Show Me The $$$
a.k.a. How to make your Usborne Books at Home Business A Profitable One
by Susan Wandishin

 


1. Work all aspects of your business.

One of the great things about this business is its versatility. If you are diversified, you will be in better shape when some parts of the business slack. These aspects include: home shows, booths, book fairs, web sales, school and library sales, and direct sales.

2. Keep home shows as the backbone of your business.

This is the best way to meet lots of people from different groups and give them a wonderful introduction to UBAH. Never forget to do the customer survey and then make sure you follow up all the leads (no matter how tiresome or far-fetched they seem).

3. RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT!!

You love doing this, right? Give others the opportunity to decide that it might be for them, too. It is so much fun to share UBAH with other people. It also greatly increases the bottom line. You can either work 10 times as hard, or share the business with ten other people (much more manageable). So, show people that this is easy, profitable and fun; then, invite them to do it too.

4. Pick up the phone.

When I was a teenager, my mother used to tell me to get off the phone. I’m telling you to get on the phone. Call everyone you know. Ask people to have a home show to show their friends these awesome books. Ask people if they are interested in making extra money, having quality books for their children, all while working from home. If they say no, ask for referrals.

5. Open the phone book.

Start calling schools, libraries and day cares. Begin with places that you know someone, or have a referral. After that, make cold calls. Go to your upline for help on what to say.

6. The 3 A’s: Advertise, Attitude & Approach.

Advertise your business. Get out to places there are parents and talk about it as much as possible. Ask people what they do, because then they will ask you. Be prepared with your 30 second commercial. Have a wonderful attitude about UBAH. If you are excited, other people will see that and want to be a part of that positive feeling. Approach people by stretching your comfort zone. Be confident in what you are doing and people will be pleased that you approached them about UBAH.

7. Set goals.

Decide what you want out of your business. Then set goals for yourself; make them difficult, but not impossible. Figure out (with your supervisor’s help, if need be) EXACTLY how to achieve your goals. Then, set more goals.

8. Never quit.

This may sound overwhelming, but this business is not a get-rich-quick scheme. However, it can be VERY, VERY PROFITABLE. It takes consistent work and recruiting. Build your own team and keep your business going and you will be amazed at the potential results you can get from working at home.
If you can achieve these things, this could be you!!!
