My team are a great bunch of people who share my passion for the Thermomix and are committed to helping each other achieve their goals.
Many of my team are working, some full-time, many part-time and the Advisor role is flexible for those who either love cooking, hate cooking, want to meet more people and earn some extra cash.
Don’t take my word for it, read it for yourself.
Let’s start at the unusual bit: I don’t like cooking. So why on earth would I be a Thermomix advisor? And why would I still be doing it after 5 years?
Well first, like all advisors, I’m completely in love with my Thermomix and, like all people in love, I want to share the news. The TM makes my day-to-day life so much easier that it just feels plain wrong that not everybody has one.
Before I became an advisor, I had no sales experience at all and was at best an ok family cook who always had to follow a recipe. Now I’ve not only gained confidence in new skills but have found the easiest of ways to keep engaged with my TM and keep on learning. Let’s face it, every love affair can grow a bit cold and this for me has been a big reason why I still advise.
Getting positive reactions in a demonstration is nothing short of a natural high: the vast majority of customers love what you do for them and make you feel very special. The cherry on the cake is a sale of course but it’s almost a by-product of the fun which I think is at the heart of what we do.
As part of Ankita’s team, you get advice and really focussed help at every step of the way, whoever you are and whatever your level of experience and skill.
Ankita is amazingly knowledgeable, always on top of all things Thermie and genuinely looks after her team members 24 hours a day. You’ll always feel supported and valued not just by Ankita but by the whole team and our branch.
Thermomix people are lovely people; in Ankita’s team you’ll honestly be among the best.
Nearly a year ago I was lucky enough to receive a Thermomix TM5 as a gift and I am not exaggerating when I say it changed everything! As a busy working mum of a toddler, who only likes to feed her family food cooked from scratch, I had discovered the ultimate piece of kit.
A year on and I had inadvertently ‘sold’ the idea to many of my friends and family – by cooking food for them and raving about what a game changer this piece of kit has been. So when I discovered that I could become an independent advisor and host demonstrations/cookery classes for people who wanted to learn more about the Thermomix, I couldn’t have signed up faster if I tried! I really enjoy being part of Ankita’s team. We all share a passion for food and enjoy bouncing ideas around. Ankita is supportive and inspiring as a team leader and I’m so happy to have her leading me through this journey.
Sydney, Australia. I was turning 30 and my mother-in-law was asking for a gift idea. I hadn’t even been to a demo or really seen one in action but a Thermomix’s reputation proceeds it wherever in the world you find yourself! Now seven years later, back living in London with growing mouths to feed, my Thermomix has become my extra 10 pair of hands that I need to ensure a delicious, nutritious and stress-free meal gets put on the table each day.
Whilst my TM31 was great, the TM6 has taken my love affair onto a whole new level! I couldn’t justify upgrading when my old one still did the job perfectly well but I just couldn’t stop thinking about this fully integrated, wifi connected model that required even less input from me on the one hand (through the guided cooking option) yet could also perform more complex techniques such as fermentation and sugar stages. I had to have it! Joining the TM4U programme under Ankita’s guidance was a wonderful opportunity to use my time rather than my money to pay for the upgrade.
Ankita’s wealth of experience, enthusiasm and dedicated work ethos ensured that I sold the required four in my first two months of becoming an advisor. So if I can do it at a time when the whole country is in lock-down and as I juggle home-schooling plus toddler entertaining then so can you! What are you waiting for? Take the plunge, Ankita’s got your back and will ensure your pathway leads to success.
Ankita is a motivated, forward thinking and intelligent Team Leader who has lots of knowledge & expertise. When you get to connect with her, you’ll find an incredible person with exceptional skills. Ankita is organised and customer service oriented perfectionist, has no problem to work hard when necessary. Working at Thermomix is challenging but with her help, you can jump the obstacles. She cares about the success of each and every individual in her team. It’s a credit to her that we all have such successful Thermomix businesses.
I am originally from Italy and I can honestly say that I grew up with a Thermomix. My mum bought her Bimby (that’s what is called in Italy and Portugal) in 1992 and that was the first one I ever used. It still works just fine by the way. Becoming an Advisor felt very natural when I started looking for a new activity to do alongside my full time job. My passion for cooking and my love for the Thermomix were the reasons I chose to follow this career path. Of course, the idea of running my own business sounded quite scary at first, and I wasn’t really sure where to start from. I decided to look for someone who shared my passion and had experience in what for me was an unknown area. I was extremely lucky to meet Ankita, my team leader. She saw the potential in me and she was very happy to offer me a place in her team as well as constant guidance and support. It didn’t take me too long to feel welcome by all team members. In fact, very soon after I joined the team, I felt as I always belonged there. We are a very successful team and this is because we always share ideas between us and help each other. Our team meetings are relaxed gatherings during which we discuss important matters over a cup of coffee. What I love the most about being an Advisor, is that I get to meet new people and introduce them to the magic world of Thermomix. I also really enjoy keeping in touch with all my customers and I am always very happy to receive their updates and pictures of their beautiful creations. Ankita is a great source of knowledge and her expertise is like no other. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better team and a better team leader. And if I can manage being an Advisor while working full time, I am sure so can anyone else.
