Wow!!!! What an amazing fall & holiday selling season!!! I hope that your Usborne business has been FUN and a BLESSING to you and your family this year! This will be our last weekly highlight post until the new year. I can't wait to see what amazing things are in store for our team in 2011! Here are a couple of highlights from this week...
- Tara Maple (Opelika, AL) earned the BIG PRIZE in the Want it! Win it! promotion...she is getting her pick between an iPad, a big flat screen TV, or $500!!!
- The new incentive trip destination was announced...EVERY ONE of you has the opportunity to earn a trip to ARUBA!!!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy time with your families!
Merry Christmas!!!!!!
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama! Pretty Usborne mamas need a trip to a tropical paradise...pretty Usborne mamas are going to be sitting on a beach in Aruba!!!!! Randall made the big announcement last night...5 nights in the tropical paradise of Aruba! So, who is going with us!?! The details of what we need to do to earn the trip are coming very soon. What can you be doing while you wait? RECRUIT! RECRUIT! RECRUIT! Recruits that sign up this month will Bronze during the trip earning period and you are definitely going to need Bronze recruits to earn the trip. And remember....December recruits get a 16-week incentive period!!! That means they will have even longer to reach Bronze! There may even be friends, family, or customers who want to become a consultant so that they can earn this amazing trip too! What else can you be doing? FILL YOUR 2011 calendars! You will not only need recruits to earn this vacation to paradise, but you will also need to have sales!
One of the things I am most thankful for with my Usborne business is the opportunities it has given my family. In the 3 years that I have been a consultant with Usborne I have been able to take my husband on a dream vacation to Rome, Italy, and this past April I was able to take my oldest son on a 7-day cruise through the Hawaiian Islands. Both of these experiences are absolute treasures and they would not have happened without my Usborne business. This coming April I will again get to take my husband on a dream vacation...this time to London, England and Edinburgh, Scotland!
One of best things about earning these trips is that EVERYONE has an equal opportunity to do so! A brand new consultant is on a level playing field with someone who has been with the company for 15 years...the requirements are the same and you only earn points for the business you do during the 9-month trip earning period. The secret is setting the goal and making a plan! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! Make your goal to be on this trip and share your goal with your spouse, your family, your supervisor, and your Usborne team! I would love to help you come up with a plan to make sure you are on that plane to Aruba!
You can thank me later for causing you to sing "Kokomo" all day long in your head! :)
I hope you have all had a great week! We are nearing the Christmas sales finish line! I hope you have had great sales AND have been focusing on your January and 2011 calendars!!! ;) Here are some highlights from this week...
- Tara Maple (Opelika, AL) is currently #22 on the President's Club leaderboard!!!
- Deanna Leras (Auburn, AL) had a booth this week where she booked 3 home parties for January!
- The next incentive TRAVEL CONTEST will be announced on Tuesday!!!!! Wherever we are going, I promise it will be amazing!!! I just earned my 3rd trip with Usborne and each one has been absolutely incredible...I have been able to share Rome, Italy with my husband and a 7-day Hawaiian cruise with my 9-year-old son. These are memories that will last a lifetime! I want to share the next trip with you guys! So, are you going!?! Make it a goal NOW to earn this trip!
Have a wonderful weekend! If you have a highlight, share it in the comments below. :)

You guys are amazing! We have just about 2 weeks left of Christmas shopping...don't let this opportunity for great sales pass you by!
Congratulations to Tara Maple, our team's newest Supervisor!!! Tara became an Usborne consultant just a little over a year ago as a way to provide extra income for her family and great books for her kids! Tara also homeschools, so having free and discounted Usborne books was a huge plus for her. Tara got her business off to a great start right away, but it wasn't until attending Usborne National Convention this summer that she really caught hold of the team-building aspect of our business. At convention, Tara made the goal to promote to Supervisor this fall. The picture on the left is of Tara with our Usborne "family tree" at our team dinner at convention. All the branches are the Supervisors under Nancy Ann Wartman (there are a LOT more branches that didn't fit in the picture!). Tara added her name to the family tree, came home from convention and immediately began building a team in the Auburn/Opelika area. Since August, her team has exploded resulting in November group net sales of over $4500!!!
If building a business with Usborne is something you desire to do, then promoting to Supervisor is the MOST IMPORTANT step in making that happen. I hope that you are all picking up on the correlation between attending Usborne National Convention and promoting to Supervisor. National Convention in Tulsa is the most motivating, inspiring, and helpful experience that our company offers to set you up for success in your business. So far, every consultant on our team who has attended convention has promoted to Supervisor within the next 5 months!!! But, why wait until June 2011 to get motivated! Set the goal to promote NOW and attend your first convention as a Supervisor! :) LeAnne, Julianne, Tara, and I are here to help you in any way we can! If you desire to promote, let us know and we will help you put a plan in place to make it happen!
Congratulations again, Tara! You are an inspiration to all of us and we are so proud of you!!!
One of the keys to a GREAT year of Usborne sales is making sure you have a GREAT January! If you only focus on the months leading up to Christmas and neglect to look ahead to January, it is really hard to keep up your momentum and, as a result, your business will suffer. Our home office is giving us everything we need to ensure that doesn't happen! In January we can offer hostesses DOUBLE FREE BOOKS with minimum sales of $350!
Not only that, but we can offer Thank You Rewards! The Thank you Reward is an extra $50 or $100 in merchandise allowance (free books) hostesses can redeem at their January parties! When any guest or hostess at a November or December party books a party for January, they can earn:
- an additional $50 in merchandise allowance with a $250 party or
- an additional $100 in merchandise allowance with a $450 party!
This is on top of the double free books!!!

I can't wait to hear about the AMAZING January we are going to have!!!
I hope all of you have had a wonderful week with your families! Happy Thanksgiving!!!! We have so much to be thankful for...including a home business with an amazing company that allows us to put our families first AND provide extra income for our families during a time when so many are struggling to make ends meet!
Here are a couple of exciting highlights from this week...
- Deanna Leras (Auburn, AL) reached Silver in the One-Step-at-a-Time Rewards, which means she gets another $50 in FREE books of her choice!!!
- Joyce Bearden (Opelika, AL) contacted the AMAZING blog SouthernSavers.com (of which I am a HUGE fan) and had an eShow link to her website posted for the Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sale! All the free books from the eShow will go to Toys for Tots!!!
- There is an incredible sale on your websites RIGHT NOW and again on Monday...what a highlight for all of us! Don't miss out on an opportunity for easy web sales...let all your friends and families know!
