Weekly Highlights

What an exciting week in our company! Our amazing CEO, Randall White, announced this week that Usborne will be pulling ALL their titles from Amazon and from any entities that resell to Amazon. This is HUGE for our sales force and is an amazing vote of confidence in us from Randall! Let's show him that this was the BEST decision for Usborne Books & More! You can read the press release to Publisher's Weekly here.

The excitement continued yesterday when early bird registration to Usborne National Convention began! We already have 5 consultants from our team who have registered! I hope that many of you are going to join me, Julianne Carney, Tara Maple, Jessica Wood, and Felicia Self! Be sure to register this month to take advantage of the early bird rate. :)

AND, we also found out yesterday that those who didn't get the sales they needed in February are getting a second chance to earn the iPad! Here is what National Sales Manager, Heather Cobb, said in her email...

"In March, sell enough to reach Home Office Challenge 1 + enough to make up for what you missed in February and you are back in the running. You will still need to complete the sales in April and May as well."

She also said that those who did get their sales for February will get an "upgrade"...we will find out soon what that is! SO EXCITING!!!! It is not too late to earn the iPad! If you came up short in February, no worries...you can make up for that in March. :)