I bought my Thermomix after seeing a Spanish friend cook a wonderful meal in no time at all. That was about five years ago. Having children with eczema, the Thermomix has made cooking so easy as I know exactly what goes in and I cook healthy tasty meals I never thought possible. I decided to become an Advisor after attending an Open Day (in Ankita’s home, I did the training and joined her team this April [2015]. Ankita’s motivation and enthusiasm comes right through and I have learnt a great deal, sharing with other Advisors recipes and tips on how to make the most of the Thermomix. Demonstrating is great fun, you meet lovely people and can share your passion for healthy eating. I am lucky that I have been able to join this great Thermomix team.
I first got a TM31 as a birthday present about 18 months ago, so as much as I wanted the TM5 when I saw it, I thought it was ridiculous to get a second….until I realised that I could earn it by selling just 4! I trained with Ankita over 3 Thursdays and they were all actually really fun days. I lined my first demos up for the Thursday evening following the final training and the following morning. I thought if I don’t dive straight in, this won’t happen – so within 24 hours I had sold 4 and earned my machine. A month on I have sold 12! I still find each demo is a learning curve for me too with new challenges but Ankita has been great, giving me invaluable advice when I’ve asked for it. It is great to know you are part of a collegiate team where there is plenty of support from your team at weekly meetings. I really enjoy demonstrating and seeing the guests amazement at various points in the demo as well as leaving them to a fabulous lunch afterwards!
I’ve just taken delivery of a new Thermomix today – on behalf of a client who couldn’t take delivery themselves at work. I realised that I’m just as excited as seeing this Thermomix come through the front door as I was when my own arrived over 6 months ago now.
I trained as an Independent Advisor for Thermomix as part of Ankita’s team in July 2014 on the earn and demonstrate programme. It’s been a whirlwind of activity. As well as learning new skills (food hygiene and health and safety certificates), it’s been amazing to use a Thermomix on a daily basis, take part in Cooking Classes and generally learn about peoples eating habits, food culture and even their special dietary requirements.
It’s a pleasure to be able to show people how to use such a fabulous piece of equipment and watch their faces as they start to understand what Thermomix will do and how it will contribute to their quality of life. There’s a real sense of achievement leaving a demonstration knowing that your audience has had a great time and that they have restaurant quality food to eat for their lunch or supper.
Ankita has built a team of committed individuals who all bring with them a wealth of experience. As well as running our own businesses, we are constantly sharing recipes, trying new things out and of course sharing tips and tricks. Although we attend regular team meetings, we seldom work together as such. But we are a great team and work together well when called on for Cookery Classes. This is surely down to Ankita’s expert training, guidance and personal enthusiasm for a product that we are all, as both advisors and home cooks, fanatical about.
I started my training to be an Independent Thermomix Advisor in April 2014. It’s been a fulfilling 5 months with highs and lows. Ankita has been an inspirational Team Leader, I’ve learned so much in this short time mainly drawing from her confidence and ability to captivate whoever she addresses. Having a team leader with so much passion and drive makes a huge difference in realising your own potential. She provides the support you require to succeed, always available for a chat and assistance when needed. The earn and demonstrate programme has been very beneficial in that I could start my own business with very little investment. Your initial success depends on how much effort you put into your 90 day programme, it thereafter is easier and so much fun. I am thoroughly enjoying my Thermomix Journey!
When I first found out I was pregnant my {Spanish} mum wanted to gift me a Thermomix because all her friends have one. They all gave rave reviews about Thermomix – how much time they were saving and how easy was to cook with it. So my mother decided that it will be a great help for me. At first, I thought I did not need it and it was so expensive luxury. She persisted, so I decided to see a demonstration. An Advisor came to my home and I was so impressed by the demonstration and how they explained all the functions, that I couldn’t wait until my mum bought it for me; I I purchased it myself especially as uptil that point, I had no idea of cooking.
