Slimming World job

Hi

I was just wondering if anyone had thought about becoming a slimming world consultant. Does anyone know how easy this is and how much it makes?

I would like to do something to fit round the kids

Thanks in advance

  • Hi

    It can be a very rewarding job. If you are seriously interested get in touch with them and they will let you know when and where the next 'information' event is in your area. This meeting explains what the job involves. Class sizes vary hugely and you are paid % according to numbers. Not many people = Not much money, or on the other hand if you put a lot into your job and build up the groups the money is better.
    Training is in Derby.

    Hope this helps a bit.

    As a rough guide you're looking at just under £1k start up costs, and you get to keep a maximum of 50% of the fees if you manage to get something like 70 members sign in each week. Something like 40% for 50 members etc etc.

    In return you have to deliver something like 2000 leaflets in your area 4 times a year (only allowed to deliver on Sundays or bank holidays) plus run the group and support the members outside of the group.

    Too much outlay, and too much was expected of you. They do advertise that you can get a loan for the start up costs though.
