be very careful about doing two ventures together, there are certain rules about working for two DSA's. You may find it easier to concentrate on one thing.

What rules ? Can you post a link to them?

I agree with Lesley - you will be much more successful doing one and concentrating on that fully, rather than doing two half heartedly .

If you are looking at both, I'd suggest you join with the company that you are more passionate about their product. If you love the product, your enthusiasm and excitement will make it easier to sell

Good luck and let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for everyones advice!!

You don't really have much to lose. You have 14 days to change your mind.... so if you get the kit, and decide it's not for you, you can return your kit and get a full refund.

Good luck!!!

In the current climate with companies falling by the wayside. IMHO its not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket.

Nice little advertorial. Why cant someone work for another Direct Selling Association member where does it say that ? in Usbornes contract ?

Yes it's in Usborne's handbook/contract.

"As an Usborne Organiser you are not allowed to promote or sell any other books or similarly competitive products (1) while representing Usborne, nor to recruit anyone else to do so. Failure to comply with this code of conduct is considered by the company to be prejudicial to the company’s interests (as per the current Organiser Agreement). Usborne Organisers should identify themselves as such, and must not represent any other similar product at the same time.

1 “Similarly competitive” should be construed as any product that, although not branded as such, might reasonably be considered by a passing customer as being part of the Usborne range - e.g. cards, games, toys, pre-school activities. While other more unlikely items (e.g. home-made crafts, telephonics) might not be judged to be “similar”, in the company’s opinion they may still be incompatible and/or prejudicial to the brand of Usborne, under the terms of the
Organiser Agreement and Handbook."

I agree totally! The reason i have chosen Usborne Books is because i am passionate about books and child development/learning. I am also Level 3 qualified in Childcare Learning and Development.

This should make it easier for my promote and sell.