The first time I realised Thermomix was a great purchase was at 2 am when I had just finished to breastfeeding my daughter and I was in the mood to eat a wrap. But I didn’t have any tortillas at home and and it was too late to run to a shop. I stopped and remembered, I had Thermomix. A quick internet search of recipes and within no time, I was sitting down to a wonderful homemade wrap. This encouraged me to start cooking more and more. I started talking about Thermomix to all my friends and family. They wanted to know how I was be able to make so many wonderful dishes without any knowledge of cooking. That’s why I became an Advisor {in May 2013} in Ankita’s team because I thought the Thermomix was the best item in my household and I wanted to share it with the world. I could not believe how people could not live without a Thermomix, it is the best invention ever. I compare owning a Thermomix with the owning washing machine, for me it was like having no washing machine and wash your clothes with your hands.
Two years on, I am now stepping up to the Team Builder role. I love Thermomix and love Advising. The role helps me meet new people, improving their lives and we have fun. It is also the main source of income for my daughter and myself and I also get excellent rewards. That why I keeping doing it. I love my Thermomix.
I love being a Thermomix Advisor. It is funny, you can meet amazing people and you learn from the team. But, the best of all is when your customers and friends thank you with phrases like these:
“You changed my life with Thermomix”,
“Since I bought my TM5, I have more time to spend with my family”
“A month ago I couldn’t cook an egg, yesterday I did Cheese Soufflé for dinner”
“Finally, I can eat super tasty dinners at home”
My sister introduced me to Thermomix in Mexico, so when I came back to London I decided to buy one and become an Advisor. The experience and good organisation of Ankita, my team leader, has been crucial. She’s always has plenty of ideas for growing your business and supporting you.
As Thermomix in the UK grows, many new teams are being formed and some members that I have recruited, trained and mentored for a number of months (years), migrate to new teams closer to their homes. It’s always sad when people leave my team but what I love most is having met these wonderful individuals and making friends; friendships that have been made go above and beyond the constraints of our working life.
I was a successful demonstrator in Portugal and then moved to UK a couple of years ago. Demonstrating in London is harder as the Thermomix (Bimby) is not as well known here than in Europe, but we are slowly getting there. People here are much less likely to host demonstrations or invite friends but we are trying. Ankita helped me with the transition and is very kind, patient and understanding. I work part-time so she often meets me for coffee outside of team meetings or does webinars (FaceTime) in the evenings, so I still feel very much knowledgable with the company information and updates of the team. For those who do work, we have a team Facebook page and WhatsApp groups, so there is always an opportunity to interact with Ankita and other members of the team. I have not only found the role of Thermomix helped me earn and income, but also helped me make friends.
Ankita proved to be a brilliant person to work with. I’ve really enjoyed being a Thermomix Advisor on her team. As a Team Leader, she is organised, practical, motivating, experienced and supportive. Her performance at Thermomix is golden. She is one of the top selling Advisors in the UK and in the top 1% in the country, given her diamond status. This leadership role gives us all a great role model to strive for. Give her the really challenging tasks, the ones that everyone else is struggling with, and she will get them done. The success achieved in her role requires extensive knowledge and dedication. She definitely shines in this direct sales environment as an individual but most importantly, shares all her knowledge and expertise with the team to make us better. Couldn’t ask for a better Team Leader.
I started my Advisor journey very unsure and with lack of confidence I would be able to sell any. I’m not a sales person and not good at making conversations. Thermomix it’s a great product and it sells itself it’s true. But you do have to put some effort and love into it. Demonstrations is what you have to go for! Lots of them, as much as you can get starting with your circle of friends and family. I am one of the lucky advisors that was entitled to get not one but two Thermomixes once I’ve made 5 sales. And I am delighted and proud to tell you that with the help of my lovely team I’ve made it!! A special thanks to Ankita for being there for me!
Let’s just say, there was a great cook, a good cook, a poor cook and then there was me! If it didn’t come from a freezer or a restaurant, I had no idea what to do with it. Then in 2012, I discovered the magical world of Thermomix. My friend owned the TM31 and would regularly cook amazing 3 course meals for me…..I couldn’t believe that I might be able to do the same and with such ease. Within a year, I owned my very own TM31 and only wished I’d bought it sooner! In November 2014, shortly after the launch of the brand new TM5…I signed up for the Earn and Demonstrate Programme and am now an Independent Thermomix Advisor. The training was easy and lots of fun. Ankita and her team are fantastic. Very helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about Thermomixing! It feels like joining a family and spending days cooking and demonstrating with likeminded friends. The journey has been incredible so far and look forward to the years ahead.
