We love hearing from our prize winners about their bookselling business and what motivates them to aim for our incentives.
Gaynor Jones (Ravenhill Readers) was one of our overall winners of the 250 Club last year and was invited to attend a celebratory day out in Oxford earlier this year as a reward. π€©
Here's what Gaynor Jones said after being picked as a monthly wheelspin winner for the 300 Club in July...
"I was thrilled to receive my goody bag! The 300 Club has definitely given me more incentive to achieve the sales every month. I enjoyed the afternoon tea in Oxford so much, I want to be eligible for winning it again!"
The 300 Club is all about consistent sales. So when it comes to top tips, Gaynor said: "Know your books! If you can talk to customers with first-hand experience of using and enjoying the books with your children, then you will come across as more trustworthy, and don't forget to smile!" π
Gaynor has proudly totted up more than 20 years as an Independent Usborne Partner at different stages of her life. She explained: "I decided to become an Independent Usborne Partner as it offered the flexibility of working from home when I had a young family. I've enjoyed it so much, that I've joined the company three times now. When my life took different directions over the past 37 years, Usborne has flexed and fitted around my other commitments perfectly each time! π
One of the best things about being a Partner is the friendships I have built up with like-minded people all over the country. We regularly chat on online groups about Usborne and other things, so when we meet up at events, it really is like an extended family." π
Keep up the amazing work, Gaynor!
