Celebrating consistency
Many companies have a quick start program to reward newcomers. But when a company also rewards its long-standing direct sellers, that’s a company worth staying for. Thank you Vorwerk UK for always going that extra mile, adding the cherry on the cake, so to speak.
Direct sales companies offer programs and incentives to help motivate you and keep you consistent in running your direct sales business. It is important for your success and momentum, especially at the beginning of your business, to set your sights on earning these incentives and programs.
Thermomix, like many other direct sales companies, offer programs within your first 90 days of starting (typically called Fast Start, Quick Start, Fast Track, and so on). The fast-track type program is a great way for you to earn additional products for your kit, gain items for your own personal use, and of course, establish good business habits and patterns. What you start with is what you are likely to continue with. So, if you get your business off to a healthy and successful start by pushing yourself in both sales and recruiting, you will most likely enjoy long-term success.
In our case, the TM4U program establishes our fast start with newcomers earning their Thermomix with just 4 sales in their 90-days. This is an amazing incentive as the first 4 sales, work out to be a free Thermomix worth £1149 and equated to an income of £287.25 per sale. Many who join the business, simply to earn their Thermomix, are delighted with their success so early on and stay in the business long term.
It’s important to familiarise yourself with the quick start program and the exact requirements and qualifications you need to hit to earn it. But when a company also rewards its long-standing direct sellers, that’s a company worth staying for.
I recently received a consistency award for 2019/2020. This is the second year the company has allocated this recognition award. Advisors and Team Leaders are recognized for making at least 1 sale every month over a 12-month period (September 2019-August 2020). Achievers received a beautiful gift set from The White Company; the Lime & Bay Luxury Gift set. In 2018/2019 there were just 50 winners UK wide, and in 2019/2020, this number doubled to 110.
A massive thanks to Vorwerk UK for the generous gift. I do get paid commissions for my monthly sales but these extra gifts are always greatly appreciated.
So it’s why I track my own sales on a YTD spreadsheet and those for my team. I want everyone to feel the joy and fulfillment of receiving some extra too. It’s like a cherry on the cake. I love what I do and get rewarded well for the sales I achieve, but gifts like this are special and make it even better.