I bought my TM31 in late 2011 and, after two weeks of calling Ankita repeatedly to tell her all of the exciting things I’d been making, she suggested that I train to become a demonstrator. Within a month of buying my Thermomix I had completed my training and was demonstrating! I love being a Thermomix Advisor and really enjoy being a part of the wonderful Thermomix team. Ankita inspires her team members to share this amazing piece of kitchen equipment in so many ways, from public demonstrations to cooking classes and demonstrations in people’s own homes. As a member of Ankita’s team, I personally gain a great deal from attending team meetings and cooking classes with like minded advisors and customers who share my passion for the Thermomix and inspire me to use my Thermomix to its full potential, to make amazing recipes I never dreamed I’d be able to make before owning a Thermomix! I am so lucky to be on this amazing journey and I am so excited about now having my new TM5 alongside my TM31 in my kitchen!
I got my first Thermomix, a TM31, in mid-2014 and a week after my demostration, found myself at an open day to be an Advisor – I’d only heard about the Thermomix a week before my demo! I immediately loved my TM31 and really wanted to demonstrate too. The only negative was that I had to wait until I turned 18 in August before training but it meant I could start out with the TM5 (win, win!). The support we as Advisors receive is unmatched by anywhere else I’ve heard of and the same can be said of the support the customers receive. Being a part of Ankita’s team is such a privilege and I am constantly encouraged and inspired by speaking with Ankita, the rest of the team and going to team meetings. Demonstrating gives me the flexibility to work easily around my Professional Chef Diploma course and what better than always meeting new people and having the opportunity to show them my favourite thing! The Thermomix is such a great investment for any type of person and there is nothing I would recommend more.
Last year, I was invited to a Thermomix demonstration at a friend’s house. I had never heard of Thermomix and am not a natural cook. But as a working mum with a busy life, I immediately saw the benefits it would bring. The machine was not really in my budget, so I decided to try the demonstrate and earn programme.
Training with Ankita over three Thursdays to become an advisor was an extremely positive experience. Ankita has a passion for what she is doing and an enthusiasm for sharing it. Her energy is infectious. I met lovely people in the class and learned a lot. With the skills I gained, I was able to earn my machine!Several months on, I am having fun, eating healthier, and cooking with my two daughters. I also enjoy being part of the Thermomix team. We have the opportunity to attend cooking workshops, learn new skills and share ideas and recipes. And ofcourse to earn money by sharing something we love. What could be better!
First time a friend told me about Thermomix, I thought “How can a food processor be so expensive?” Then quite a few people told me more and more about it and how amazing it was as it wasn’t just a food processor. A couple of years later, I called the company to book a demonstration and I was convinced straight away! We had made bread, soup, sorbet and steamed some vegetables in less than 2 hours!!! I have never looked back on my investment as I think it’s worth every penny. My family loves our Thermomix and is now very conscious about healthy food. I became a demonstrator very soon after investing in my Thermomix and I’m enjoying it so much as I can look after my children and have a fun part time job meeting lots of new people.
I took a friend to a demonstration thinking to buy her the Thermomix as a joint present from all our friends for her birthday. I even said my Advisor, “I will come but will not buy it, but might try to see if my friend will like it.” I ended up buying it myself after exactly 2 minutes of the demo. I realised how packed my kitchen cupboards were with unnecessary cooking appliances that are inefficient.
My husband jumped at the price when he heard how much it costs but came down after less than 3 days, when he had everyday fresh homemade baguettes, fresh healthy and tasty soups, chicken stews, fresh fruit shakes for all the family in the morning or sorbets and much more. He loved the multi-layered cooking; I would steam fish, while, steaming asparagus and cooking a soup, a three course meal in 20 minutes, while we could take the time to chat. Everything was faster and tasted better. We were totally seduced as a whole family. What is amazing is that you can’t fail any recipes. I managed to refund to the shop, the last two appliances I bought in the months before.
The lady that demonstrated my Thermomix told me about the Advisor opportunity but thought I could not do it. The thing is once I got my Thermomix, all I was doing was speaking about with my friends was my new Thermomix. I became obsessed with it. I would do everything with it and I spent my 2 weeks proving myself, my family and friends that all a woman need in her kitchen was a Thermomix. I converted my recipes, was trying all the guided recipes, and trying cooking, baking things I would have never even dreamt of doing.
I decided to become an Advisor and manage to earn my second Thermomix in a bit more than one week. I demonstrated to all my friends with love and passion. All the people that bought it are thanking me everyday. I enjoyed changing their life the way Thermomix has changed mine. I love demonstrating Thermomix, advising, letting as many people know that they actually need it and helping people start with it. I use it everyday for every and anything. This is all about Thermomix and I love it.
