The training is on Friday and Saturday but starts at 9am, so people go up on the Thursday. I live in East Sussex so it's a mission for me on the Friday morning. So 2 nights in total x

0844
Saw a mentions few posts back about SW HO being an 0844 number hence not being included in most call plans - not sure if they'll have an entry but have you tried checking their number on the saynoto0870 site? (google that phrase and you should fine the site - bit fiddly to try to link on phone) as they often have alternative national numbers for 0870, 0845 and 0844 etc number that can be used to reduce call charges.

I posted some tips and extras to think about earlier and it didn't post grrrrr! Will try later if I get chance
Anyway you will have a field support team for your area and a designated SW person in that team that looks after you for the first 6 weeks after you take over, the numbers are 01773 ones and will be given to you at your pre-training. It's nice to know someone is watching out for you they remind you to upload, download, check you got your stock etc make sure you pop in and say hello when you're on training, they love to meet you, they work shifts up to 10pm over 7 days a week so there is always someone in HO field support you can call x
I've just been out trying to do some extra promotions as my group numbers aren't picking up, I've scanned in a poster and printed 4 onto an A4 sheet, they are easier to get up I've found a lot of places aren't keen on A4 size (that's all you can order from SW) I got a small one up in a fish and chip shop and dropped a back copy of SW mag full of leaflets into the hairdressers. Have laminated posters and attached to fences in a playground near my venue and also stapled laminated A4 sized posted onto wooden sticks and placed in the grass along footpaths near my venue , I have got 10 out this afternoon. I have a SW monthly Team meeting tomorrow from 2.30-6pm so that's my weekend pretty much gone on SW stuff and its not even the Easter campaign yet, feel guilty as wont be spending much time with my boys but that's the reality of being a consultant!

It certainly is full on, that's the thing that does concern me as well is the family time :-(
Sounds like you've done really well! Are there a lot of groups near yours?
Thanks for all your other tips as well!! x

Thank you! Take out a credit card with a low limit and use a few times. Even just for fuel, then pay it off it full every time x

Dont worry about the interview, really its not like gioing for a "normal" job interview. They just want to make sure you are right for the job.
They ask you about your weight loss journey, favourite meals, what job you already do, have you encountered any difficulties at work you had to deal with, that sort of thing.
My advice is shine during group. Make the effort to talk to other members, give advice, be supportive all the things you would want from a consultant.
I am a regular poster on our facebook page, i have been labled the "Calming Balm" lol
Of all the things to worry about, the interview is not one of them xx

Couldn't agree more. It's more of a chat with a few questions added in!
And yes defo shine in group, always participate and chat to other members etc...
Well good on you for still going, despite the costs!
It was one of the things that put me off, and my costs would have been similar, as I would have used the train, as wouldn't want to drive to Derby!
And of course, there are three training events!
