I think that maths one that was on offer recently looks fantastic!!! I should have bought it really.... but thought i could if I become an organiser - just still not sure.

Yes I've sold loads of the Junior Maths Dictionary at half price. It's still available at that price for a while. It is fab!

What's holding you back katskorner?

katskorner

my last experience of network marketing and also that there seem to be a fair few organisers local to me.

Doesnt matter if there are organisors right on your door step, they arent you !! There will be something that makes you unique, if someone has been there before you that just makes YOUR job easier as the Usborne name and product is already out there ! (im amazed how many people havent heard of them )

Dont be put off by other sellers, and in my experience Usborne are very different to other direct selling companies

Hi. In what way are they different? I am interested to know what you think. Thanks.

Ive sent you a PM, but I personally find the approach to Usborne differs mainly due to the product, its unique, top quality and really does sell itself ! I NEVER feel like I have to make sales - I give advice on the books and explain the benefits to each but its so much easier than having a product I need to promote.
Children love books + parents love children, its not about MAKING them love it by persuasion. If that makes any sense ??

One of my downline lives 200 yards from me. Apart from me lending her stock/ stands our paths never cross.

If you look at how many nurseries, playgroups and primary schools there are in a 10 mile radius of where you live, you will see that there could be 50 organisers local to you and you still couldnt cover the whole area.

The maths dictionary is still on special offer, and you get the other maths dictionary in your starter kit this month !

I'm amazed that lots of my friends with children haven't heard of Usborne books!

I'd say that when I was looking at this type of work opportunity, I felt as though the people who I spoke to about Usborne were much warmer and more of a community - I really feel that everyone is out to help each other and support and encourage, which I never experienced when looking into the other companies.

Also, the products aren't "luxury" items as such; yes the books are beautiful and wonderful to read and play with, but children always need books, and there are always lots of children to buy for! With other companies that sell make-up, jewellery, gadgets, etc, the products you're trying to sell are the kind of thing that you don't "need" to have, you'd just like to!

Another major difference is how you start earning with your very first order - and every order you make, no matter how big or small. I know of some companies where you have to make a certain about before you can start earning and some who place upper limits on how much you can earn. With Usborne it is very straigh-forward and there are no caps or targets.