A big thank you as well to my first Advisor, Chloe and Ankita, my wonderful and inspiring team leader. I hope to share my journey as much as I can with friends and people.
I was first introduced to the Thermomix by my sister-in-law who liFrancescaves in the Australia. She constantly raved about it whenever she came over to visit so in June 2015 my husband and I decided to have a demonstration. We both knew that we definitely wanted the TM5 and at the time I was also looking into starting another little business for myself. I attended the Open Day which was run by Ankita and went on to the Demonstrate and Earn programme in September 2015.
Ankita was a great Team Leader, always motivating her team constantly to be the best in creating awareness of the greatness of the TM5 and also selling it. I have learnt so much from being in her team, as her wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm is so great. Her leadership has encouraged me to now move forward to becoming a Team leader myself.I am really looking forward to what my future with Thermomix holds.
I first saw the Thermomix at a cooking class that I was volunteering at and knew I had to have one somehow! After a year or more of research into the company and direct marketing in general I finally took the plunge and went on the earn and demonstrate programme. It’s not a walk in the park and you get back what you put into it but it has been worth it and this is a business I want to develop and grow. I truly enjoy giving demonstrations and making new connections and being part of Ankita’s team was a privilege as I was able to learn from a highly experienced and successful coach.
The Thermomix may not be so well known in the UK but judging by its cult following in other countries I am confident that this business can only continue to grow here and I am very excited to be part of it.
I heard about this amazing machine, when we went on holiday to Germany as family about 4 years ago <2012>.
My husband, two teenage girls and myself got invited from friends who had a Thermomix. I was amazed that my friend hadn’t even started cooking when we arrived at their home. I was worried my friend might end up the whole time in the kitchen and wouldn’t be able to spend time with us. While we were chatting away with her husband and little boy, she was most of the time in the living room with us. Only from time to time she would disappear for a little while. But amazingly she surprised us in the end with a variety of different dishes. I just couldn’t believe my eyes.
At that time my health was really bad because of my fibromyalgia, I had really bad chronic pain and hardly could cook regular healthy meals for my family. Back in the UK, I decided to find out if the Thermomix is also available in the UK. My husband and myself went to a public Demonstration which was held in the home of an Advisor. We decided to buy a Thermomix.
Since I have my Thermomix, I have been able to cook more regularly fresh and healthy food. I specially enjoy cooking my curries now, because it’s much much quicker. Now even my husband, who never cooked in his life, sometimes surprises the family with freshly baked bread rolls or even a soup.
Becoming a Thermomix Advisor has been one of the most fun things I have done in recent years and I’ve really enjoyed the experience thus far. I love having the TM5 as my little helper in the kitchen and all my friends wanted one and encouraged me to train and demonstrate. I love cooking and hospitality so being an advisor for Thermomix has offered me the flexibility to do it in my spare time from my full-time employment. The support and guidance from Ankita as the Team Leader has been invaluable and I learnt so much just by observing her demonstration and listening to her sharing her experience and stories. The team of girls meet regularly and share tips and ideas. It feels like a little secret society of Thermomix elites.
My team are a great bunch of people who share my passion for the Thermomix and are committed to helping each other achieve their goals.
Many of my team are working, some full-time, many part-time and the Advisor role is flexible for those who either love cooking, hate cooking, want to meet more people and earn some extra cash.

I’ve just taken delivery of a new Thermomix today – on behalf of a client who couldn’t take delivery themselves at work. I realised that I’m just as excited as seeing this Thermomix come through the front door as I was when my own arrived over 6 months ago now.
I trained as an Independent Advisor for Thermomix as part of Ankita’s team in July 2014 on the earn and demonstrate programme. It’s been a whirlwind of activity. As well as learning new skills (food hygiene and health and safety certificates), it’s been amazing to use a Thermomix on a daily basis, take part in Cooking Classes and generally learn about peoples eating habits, food culture and even their special dietary requirements.
It’s a pleasure to be able to show people how to use such a fabulous piece of equipment and watch their faces as they start to understand what Thermomix will do and how it will contribute to their quality of life. There’s a real sense of achievement leaving a demonstration knowing that your audience has had a great time and that they have restaurant quality food to eat for their lunch or supper.
Ankita has built a team of committed individuals who all bring with them a wealth of experience. As well as running our own businesses, we are constantly sharing recipes, trying new things out and of course sharing tips and tricks. Although we attend regular team meetings, we seldom work together as such. But we are a great team and work together well when called on for Cookery Classes. This is surely down to Ankita’s expert training, guidance and personal enthusiasm for a product that we are all, as both advisors and home cooks, fanatical about.
