What is Usborne Books At Home (UBAH) and what does a UBAH Consultant do?
Usborne Books At Home (UBAH) is the network marketing division of the Educational Development Corporation, which was recently named one of Fortune Magazine's Top 100 Small Businesses.

Consultants may sell Usborne books via home shows, direct sales, catalog shows, book fairs, fundraisers, community events, craft shows, web sales, and more. Usborne Consultants may also work with Schools and Libraries after additional training.

How much will it cost me to get started?
You start your Usborne business by ordering a starter kit - each month there is a special kit offer that is always a great deal. Click here to see this month's kit details. We also have our large Base kit available every month.

Each kit comes with a variety of books for different ages and interests, plus catalogs, order forms, and other helpful supplies.

I've never sold anything before. Can I still be successful?
Absolutely. The special features and benefits to children help make Usborne Books easy to sell. People love Usborne books - you're simply sharing information about them.

What about quotas? What are my obligations?
With UBAH, there are no monthly or quarterly quotas. The only obligation you have - ever - as a UBAH consultant is to sell (or buy) $85 net (which is about $125 retail), during your first 12 weeks of business. This can be a home show, a collection of orders, or a personal purchase. After that, it's totally up to you! If you go through non-selling periods, you don't lose your consultant benefits. Placing an order simply reactivates you to "active" consultant status.

As a Consultant, can I get the books at a discount? YES! You can get your books wholesale at a 30% discount, and even greater discounts are available if you order during special offers (up to 75% off!) And UBAH offers many options for consultants (especially new consultants) to earn FREE books :)

How much money can I make doing this?
Selling Usborne Books is a great way to generate additional income and contribute to your family in a significant way. The earning potential with UBAH is unlimited!

Commission for home shows is 25% of the retail sales. A home show of $400 in retail sales would give you $100 in profit. Using that example, four home shows a month would give you $400. For direct sales you can earn up to 30% commission. You're also eligible for sales bonuses (3-5%) and awards of free and highly discounted books! You keep your profit the night of your show or event; no waiting for a paycheck - you send only the net amount to the company.

In addition to your commission, you can build your business by sharing this opportunity with others - you get a 4% recruiting bonus starting with their first sale. Decide to promote to supervisor and receive 11% more on your personal sales and the net sales of your group.

Are there too many consultants in my area?
There are less than 10,000 active Usborne consultants in the entire country. Other direct sale companies have 75,000 - 800,000 consultants or more. Now is the time to join UBAH!

Can I accept credit cards?
Yes. And unlike other companies, UBAH provides this service for you. You don't have to become a merchant or pay a fee.

Do I have to pay for the books that my Hostess gets for free?
No - UBAH pays for your hostess free merchandise allowance.

Will I need to buy an inventory of books?
No. Your starter kit comes with an assortment of best-selling titles in a good range of ages and interests. You will use these books to show people the quality and special features, then they will order from the catalog. UBAH will ship the product directly to the hostess, and she distributes the product to her guests. Consultants can build up a personal collection of Usborne books, by ordering at a discount or by hosting their own shows and earning the hostess free books. You can also earn free and highly discounted books through the "One Step At A Time" program!

What is the "One Step At A Time" program?
It's an incredible program to reward you with free and highly discounted books AND cash bonuses during your first 12 weeks of business (your "incentive period"):
