Anyone with honest experience of becoming a Slimming World consultant?

Honest opinions here

so mine and my sisters SW consultant will be relocating to another area of the UK as her husband has a new job

we’ve both lost weight and we were wondering about taking on the group (one of us being the consultant and one supporting the other!)

we need to attend the opportunities evening but on a quick google there’s some really negative feedback on there and I’m concerned about the cost of the franchise that seems wild!

any consultants on here who can give some input? Or ex consultants prepared to be brutally honest!

A friend of a friend, who put her heart and soul into the role, ended up working for 50p an hour or something daft like that. She literally couldn’t switch off, was answering texts from her group members all the time (Sandra, how many Syns are in a doughnut? , Sandra I’m so upset I’ve eaten the whole pack, Sandra I’m having a bad day etc etc).
My SW consultant couldn’t even be arsed to learn my name so was the complete opposite to Sandra!

Sandra no longer a consultant because once one of her members discovered weight-loss injections word soon spread amongst the group. That would be the main concern I think, it’s something like 6% of households have someone using WLI and that figure will no doubt rise when it’s available in tablet form.

I met a woman from Liverpool who was involved in selling franchises or was part of their trade body, I forget which, as it was 20 years ago. She said "I'd never buy a franchise.".