I started my training to be an Independent Thermomix Advisor in April 2014. It’s been a fulfilling 5 months with highs and lows. Ankita has been an inspirational Team Leader, I’ve learned so much in this short time mainly drawing from her confidence and ability to captivate whoever she addresses. Having a team leader with so much passion and drive makes a huge difference in realising your own potential. She provides the support you require to succeed, always available for a chat and assistance when needed. The earn and demonstrate programme has been very beneficial in that I could start my own business with very little investment. Your initial success depends on how much effort you put into your 90 day programme, it thereafter is easier and so much fun. I am thoroughly enjoying my Thermomix Journey!
When I first found out I was pregnant my {Spanish} mum wanted to gift me a Thermomix because all her friends have one. They all gave rave reviews about Thermomix – how much time they were saving and how easy was to cook with it. So my mother decided that it will be a great help for me. At first, I thought I did not need it and it was so expensive luxury. She persisted, so I decided to see a demonstration. An Advisor came to my home and I was so impressed by the demonstration and how they explained all the functions, that I couldn’t wait until my mum bought it for me; I I purchased it myself especially as uptil that point, I had no idea of cooking.
The first time I realised Thermomix was a great purchase was at 2 am when I had just finished to breastfeeding my daughter and I was in the mood to eat a wrap. But I didn’t have any tortillas at home and and it was too late to run to a shop. I stopped and remembered, I had Thermomix. A quick internet search of recipes and within no time, I was sitting down to a wonderful homemade wrap. This encouraged me to start cooking more and more. I started talking about Thermomix to all my friends and family. They wanted to know how I was be able to make so many wonderful dishes without any knowledge of cooking. That’s why I became an Advisor {in May 2013} in Ankita’s team because I thought the Thermomix was the best item in my household and I wanted to share it with the world. I could not believe how people could not live without a Thermomix, it is the best invention ever. I compare owning a Thermomix with the owning washing machine, for me it was like having no washing machine and wash your clothes with your hands.
Two years on, I am now stepping up to the Team Builder role. I love Thermomix and love Advising. The role helps me meet new people, improving their lives and we have fun. It is also the main source of income for my daughter and myself and I also get excellent rewards. That why I keeping doing it. I love my Thermomix.
I love being a Thermomix Advisor. It is funny, you can meet amazing people and you learn from the team. But, the best of all is when your customers and friends thank you with phrases like these:
“You changed my life with Thermomix”,
“Since I bought my TM5, I have more time to spend with my family”
“A month ago I couldn’t cook an egg, yesterday I did Cheese Soufflé for dinner”
“Finally, I can eat super tasty dinners at home”
My sister introduced me to Thermomix in Mexico, so when I came back to London I decided to buy one and become an Advisor. The experience and good organisation of Ankita, my team leader, has been crucial. She’s always has plenty of ideas for growing your business and supporting you.
As Thermomix in the UK grows, many new teams are being formed and some members that I have recruited, trained and mentored for a number of months (years), migrate to new teams closer to their homes. It’s always sad when people leave my team but what I love most is having met these wonderful individuals and making friends; friendships that have been made go above and beyond the constraints of our working life.
I was a successful demonstrator in Portugal and then moved to UK a couple of years ago. Demonstrating in London is harder as the Thermomix (Bimby) is not as well known here than in Europe, but we are slowly getting there. People here are much less likely to host demonstrations or invite friends but we are trying. Ankita helped me with the transition and is very kind, patient and understanding. I work part-time so she often meets me for coffee outside of team meetings or does webinars (FaceTime) in the evenings, so I still feel very much knowledgable with the company information and updates of the team. For those who do work, we have a team Facebook page and WhatsApp groups, so there is always an opportunity to interact with Ankita and other members of the team. I have not only found the role of Thermomix helped me earn and income, but also helped me make friends.
Ankita proved to be a brilliant person to work with. I’ve really enjoyed being a Thermomix Advisor on her team. As a Team Leader, she is organised, practical, motivating, experienced and supportive. Her performance at Thermomix is golden. She is one of the top selling Advisors in the UK and in the top 1% in the country, given her diamond status. This leadership role gives us all a great role model to strive for. Give her the really challenging tasks, the ones that everyone else is struggling with, and she will get them done. The success achieved in her role requires extensive knowledge and dedication. She definitely shines in this direct sales environment as an individual but most importantly, shares all her knowledge and expertise with the team to make us better. Couldn’t ask for a better Team Leader.
