The First Step In Becoming a Thermomix® Consultant
You need to let someone know! Even if it's just a glimmer of a thought that you may want to know more about being a consultant, have a conversation with me. You will gather a lot of information below but offers do change. Sometimes a free business kit is offered, or you can earn a Thermomix® with fewer sales. I find people can have something holding them back, but it actually is a plus for them, not a minus!
Before you Start as a Thermomix® Consultant
So you have decided to join the cult that is Thermomix! Yeah! Good on you! I know you will love it. Here are the steps that lead up to your start date.
- Let me know you're interested
- I book you into a Zoom Business Info Session (Virtual)
- I put you in touch with the Team leader in your area for a chat about start dates and whether you would like to earn a TM6 or if you are bringing your own Thermomix.
- You will be sent an agreement to read and sign
- You will be given online Thermomix learning modules to complete
- Your Team Leader will do some practical training with you
- You do a Virtual Zoom Build Your Business Training
- Your business kit arrives, and your TM6 arrives if you're earning or need to buy one.
- Start your 60 days!!
What do you need to be a Thermomix® Consultant?
To be a Thermomix® Consultant the main thing you need is a bit of enthusiasm! Everything else we can work around so don't get discouraged if you don't have a Thermomix®, we have ways around that!
- Business Kit
- Current Thermomix
What is in the Business Kit?
The Consultant Business Kit does vary but it is generally about $400 worth of products that help you run your Thermomix business. Here is a sample business kit:
- A Thermomix® apron
- A Thermomix® Server
- A silicone bread mat
- A set of bamboo serving bowls
- A Thermomix® envirobag
- A Thermomix® carry bag
- The Flipchart to use in Thermomix® Cooking Demos
- The stationery you will need for Thermomix® Cooking Demos
The cost of the kit also varies. Thermomix® will often promote a half-price business kit. Or a refund of the kit price once a certain number of sales has been reached. At the time of writing this article, the business kit was free. The free kit is a pared-down version but you get an extra item free, with every sale you make.
I want to be a Thermomix® Consultant but I don't have a TM6
EARN Thermomix®
Easy Peasy! We have the best plan ever, just EARN your Thermomix®! This means your commission is used to buy your Thermomix at a very discounted rate. It is a real win!
When I wrote this article, you could earn a Thermomix® with just 3 sales! Ordinarily, we offer to earn a Thermomix® for 6 sales and the special is earning for 4 sales. If you don't get all the sales you need for a free TM6 it doesn't matter, you get a heavily discounted Thermomix®. The amount is based on the sales you have made.
Buy Thermomix®
Some people prefer to buy their TM6 upfront before coming into the business. Then start the business and use their commission to pay off the credit card, after pay, Zip or Humm interest-free facility. The benefit of this option is they get the current gift with purchase, plus they don't have any perceived feeling of indebtedness.
It is always better to chat before you make your decision whether to EARN or BUY. Occasionally the gift with purchase is also offered with the EARN program.
Start Your 60-day Consultant Program
The 60-day Thermomix® consultant program is an incentive program designed to help consultants off to a fabulous start in their first 60 days. Some consultants that have joined purely to earn a Thermomix® may only be with Thermomix® for the 60 days but others may decide to use this program as a springboard to a new Thermomix® Business.
During this period you will be doing cooking experiences and receiving training and assistance from your Team Leader.
Thermomix® 60-day Incentives
Below are the current incentives earned in the 60 days. Consultant Commission is also earned during this period if you bring a Thermomix® to the business.
- Choose a free cookbook if you have 5 Cooking Demos booked into the Thermomix® HUB before your start date, and achieve one sale in the first 30 days.
- Achieve 3 closed sales in your first 30 days of business and earn a Thermomix® Cutter and Blade, Cover, Peeler, valued at $288.
- Achieve 6 closed sales in your first 60 Days of business and earn a TM6 Bowl, Blade and Lid set. Valued at $395.
Once people on the EARN program have completed the sales they need to EARN their TM6 they will also receive a commission.
Thermomix® Training & Consultant Support
Your Team Leader is your business mentor. If you're on the Central Coast that will be me! The Team Leader will provide training, lead the local team, create a community within the group, and help you with questions about running your Thermomix® business or holding Thermomix® Cooking Demonstrations.
Your Team Leader will also hold monthly meetings to update you on the new monthly incentives for consultants and customer gifts with purchases. Consultants are always told about things first! Plus we will usually get the chance to earn them for free before they are available to the public. This is something I LOVE about being a consultant!
You will also find team members become new friends. You will share a common goal and interest. Best of all, everyone wants success for each other, and there is always something Thermomix® related to chat about.
I have always been part of an amazing team and that is what I am creating for my team! Grace started Thermomix 22 years ago. The first consultants were a group of her friends, and that is still the feeling today!
How Much Does a Thermomix® Consultant Earn in Australia?
How much you can earn as a Thermomix consultant depends on how you run your Thermomix Business and your personality. If this is a side hustle you choose to do on the occasional weekend you may earn less than someone who invests more time. However, you can't underestimate the benefit of a consultant with enthusiasm, or a large network of colleagues in a good age range or demographic!
Although the number one way a Thermomix® Consultant earns income is through their Thermomix sales it is worth looking at other sources of income within the business.
Thermomix® Commission Rates
The amount of commission a Thermomix consultant receives for the sale of each Thermomix varies depending on how many they have sold that month. The commission is based on a sliding scale between $255 - $435.
