New Consultants...Tips for Getting Your Business Off to a Great Start!

We have SO MANY new consultants on our team right now...it's very exciting! Getting your business off to a great start is so important. I have had many consultants tell me, "I wish I had taken advantage of my incentive period" or "I wish I had done more during my incentive period." The home office has so many great incentives in place for your first 12 weeks through the Write Your Own Success Story Program. I don't want any of you to miss out! So, I thought I would post a few tips to help you get your business off to a great (and fast) start.

Host your own first home party & get it on the calendar ASAP!
Seriously...schedule it for next week! :) There are several reasons why this can help your business:

1. You get to introduce your new Usborne business and these amazing books to all your friends & family at one time.
2. You get to practice your first home party on the people who love you most.
3. It gives your friends the chance to book their home parties...they will want the chance to host a party during your incentive period so that they will get DOUBLE FREE BOOKS! :)
4. My favorite reason...You are the consultant, so you make the commission. But, you are also the HOSTESS, so you get the double free hostess books!!! This is a GREAT way to increase the amount of books you have to show at parties & other events!

Here is a great sheet that gives you some tips for planning your Kick-off or Business Launch party: Business Launch Home Show sheet.

Make a booking notebook.
A booking notebook is a resource of ideas, names, referrals, etc. of people to contact to purchase books, have home shows, or join you. Just get a one-subject spiral-bound notebook and brainstorm contacts. Here is a sheet that outlines how to make a booking notebook: Booking Notebook.

Try to schedule at least 6 home parties for your incentive period.
You will never get another chance to offer your friends double free books with JUST $250 in home party sales!!! You could really help your friends & their families get tons of free books! Get on the phone and tell them about this amazing deal asap! :)

Once you start having parties for your friends, you will very quickly get outside of your "circle." The important thing is to start getting events on your calendar! As you meet people at these home parties, it can also lead to other things...preschool book fairs, school library appointments, booths, & new consultants to join your team! You just never know who you are going to meet and what it may lead to!

New consultants...we are all cheering for you! Let us know how we can help!
