I had a wee go in my class on Tuesday, doesn't look too bad, going for a bit more practice to my team developers class on Monday again. Off to visit my class tonight - eeeek ! so excited and nervous, really looking forward to meeting some new people
Yay! Well done
I'm hoping to do mine over the weekend,still got a wee bit reading to do.
I received my leaflets banner and laminates today...so excited I raced home to open the boxes. It was really strange seeing them with my name on!
I visited the group I am relaunching last night to get the room layout as they've just moved into the school hall from a first floor room, so quite pleased about that - no stairs to worry about. Everyone was lovely very excited to meet me as it had been announced two weeks ago. So I stayed for the class to get a wee feel for it, loved it and think its going to be a great class. The social team are all lovely and willing to stay which I am super happy (They all volunteered to help the relief consultant last year when the consultant left on a bit of a low note) so they have recently been trained and might know more than I do haha! Its made me a little less nervous as I got a really good feeling from them as a group.
Well im off to do some more reading...oh how my Friday nights have changed hehe!
Cannot wait to meet everyone at HO (I'm travelling and staying myself so will defo be looking out for you lovely ladies!)
The pay stuff comes with practice
im lucky Id already had a mess around on it as I have always been a 'casual' social team member lol I literally have just jumped from wherever I'm needed pay, weigh, shop!! meet n greet in busy times lol
Helloo
Have spent the best part of today reading this thread and love how informative it has been.
I have been a member of slimming world a few times, last time i lost 5 stone but due to a medical problem which led to an operation i ended up banging 2 stone back on, so i re-joined again just before xmas to start off the slimming journey again.
I went to an ops event a couple of years ago but felt i needed to get to target before persuing the idea of becoming a consultant any further, obviously with the medical problem cropping up i never did reach that target, however i'm back on it now and doing well.
I was considering attending the ops event again just to refresh my mind on everything but really feel that becoming a SW consultant is the right direction for me to be heading in, i know its A LOT of hard work (especially after reading this thread) I love the diet, already run an online (fb) slimming group with 128 members and growing so am offering support to others already and of course rave about the diet to family and friends and just about anyone who will listen.
However there's something stopping me taking the plunge... im not at target and i'm about 3 stone away from my target, i don't know whether to wait till i'm nearer my target or take the plunge and work towards my target within my own group, as well as the obvious worries about not getting the numbers through the doors e.t.c my main concern is that im not yet at my target, does this matter? im of the frame of mind that i would be a bit put out if the consultant standing there preaching to me about how good this diet is was herself a large person (size18)... just wondering on peoples thoughts about this?
Im also a social team member of my group that i attend now so know pretty well how the group works/runs
any other advice you can give would obviously be gratefully recieved

Hi All,
This thread has been amazingly helpful - thank you all for sharing your stories
Having been a SW member for 2 and a half years (4 and a half stone loss) I went along to the Opps event at the weekend.
I work full time for a large company, so my main motivation was an job to help others. As all of you know,you can't stop talking about the benefits of SW when your life has been changed so I thought I could make something of this. The event was interesting, and I came away full of it - but when I ran it all past my partner, he was very alarmed by the licence fee. So I've set about making my business plan to try and establish how I could earn this money back - if at all!!
I am looking at taking over my existing group, as our consultant is temporary whilst they search for someone to take over. The group currently has average of 40 weighing members per week - does anybody know if these would become "my" members over time? Or is your commision based on purely the "new" members as a result of your own promtional activities? Obviously these existing members would make a big difference to my figures and retaining them would only make me 30 new members away from looking at a double session - again, a game changer.
Any advice much appreciated
It's been mentioned a few times in the thread it's now £1500 plus various other costs including setting up Group - boxes, cash tins etc plus travel and hotels when at training. Yes has to be paid up front. I was very wary beforehand but am loving it x
sounds ideal. Will take a while to read it all! X
for me I started Jan and had 42 new members first week and 22 second. You then have to load everyone's rnrollment form on and then for four weeks you will have what food diaries are handed in. That all takes a lot of time as you are still learning what's where and what you are looking for. Until you get into a routine things take longer but you gradually get a routine Kline to start with I counted the money tin then before group sorted the float so counting it twice. Now did it in one hit. You are tired after first few groups and just pack away anyhow and having to sort it all out in right boxes next daybut now take time at venue to count stock and out everything in right boxes do it can go straight away. You are setting up FB pages, Twitter, visuals and it all takes time. Now it's all set up I have free SW days. It's becausevyou are learning so much and things take longer. It took me most of a day to load 42 new on as I kept missing bits out now getting 2/3 new a week it takes minutes. I don't want to put you off just want you to be sure you can fit it in as a lot in my training struggled that worked full time. Always happy to answer your queries x