I started my Advisor journey very unsure and with lack of confidence I would be able to sell any. I’m not a sales person and not good at making conversations. Thermomix it’s a great product and it sells itself it’s true. But you do have to put some effort and love into it. Demonstrations is what you have to go for! Lots of them, as much as you can get starting with your circle of friends and family. I am one of the lucky advisors that was entitled to get not one but two Thermomixes once I’ve made 5 sales. And I am delighted and proud to tell you that with the help of my lovely team I’ve made it!! A special thanks to Ankita for being there for me!
Let’s just say, there was a great cook, a good cook, a poor cook and then there was me! If it didn’t come from a freezer or a restaurant, I had no idea what to do with it. Then in 2012, I discovered the magical world of Thermomix. My friend owned the TM31 and would regularly cook amazing 3 course meals for me…..I couldn’t believe that I might be able to do the same and with such ease. Within a year, I owned my very own TM31 and only wished I’d bought it sooner! In November 2014, shortly after the launch of the brand new TM5…I signed up for the Earn and Demonstrate Programme and am now an Independent Thermomix Advisor. The training was easy and lots of fun. Ankita and her team are fantastic. Very helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about Thermomixing! It feels like joining a family and spending days cooking and demonstrating with likeminded friends. The journey has been incredible so far and look forward to the years ahead.
I bought my TM31 in late 2011 and, after two weeks of calling Ankita repeatedly to tell her all of the exciting things I’d been making, she suggested that I train to become a demonstrator. Within a month of buying my Thermomix I had completed my training and was demonstrating! I love being a Thermomix Advisor and really enjoy being a part of the wonderful Thermomix team. Ankita inspires her team members to share this amazing piece of kitchen equipment in so many ways, from public demonstrations to cooking classes and demonstrations in people’s own homes. As a member of Ankita’s team, I personally gain a great deal from attending team meetings and cooking classes with like minded advisors and customers who share my passion for the Thermomix and inspire me to use my Thermomix to its full potential, to make amazing recipes I never dreamed I’d be able to make before owning a Thermomix! I am so lucky to be on this amazing journey and I am so excited about now having my new TM5 alongside my TM31 in my kitchen!
I got my first Thermomix, a TM31, in mid-2014 and a week after my demostration, found myself at an open day to be an Advisor – I’d only heard about the Thermomix a week before my demo! I immediately loved my TM31 and really wanted to demonstrate too. The only negative was that I had to wait until I turned 18 in August before training but it meant I could start out with the TM5 (win, win!). The support we as Advisors receive is unmatched by anywhere else I’ve heard of and the same can be said of the support the customers receive. Being a part of Ankita’s team is such a privilege and I am constantly encouraged and inspired by speaking with Ankita, the rest of the team and going to team meetings. Demonstrating gives me the flexibility to work easily around my Professional Chef Diploma course and what better than always meeting new people and having the opportunity to show them my favourite thing! The Thermomix is such a great investment for any type of person and there is nothing I would recommend more.
Last year, I was invited to a Thermomix demonstration at a friend’s house. I had never heard of Thermomix and am not a natural cook. But as a working mum with a busy life, I immediately saw the benefits it would bring. The machine was not really in my budget, so I decided to try the demonstrate and earn programme.
Training with Ankita over three Thursdays to become an advisor was an extremely positive experience. Ankita has a passion for what she is doing and an enthusiasm for sharing it. Her energy is infectious. I met lovely people in the class and learned a lot. With the skills I gained, I was able to earn my machine!Several months on, I am having fun, eating healthier, and cooking with my two daughters. I also enjoy being part of the Thermomix team. We have the opportunity to attend cooking workshops, learn new skills and share ideas and recipes. And ofcourse to earn money by sharing something we love. What could be better!
First time a friend told me about Thermomix, I thought “How can a food processor be so expensive?” Then quite a few people told me more and more about it and how amazing it was as it wasn’t just a food processor. A couple of years later, I called the company to book a demonstration and I was convinced straight away! We had made bread, soup, sorbet and steamed some vegetables in less than 2 hours!!! I have never looked back on my investment as I think it’s worth every penny. My family loves our Thermomix and is now very conscious about healthy food. I became a demonstrator very soon after investing in my Thermomix and I’m enjoying it so much as I can look after my children and have a fun part time job meeting lots of new people.
I took a friend to a demonstration thinking to buy her the Thermomix as a joint present from all our friends for her birthday. I even said my Advisor, “I will come but will not buy it, but might try to see if my friend will like it.” I ended up buying it myself after exactly 2 minutes of the demo. I realised how packed my kitchen cupboards were with unnecessary cooking appliances that are inefficient.
