members into the business and showing them that the sky is the limit. As self-employed Thermomix Advisors, we don’t have any minimum job criteria such as in a degree or minimum GCSE or A-Level requirements, 1-2 years of sales experience, or language pre-requisites. All we ask is that the person, male or female is aged over 18-years old and puts in time and effort into their Thermomix business. We provide the training and support and then the sky is the limit.

To end this post, with a final thank you. To you. My customers. My potential customers. My referrals. None of this would be possible with all of you amazing customers. Thank you.

You are the heart and soul of my business. Simply speaking, there would be no me without you. Your loyalty means everything to me. Thank you for being a customer!

Why it’s important to buy a Thermomix through an Advisor

Since the lockdown, one is able to purchase a Thermomix TM6 (not the customer offers) online via the Thermomix website. However, I do not recommend this. It is important to buy a Thermomix through an Advisor. This article gives you all the reasons why.

You as a customer pay the same price. You are financially the same whether you buy online or via an Advisor BUT the benefits buying via the Advisor network outweigh an online purchase.

Why buying through an Advisor is beneficial to you?

  1. We are historically and continue to be a direct sales channel. I’m sure we all remember well-established door-to-door companies like Avon or Amway. Well, Vorwerk is a direct sales company too and the third-largest in the world. A direct sales approach to marketing and distribution means that when you enquire about a Thermomix, attend a demonstration or buy a Thermomix by an Advisor, you are treated like a king (or queen). Thermomix Advisors are all self-employed and running our businesses to the best of our ability. Each enquiry means the world to us. It’s our name, our reputation, and long-term business at stake so we treat you with respect, honesty, and transparency. I believe customers appreciate that.
  2. Thermomix demonstrations and cooking experiences, which are normally face-to-face but currently virtual are not only important but essential.  Can you imagine walking into a store, looking at a Thermomix on display, and dropping £1000 down? No, you will walk away. A demonstration shows you the full functionality of the Thermomix and how it can be used in your kitchen. It’s personalised to make sure you get the most out of your Thermomix investment.
  3. Even if you are a previous Thermomix owner and know it already, there’s value in seeing a new demonstration. How many times have I heard the fact that one is a Thermomix owner, but only uses it once or twice? The value of being with an Advisor like me is that I regularly host virtual cooking experiences and with my team run cooking classes. Being attached to an Advisor means that you will have access to these events all the time, for the longevity of your ownership. So even if you have a Thermomix TM31 or TM5 and thinking about an upgrade, have a demonstration to understand the reasons why you should or shouldn’t be upgrading. I don’t believe in upselling at all. If you already have a Thermomix and it’s right for you to upgrade, I will tell you that. If it isn’t, I will also advise that.
  4. Thermomix Advisors understand the long-term benefits of owning a Thermomix. Most Thermomix Advisors are owners first and foremost, and then became Advisors or Consultants due to their love & passion for Thermomix and wanting to share it. We understand that most customers have excitement and a honeymoon period when first buying a gadget or appliance, but we also have experience of the long-term relationship with your Thermomix. We speak from experience when we tell you, you should never put your Thermomix away in a closet or cabinet. It should be on your counter-top so you will use it every day. Unlike most other appliances, once you use it daily, you will use it multiple times. The Thermomix is an appliance that usage increases over time.
  5. Post-purchase, your Thermomix Advisor is your first point of contact. This can include anything from helping you set up your Thermomix with a welcome visit, going through some new user hints & tips in a follow-up phone call, hosting a demonstration for your friends and family to ensure you get referral & host incentives. I am here to offer suggestions for your first recipes in a Thermomix to help you menu plan for the week.  I’ve also been called and left voice messages from clients asking if this ‘noise’ sounded normal, only to call them back and be told the recipe was delicious.

Summary

Thermomix Advisors are ready to help you, answer questions from you. You might contact us by phone, email, or  WhatsApp, via our social media accounts, or simply be referred to us via one of our clients.

Disclaimer

All Advisor are self-employed. We share with your our time, our experience, our expertise, and our passion for Thermomix. We are not employed on a salary. We only earn commissions when a customer purchases a Thermomix and acknowledges us as their Advisor.  So please, if you have a demonstration, in-person or virtually, then please go back to the Advisor to complete your purchase. If you don’t have an Advisor, then I would be more than happy to look after you.

Our biggest reward isn’t a financial one. It’s a happy Thermomix owner.

Lifetime Achievers Awards – Level 6

Enjoy a demonstration with Ankita Stopa, UK’s leading Diamond Advisor and Team Leader and now the first in the country to reach Level 6 of the Lifetime Achievers Award. 

I’m super proud to announce that I am the first Advisor in the UK to reach the newest level for the Lifetime Achievers Awards – Level 6.
