The Usborne Success Builders Welcome Their 10th Team Supervisor - Heather Mirman of Mt. Pleasant, SC

2010-05-31T22:13:00.004-04:00

I'm so proud to announce the promotion of the Usborne Success Builders' 10th team supervisor! Heather Mirman, of Mt. Pleasant, SC joins the ranks of other successful Usborne consultants who are now in leadership positions with Usborne Books and More.

I asked Heather why she decided to start her Usborne Books business and why she decided to promote to supervisor, and this is what she said:

"I started with Usborne simply to get the discount. Then I did a home show and a few booths and found I really enjoy talking about the books. I began doing more, and, after a couple of book fairs at full-time day schools, realized I need a team to take full advantage of all the opportunities. The Power of III program also helped me decide to promote now rather than later. I'm excited about starting this new chapter in my Usborne career."

Contact Heather here for more information on joining her successful Usborne team or for more information on Usborne Books.

Usborne Success Builders Raise $1,000 In Books For MUSC Children's Hospital's Happy Wheels Cart

2010-02-21T12:34:00.007-05:00

The Usborne Success Builders team led by Supervisor Paige Bickar has partnered with MUSC Children's Volunteer Services to raise books for the Happy Wheels cart. Happy Wheels is a cart that volunteers roll around MUSC Children's Hospital once a week to brighten the day of a child. The volunteers help children choose a book or a toy.

Last week members of the Usborne Success Builders team hosted a bookfair to help raise books for the Happy Wheels cart. Thanks to many generous people who purchased books, the Happy Wheels cart earned $1,000 in books to add to their cart to give to children at MUSC!

If you would like to support the MUSC Happy Wheels cart you can do so by purchasing books on thier online efair at www.ubah.com/BF37427. Usborne Books will match your purchase by 50% to donate books to the Happy Wheels cart. Purchase one of two ways:

1. purchase books for the children in your life and have them shipped to you.

2. purchase books for the Happy Wheels cart itself and have your order "held" with the bookfair. Those books will go directly to the Happy Wheels cart.

Both options receive the 50% match by Usborne Books which increases your donation.

For more information on this program email Paige Bickar at paigebickar@knology.net.

Usborne Success Builders Team Has 900% Increase In January 2010 Sales Over January 2009 Sales

2010-02-09T19:13:00.003-05:00

The Usborne Success Builders Team is making books fly off the shelves at the Usborne Books and More home office ware house. The team saw a 900%, yes that is 900%, increase in sales for January 2010 over their sales in January 2009. That means they also had a 900% increase in giving FREE books to families, schools and organizations who earned them.

Part of the reason for the big increase is the evergrowing team. The Usborne Success Builders is a quick growing team that is spreading across the United States - especially in the southeast in South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina. This is an incredible business opportunity that is creating extra income for many families who are feeling this economic crunch.

Another reason is parents, children, schools, and librarians love Usborne Books and the economy is not affecting our company at all. In fact, with our Literacy for a Lifetime 50% matching grant program, book fair program, reading incentive program, and generous hostess rewards, families and organizations are able to earn lots of FREE books. Everyone loves FREE books!

For more information on becoming an Usborne Success Builder or for information on our FREE book programs contact team leader Kristie Glascock at usbornesuccessbuilders@myubah.com.

The Usborne Success Builders Welcome New Supervisor Jennifer Caston

2010-02-02T21:51:00.000-05:00

The Usborne Success Builders welcomes yet another supervisor to it's fast growing team - Jennifer Caston. Jennifer, of Charleston, SC, started with Usborne in November 2009, and immediately started booking events! She booked so much on her calendar that she immediately had the sales and the team members to become a supervisor while still in her incentive period. In the world of Usborne, when that happens, that is considered MACH 10ing. Jennifer has earned membership into the prestigious President's Club (a distinct club of top Usborne consultants in the USA). Jennnifer is on her way to a great career with Usborne Books and More!

For more information on joining Jennifer's Usborne team you may email her at ugadock@aol.com or visit here.

Usborne Success Builders See HUGE Success in 2009

2009-12-31T00:27:00.000-05:00

The Usborne Success Builders had an incredibly successful year in 2009! We had a 100% increase in sales, added 86 team members from 18 different states across the USA, and added 5 new supervisors to the team! Wow! Team leader, Kristie Glascock, also promoted up two levels to Executive Supervisor.

During a time when the economy has been slow, our team has thrived because parents AND kids LOVE Usborne Books. We also have a variety of different avenues at which to provide books to the community. Unlike other home businesses, home shows is not the only way Usborne consultants can sell books to earn income.