I found it really frustrating when I started because no one would tell me if selling 10 Thermomixes in a month was even possible. So I didn't know if I would ever earn $435 per TM6 or a commission of $4350 in a month. I can honestly say it can be done because I have done it multiple times, but it isn't the norm.
The best thing to say is the business can be what you make it. Set your goals, then work with your Team Leader to form a plan to achieve them.
Mixshop Commission Rates
When you become a Thermomix® consultant you can earn commission on TheMix Shop products.
Customers look for advice from their consultants about what products should be purchased with Thermomix. As their consultant, you will be entitled to a commission when they purchase anything from TheMix Shop including larger ticket items like the Ovana Pizza Oven or Kobold Vac.
The commission on TheMix Shop products varies depending on whether the item is on sale or at full price. Kobold is a referral payment system.
Thermomix® Delivery Fee
Sometimes a customer will buy directly from head office and not choose a consultant. These purchases are allocated to Thermomix® consultants nearby. When you do a delivery briefing for one of these customers you are paid a delivery fee for the websale.
Thermomix® Consultant Booster Rewards
After the new consultant finishes the 60 days from the contract start date they move on to their Booster Rewards Program. This program continue for the following 10 months with a series of gifts for the consultant to collect when a sale is made.
There are 12 gifts to collect in 10 months! That is so doable!
- Thermomix® Cookbook and Tea Towel
- Oval Thermomix® Server
- Vac-u-Seal Set
- Collection of Rose Gold Bakeware
- Thermomix® Sensor
- Glider Board
- Bowl, Blade, and Lid Set
- Insulated Thermomix® Carry Basket
- TM6 Trolley Bag
- Thermomix® Cutter
- Ovana Pizza Oven
- Thermomix® TM6 Yep! Another one!
Are you starting to feel like it would be a mistake not to join? I agree! I honestly believe this is the best side hustle or job! Not just for the commission, the community, or the incentives, but also for the sense of independence in running your own business, while also having help at every step of the way!
Thermomix Consultant Enquiry Form
Thermomix® Monthly Consultant Incentives
So far I have explained all the incentives you get in the first year of being a consultant and outlined the Consultant Commission. Guess what...?
There is more!
Monthly incentives are announced at the team or branch meeting. There are usually several incentives that can be earned based on your sales for the month. New consultants will earn these in addition to the other incentives they earn. So there is loads of double dipping available and encouraged!
Consultants outside their Booster Reward program work for a commission, monthly incentives, surprise incentives, and ThermoFest.
What are Thermomix® Consultant Super Incentives
A Super incentive is a high-value incentive offered to consultants above and beyond the normal scope of monthly incentives. Some examples of incentives I have personally earned are:
- Robo Vacuum
- Sparkling Black Thermomix
- Matt Black Thermomix
- 4 bonus white Thermomixes
I also just missed out on a trip to Germany by one position. It was a flash incentive over Christmas, with the top 12 consultants earning the travel.
Speaking of travel, we also have ThermoFest! Everyone has the opportunity to attend ThermoFest!
ThermoFest: Thermomix® Consultant Travel Incentive
Another amazing incentive Thermomix offers is a 5-star travel experience to a mystery destination each year! Consultants earn points from January to June, each year to qualify for ThermoFest. This is an annual incentive and is earned for an accumulation of effort.
During Thermofest we have three days of activities and celebrations including a conference with motivational speakers and a formal evening. It is a fabulous opportunity to get to know more of the team and really feel the spirit of our fabulous company.
I heard I could earn international travel so that became one of my main focuses. I have been fortunate and qualified for every Thermofest since I started with Thermomix. Here are all the Thermofests I have qualified for:
- 2020 China
- 2021 Gold Coast
- 2022 Uluru
- 2023 Port Douglas
- 2024 Bali
- 2025 Pre-qualified for Fiji (who would like to come with me!)
When you join as a consultant, you immediately become eligible to earn points towards ThermoFest qualification. I made it to ThermoFest in my first year as a consultant you can too!
ThermoFest means, your flights, five-star accommodation, meals, and activities are all covered and there is a chance to party with your friends and leave the family behind!
Other Thermomix® Consultant Benefits
If you haven't already earned everything Thermomix has on offer for free don't worry. Another benefit of being a Thermomix consultant is Themix shop's 15% discount. You can purchase any time you like with your discount. The discount is less when the item is on sale and is phased out completely when the item is 30% off to the public.
Thermomix® FAQs
No, As a consultant you receive a commission. Your Team leader also runs a business selling Thermomixes and supporting you, so she earns commission. Everyone above the Team Leader earns a salary.
Your sales goal is your business. This would have been discussed when you came on board. One sale every 2 months is the minimum, but if circumstances arise that prevent you from working your business the company is very flexible.

Being a consultant isn't about selling. We just cook with our customers and show them the possibilities. Our enthusiasm and love of the product will naturally shine through, and if it's the right time they will buy.
Lol! It's a funny story, my Team Leader in Coffs Harbour got her first Thermomix because she couldn't cook. She was young, had 3 kids under 5 years of age, was incredibly busy, and regularly went through the Macca's drive-through. She still laughs that she couldn't cook and became a Thermomix consultant. That was more than 10 years ago and she is now a team leader and working her way up to Business Development manager.
