Spring is in full swing! There are LOTS of exciting events on our calendars the next 2 months! It has been great to talk to several of you this week & hear about all the fun things you have coming up...April should be a GREAT month!!! Here are some highlights from this week...
  • Tara Maple, Jessica Wood, LeAnne Haynes, Julianne Carney, and I are all registered for convention! Who else is going to join us!?! :)
  • Jessica Wood (Leighton, AL) is still in her incentive period and had $1,654.82 in net sales this month!
  • Julianne Carney (Collierville, TN) booked 4 booths for April...3 conferences & an event at one of her preschools!
  • Tara Maple (Opelika, AL) booked 2 home parties & 2 book fairs AND had a new consultant join her team! Welcome Tricia Brooks (Tallassee, AL)!
  • NEW HIGHLIGHT...Jessica Wood is one of the convention early bird registration winners! Her prize!?! She has a reserved seat next to our President & CEO, Randall White, at the Saturday luncheon!!! Congratulations, Jessica!!!
I know that we are busy with our spring events, but don't neglect looking ahead and getting events on your calendars for the fall. Here is a good tip from Julianne...scout out fall conferences & booth events in your area NOW before they get snatched up and so you can take advantage of early bird booth rates! Remember our booth policy...make sure the event you want to book wasn't covered by an Usborne consultant last year. If it was, she gets first dibs. The great thing about that is once you have a booth at an event, it is YOURS until you decide you don't want to do it anymore! :)

If you are still on the fence about convention, please talk to me, LeAnne, Julianne, or Tara. We have all attended convention and it has had a MAJOR IMPACT on all of our businesses!!! We would love to talk with you & answer any questions you have!