Tax revenue is down, thus funding for schools is down. Usborne's Literacy for a Lifetime program benefits schools by matching any donation or grant funding by 50%. This has been a great source for books in the Charleston area as well as other areas across the country. Between the Literacy for a Lifetime program and doing book fairs, Usborne Success Builders raised over $34,000 in FREE books for schools and organizations in their community! If you would like to earn FREE Usborne books email Kristie Glascock at usbornesuccessbuilders@yahoo.com, and she will put you in touch with a local Usborne consultant who can help you.

As I mentioned earlier, the Usborne Success Builders added 5 new supervisors to its team. They are:

Paige Bickar of Charleston, SC: Paige joined Usborne Books and More in August of 2009. She quickly began booking events and building a team. She started out so well, that she achieved EVERY award Usborne offers during their incentive period and promoted to supervisor during her incentive period. (Incentive period is your first three months in the business) By promoting to supevisor in her incentive period Paige earned the Mach 10 award and is now a member of the prestigious President's Club. The President's Club is a club of the TOP producers in Usborne Books and More, and they are selected to help set policy for the company.

Brandi Wilkinson of Summerville, SC: Brandi joined Usborne Books and More in September of 2006. She has been a steady consultant on the Usborne Success Builders Team through the years. She had great success at building her team up this fall and jumped on the idea of promoting to supervisor when she saw that it was possible. Brandi is someone who proves that "sticking with it" pays off.

Libby Smith of Daniel Island, SC: Libby joined Usborne Books and More in July of 2009. Libby was so excited that she was able to earn free books each time she had someone join her Usborne Books team while she was in her incentive period, that she had eight new people join her team. With all those new team members and all the events that Libby works, it was only natural that Libby would promote to supervisor. Libby has added a lot of energy to the Usborne Success Builders team!

Elizabeth McCravy of North Charleston, SC: Elizabeth joined Usborne Books and More in August of 2009. As soon as she found out what the requirements were to become a supervisor, she said "Oh, that's easy. I'm going to promote by January 1!" And that she did. Elizabeth joins Paige at becoming a Mach 10 Supervisor and a member of the Presiden'ts Club. She too achieved EVERY award possible during her incentive period!

Marcya Burton of Savannah, GA: Marcya joined Usborne Books and More in January of 2009. She immediately started booking events and wanted to promoted to supervisor. She built her team up over the course of 2009 and at the end of Dec was able to promote to supervisor.

Looking forward to seeing what 2010 will bring for this amazing Usborne team!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE USBORNE SUCCESS BUILDERS TEAM!

Usborne Books Make Great Christmas Gifts - You Can Find Them At The Dickens Christmas Show in Myrtle Beach, SC Nov. 12 - 15, 20009

2009-11-11T11:32:00.003-05:00

Kids LOVE books. Instead of purchasing toys that kids eventually get bored with, why not get some great Usborne Books for the little ones on your list. Usborne provides wonderful educational books that enthrall kids from birth on up thru jr. high.

If you are in North Carolina or South Carolina, stop on by the Usborne Books booth at the Dickens Christmas Show in Myrtle Beach, SC Nov. 12 -15, 2009. There you will find a wide array of what Usborne has to offer. You can see the books first hand, touch them, and even save on shipping as you won't have to order online.

If you've never been to the Dickens Christmas Show it's a real treat. Shop in 19th century style (hence the name Dickens Show). Vendors and booths are dressed and decorated in that time era. It makes for a very festive shopping experience. And you can get all your holiday shopping done in one place and in one weekend.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Usborne Books will be at the Coastal Carolina Fair in Ladson, SC

2009-10-26T01:05:00.004-04:00

Once again you will be able to find your favorite Usborne Books at the Coastal Carolina Fair in Ladson, SC. The fair runs Oct. 29 - Nov. 7th. You can find us in the commercial exhibits building. We've always been right behind the DHEC exhibit, but I have been told Verizon will be in DHEC's spot this year. So look for us in our usual spot, but behind Verizon Wireless.

As in past years, we will be giving away $50 in FREE Usborne books of your choice at the end of the fair. Make sure you stop on by and register.

You can also set up to earn FREE books by having a local consultant do a home book party for you. Visit us to learn more about how your organization or school can maximize your grant and donation funds through our Literacy for a Lifetime Program. Or come on by and learn more about how you can join the Usborne Success Builder Team and start your own Usborne Books home business.

It's a great time to be at the fair. See you there!

Usborne Books will be at the 2009 South Carolina State Fair!

2009-10-11T13:17:00.005-04:00

I wish I could say "You can tell it's fair season here in South Carolina, because it's starting to cool off.", BUT that is not the case this year. If I didn't know any better I'd think it were July. Hopefully our nice fall weather will be here in time for when the 2009 South Carolina State Fair opens.

Once again, you will find Usborne Books and More at the 2009 South Carolina State Fair. We will be in the same spot we were last year - close to the middle of the Hampton Building. If you walk into the Hampton Building from where the space rocket is, we are down the two left aisles.

