Experienced Usborne Books Leader, offering personal shopping advice to my customers and support to a team of likeminded people making a difference putting Usborne's award winning books into the hands of children, parents and teachers. She also picked up an information pack about starting your own home-based business selling these wonderful books. As an ex teacher, passionate about children’s education I was immediately hooked. The low start up cost helped too. I really had nothing to lose! I sell the books through home parties, toddler groups, fetes and fairs and also school, a real mixture of events. I like the variety that it offers, but also the flexibility. I still run home parties with the starter kit, so there is no need to buy in extra stock. The commission rates are great and can be built up in stages from day one, you are in control of your own destiny. There are no targets, but some great incentives. I have been lucky enough to travel to some wonderful places, Monaco, Mexico and Italy! The flexibility means that I can be around for my children. However, the best bit of this job is looking at the faces of children who have just received that brand new book they want and knowing that I am, book by book, making a difference to children’s education.
