Champagne and pizza

Congratulation to all TCT's Consultants living our message that Cooking is Fun!! Despite news of doom and gloom in the papers, your customers spent a record $140 each during April. This is an awesome result and very profitable.
Your enthusiasm is proving contagious with a record 109 new Consultants joining TCT in April. Those joining TCT are bursting with energy and excited to continue our success in improving eating experiences across Australia and NZ. Check out this blog as an example of one of the madder new Consultants http://www.agoddessinthekitchen.blogspot.com/

Of course, everyone has to get to training in May as I promised champagne and pizza if you got us to our target of 100. Enjoy!

Di Rendle

Di has always been right up there as one of TCT's most loyal Consultants. Following the Rising Stars seminar, Di was so pumped on the way home, she dialled in to a radio talk-back, got on air and pitched TCT. Di has received one C.Party booking, has been contacted by someone who wants to join her team, and our web visitors have spiked. Awesome effort Di!!!

Guys

Finally, we are starting to see a steady flow of guys as Consultants. We've always had heaps of guys as customers - and very lucrative customers they tend to be- however we've not had too many join as Consultants. I have always felt the cooking aspect would attract more guys than other Party Plan companies, and this is starting to happen. Any change which doubles your target market is a good thing.

Using tools

More and more of TCT's Consultants are using the tools we develop to help grow their business. We will have our biggest ever month because the Join for $149 promo is being enthusiastically offered by so many Consultants. I'm particularly impressed by the number of Consultants who are using this tool withing 1 month of joining TCT. The response to May's joining promo has been very powerful, althought everyone agrees that $149 is an amazing price to establish a business.

Mary Christensen

I love being a fly on the wall when 100 Chefs Toolbox Consultants get together. Their positive energy is inspirational.
Today we had our Rising Stars - those most likely to take their businesses to a new level - at a seminar in Melbourne. The focus was on growing their businesses and the action plans to do so. We were all wowed by Mary Christensen as she explained why she started in direct sales and then got us to change our mindset so that we were comfortable to offer the same opportunity to those we meet.
Julie then gave us a practical framework to ensure can meet the objectives we set ourselves each year, by breaking the objectives down into months, weeks and then days ie bite-size chunks.

Increasing noise

Thanks to all our Consultants who are spreading the word on TCT across Australia (and NZ). We're seeing a flood of new applications, with many coming via Consultants that have only been with us a little while. Congratulations - clearly your enthusiasm is paying off. The party's always more fun with more people so it's fantastic to see the TCT party rockin'.