As usual, we will have a great display of Usborne Books that you can purchase. We have lots of new titles and lots of neat books that'll make great fair souveniers for the little ones. Lots of people even get their Christmas shopping done.

You can also talk with a local Usborne consultant about earning free books by hosting an in home book show, how we can help your school earn free books, our 50% Matching grant program. You can also talk with her, or him, about joining the Usborne Success Builder Team and having your own Usborne Books and More business.

Looking forward to see lots of you at the fair!

Usborne Books & More Consultant Spotlight - Brandi Wilkinson of Summerville, SC

2009-10-06T22:05:00.012-04:00

Each week we will have an Usborne Books & More Consultant Spotlight. What's a consultant spotlight you ask? It's where I share with you a little about a particular Usborne Books consultant that is on the Usborne Success Builders team. I will focus on what makes them so great as an Usborne Books consultant and how they can help you with what you need from Usborne - whether it's a homeshow, book fair, e-show, or to get started with your own Usborne Books business. I was trying to figure out how to be fair in who I chose to spotlight each week, so I decided to do it in order of who has joined my team.

With that said, let me introduce to you the longest serving Usborne Success Builder, after me, of course. Brandi Wilkinson joined Usborne Books in September of 2006. She is very smart and researched every home-based business available so that she could be assured she was making the right choice not only for herself, but for her family. When I asked Brandi what made her decide on Usborne Books over all the other home business opportunities out there, this is what she said: "In all my research about starting a successful home business the advice I found most was to choose a product you really believe in, and after finding Usborne, I knew these books were something I could believe in. Then, knowing that I could do book fairs and I wouldn't be limited to home shows finalized my decision to go with Usborne."

Something that is very unique about Brandi is her perserverence in this business. Nothing stops her. She has three girls, some with special needs, and her husband, who is in the air force, has been sent to Iraq I don't know how many times in the past few years. She has taken all this in stride, deals with it, and keeps on going. She is truly amazing!

With all that is going on, Brandi has been able to stay focused on her business. I will tell you she has a fantastic percentage at online e-shows. So if you are interested in earning FREE books for your family by hosting an online e-show, Brandi is your consultant. She also does homeshows, book fairs, and local booth events.

Ask Brandi why a particular book would be good for a specific child, and she can rattle off so much product information! This gal knows her books! She also knows which books are good for specific children; such as kids with autism, or speech impediments.

Working these past three years with Brandi has been a joy. She was with me when I first promoted to supervisor. She was at the booths when our booths were small, and we were the only vendor out in a field with no tent. Mind you, we probably sold more than any of the other vendors that day. She was the one who searched and found neat events for us to do to help us build our businesses. Brandi is someone who "sticks with it". It is those people who "stick with it" that are successful in this great Usborne Books and More business.

If you'd like to contact Brandi, you may email her at brandibooks@yahoo.com. If you'd like to set up an e-show on her site, you my do so here. For more information on joining Brandi's team as an Usborne Books consultant, click here.

Despite The Sluggish Economy People Are Still Buying Usborne Books - And Lots of Them!

2009-09-30T19:48:00.008-04:00

People who love to put books into the hands of their children have not stopped due to the still sluggish economy. In fact, it seems as though more and more people are spending their money on getting good, quality Usborne books for their kids. How do I know that? While other companies are struggling to make ends meet, and some home based businesses have shut their doors, Usborne Books and More's sales continue to increase!

I have seen for myself the major increase in sales just in my own community of Charleston, SC. In fact, in September the Usborne Success Builder team tripled, yes I said tripled, the amount of books they sold compared to last September. Home show sales are up, book fair sales are up, and web sales are up. And the neat thing about that is Usborne gives away LOTS of FREE books. So that means the Usborne Success Builders have given out thrice the amount of FREE books this September too!

It's a great time to be a part of Usborne Books and More!

Introducing the Usborne Success Builders

2009-09-28T21:15:00.011-04:00

The Usborne Success Builders is a team of Usborne Books and More consultants led by Supervisor Kristie Glascock. With consultants in over 14 states, the team is one of Usborne's fastest growing teams and is spreading literacy across the USA.

It's an exciting time to be a part of this growing team. Each weekend the team is out at many local festivals and events promoting not only their business, but also promoting how families, schools, and organizations can earn FREE books with many of Usborne's literacy programs. During the week, you find many team members at families homes, at preschools, meeting with media specialists, and even your local realtor. The possibilities to promote literacy are endless with Usborne, and each Usborne Success Builder takes that resposibility seriously.

It is with great pride, that I introduce the Usborne Success Builders own team blog. This is a place where people can get to know these great team members, see what they are doing in your community, and to share the great way that Usborne Books and More is impacting literacy in America.