My husband jumped at the price when he heard how much it costs but came down after less than 3 days, when he had everyday fresh homemade baguettes, fresh healthy and tasty soups, chicken stews, fresh fruit shakes for all the family in the morning or sorbets and much more. He loved the multi-layered cooking; I would steam fish, while, steaming asparagus and cooking a soup, a three course meal in 20 minutes, while we could take the time to chat. Everything was faster and tasted better. We were totally seduced as a whole family. What is amazing is that you can’t fail any recipes. I managed to refund to the shop, the last two appliances I bought in the months before.
The lady that demonstrated my Thermomix told me about the Advisor opportunity but thought I could not do it. The thing is once I got my Thermomix, all I was doing was speaking about with my friends was my new Thermomix. I became obsessed with it. I would do everything with it and I spent my 2 weeks proving myself, my family and friends that all a woman need in her kitchen was a Thermomix. I converted my recipes, was trying all the guided recipes, and trying cooking, baking things I would have never even dreamt of doing.
I decided to become an Advisor and manage to earn my second Thermomix in a bit more than one week. I demonstrated to all my friends with love and passion. All the people that bought it are thanking me everyday. I enjoyed changing their life the way Thermomix has changed mine. I love demonstrating Thermomix, advising, letting as many people know that they actually need it and helping people start with it. I use it everyday for every and anything. This is all about Thermomix and I love it.
A big thank you as well to my first Advisor, Chloe and Ankita, my wonderful and inspiring team leader. I hope to share my journey as much as I can with friends and people.
I was first introduced to the Thermomix by my sister-in-law who liFrancescaves in the Australia. She constantly raved about it whenever she came over to visit so in June 2015 my husband and I decided to have a demonstration. We both knew that we definitely wanted the TM5 and at the time I was also looking into starting another little business for myself. I attended the Open Day which was run by Ankita and went on to the Demonstrate and Earn programme in September 2015.
Ankita was a great Team Leader, always motivating her team constantly to be the best in creating awareness of the greatness of the TM5 and also selling it. I have learnt so much from being in her team, as her wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm is so great. Her leadership has encouraged me to now move forward to becoming a Team leader myself.I am really looking forward to what my future with Thermomix holds.
I first saw the Thermomix at a cooking class that I was volunteering at and knew I had to have one somehow! After a year or more of research into the company and direct marketing in general I finally took the plunge and went on the earn and demonstrate programme. It’s not a walk in the park and you get back what you put into it but it has been worth it and this is a business I want to develop and grow. I truly enjoy giving demonstrations and making new connections and being part of Ankita’s team was a privilege as I was able to learn from a highly experienced and successful coach.
The Thermomix may not be so well known in the UK but judging by its cult following in other countries I am confident that this business can only continue to grow here and I am very excited to be part of it.
I heard about this amazing machine, when we went on holiday to Germany as family about 4 years ago <2012>.
My husband, two teenage girls and myself got invited from friends who had a Thermomix. I was amazed that my friend hadn’t even started cooking when we arrived at their home. I was worried my friend might end up the whole time in the kitchen and wouldn’t be able to spend time with us. While we were chatting away with her husband and little boy, she was most of the time in the living room with us. Only from time to time she would disappear for a little while. But amazingly she surprised us in the end with a variety of different dishes. I just couldn’t believe my eyes.
At that time my health was really bad because of my fibromyalgia, I had really bad chronic pain and hardly could cook regular healthy meals for my family. Back in the UK, I decided to find out if the Thermomix is also available in the UK. My husband and myself went to a public Demonstration which was held in the home of an Advisor. We decided to buy a Thermomix.
Since I have my Thermomix, I have been able to cook more regularly fresh and healthy food. I specially enjoy cooking my curries now, because it’s much much quicker. Now even my husband, who never cooked in his life, sometimes surprises the family with freshly baked bread rolls or even a soup.
Becoming a Thermomix Advisor has been one of the most fun things I have done in recent years and I’ve really enjoyed the experience thus far. I love having the TM5 as my little helper in the kitchen and all my friends wanted one and encouraged me to train and demonstrate. I love cooking and hospitality so being an advisor for Thermomix has offered me the flexibility to do it in my spare time from my full-time employment. The support and guidance from Ankita as the Team Leader has been invaluable and I learnt so much just by observing her demonstration and listening to her sharing her experience and stories. The team of girls meet regularly and share tips and ideas. It feels like a little secret society of Thermomix elites.
