A diary of a slimming world consultant

[Dougal1983]

Welcome to all the new consultants- great to have you all on board

Last night at group, I got to do the weighing in, which is really good, and I even had a member ask me for advice
As my C was giving her new member talk, I chatted to this member and she went away very happy.
It made me feel so proud and it just confirmed that this is the right path for me.
I will be sad to leave my group tho, they are just amazing X

Rosie - thanks so much for starting this thread and for getting others involved and sharing their SW consultant story - I'd been to an op earlier with a view to starting in March & tbh was 50/50, I love the idea of helping people and being able to make some money from it and the fact it could be done around my family. However, the mission statement is a little off putting " a meeting on every street corner, on every night of the week" - that I could put my heart and soul into growing and promoting SW in my area just to have 3,4,10 or 50 other people come and hand over their money to get a group beside me and dilute not my efforts - just my takings, sits uneasily. Then to hear people are simply not making money to even cover their training, let alone support themselves is frankly depressing and an unfair situation for consultants who are slogging their guts out to make it work.
Wishing you every success in wherever your career takes you.

I think in that case SW is definitely not for you then. As I said in previous posts, SW is still a business and like any business you're not going to see profits in the first say 3-6 months. Thanks to Rosie and the other consultants we know much how hard work it is and it's not going to be money that just falls in our lap. Yes, there are a lot of upfront costs, but if you were opening a shop you'd have refitting costs, staff costs, products costs, possibly plumbing and building costs etc...

I hope you find a business that suits your needs x

Our class has between 65-80 for a single session so WI is very manc and he girl who does it has done so for 4 years and she s so fast lol. But if needed I could step in.

I was told I have the job subject to credit score and that's what's worrying me as in my past I've had a few problems ( when i got divorced ) although now I'm ok as on electoral roll and bank n credit card ... Don't know if I'm worrying bout nothing . And like you I will still run the tills at my SW group as I couldn't imagine not being around my consultant as he has pledged to do my tills lol .... What area are you from Deloni ?? X
