Just a quick one (i'm going to contact the lady who i have been assigned today). When you do a community book pledge - do you just contact the local companies and ask them to buy anything from 1 book upwards and then say its for your nominated school ?

Get a letter from the school explaining what you are doing and that is pretty much it! Good luck!

I think last day is next Thursday. Mrs MW do you want to pm me the name of your upline and I'll see if I know them and have all their details for you? Seems like a long time for them to go without contacting you?

Fab stuff MrsMW.

Lovely here! Qualified already this month so happy, happy!

Hi All . . Me (again - I hear you say)

Something has just sprung to my mind - If I sell from my initial stock that Usborne sent me, then how do i pay for it ??

You get to keep every single penny, those are your books.

Oh Lordy (me again)

I am panicing like mad - I have got an order (my first order) on hold as i'm just waiting on one more customer, however, this morning I have changed my password and now its not letting me in on either one . . Do I just phone customer services ??

Phew, panic over, a quick call to them sorted it out !!

Let me guess...you changed your password to one that is more than 6 letters long?

Caroline73_2

LOL, it's a common mistake. When choosing a password it lets you enter more than 6 letters, but only recognises the first six. You were not the first person to do it!!!!

Hello ladies!! I am/was..an Usborne Rep and have decided to give it up. Basically I have about 3 or 4 boxes of books sitting in my porch and want rid!!!!!!! Spent about £400 on them with the 60% free so have about £600 - £700 worth (minus the ones I managed to sell) if you are interested in seeing a list please PM me, and I am in the North East, Newcastle.

Cheers

Tell her that you are feeling alone, and would like a bit more support. Some recruits don't want any contact at all, and it is quite hard for the recruiter to know what level of contact you want.

Personally I tell recruits what I do (weekly contact through their FS period and then after that it is up to them to contact me) and we can negotiate from there. The problem is if you contact a recruit and they don't want it - you get 'I left Usborne because my upline was so pushy' Pushy and supportive is a fine line.

Just let her know how you feel and go from there. If you still have problems then go to their upline, which you can view on your genealogy.

We had arranged for her to contact me but snce then I havent heard anything.

I don't want to go behind her back but I do need some support as there is only so much reading the information on the site. I did make it clear that I was very happy to speak with her and speaking to her was a boost for me.

On the other hand, I do hope that everything is ok with her and wouldn't like to charge in there, like a bull in a china shop.

I will email her again and ask if everything is ok with her.

How have you got on?
