My Usborne Story




Hi! I'm Lynne Urso, and I live in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts with my husband Jim and our three daughters Chelsea, Olivia, and Liliana.  Shortly before Liliana was born in 1994, I decided that I wanted to stay home full-time, so I left my job as a financial analyst with McDonald's (yup, the hamburger folks).

We needed a second income, so I took a part-time job in the retail industry.  The job provided a second income again, but I had to work nights and weekends, which meant time away from my family.  There were plenty of nights when I would leave for work just as Jim was getting home.

I was introduced to Usborne Books at a friend's house in late 1996.  My daughters were fighting over the books so I asked my friend where she had gotten them.  She told me that she had been to an Usborne Books home show.  I asked her if she could have a home show, because I HAD to get some of these books myself.

My friend had her home show, and when I saw all of the books that she got for free, I booked a show of my own.  I was a little nervous, since I had never hosted any sort of home party, but when I thought of all the books I could earn, I knew that I just had to do it.

The night of my home show, the Usborne consultant called and said that she was sick and would not be able to come to my show.  I thought about canceling the show, but knew that if I did, I would probably never reschedule it.  I borrowed some of her books and presented the books myself.  I had over $500 in sales and earned quite a few free books, but as I was totaling orders, I was shocked at the commission that the consultant had made on my show, without even being present!  It was then that I knew that I had to join this business.

I signed on as an Usborne consultant in February 1997, promoted to Supervisor in September 1997, Executive Supervisor in November 2003 and Senior Executive Supervisor in November 2005.   I was #1 in the country for monthly personal sales in December 1997, October 1999, September 2001 and October 2002. My team has continued to grow and we are consistently among the top 10 groups in monthly sales.

My team members and I have earned national awards at Usborne Books National Conventions held every summer.   Click here for more details.

Through company-sponsored travel contests, I have been able to earn trips to London, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Rome, the Bahamas, two Alaskan cruises and most recently a Hawaiian cruise.

My team has continued to grow, and I currently have over 600 people in my downline group spread across the country in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, California and Washington.

Usborne Books has given me the opportunity to earn a good income without sacrificing time with my family.   Since this is MY business, I get out of it exactly what I put into it.  I can work my events (home shows, book fairs, etc.) around my and my family's schedule, which means I can work when I want.  All three of my daughters are now in high school (with the oldest heading off to college soon), and they are all athletes   The flexibility of my Usborne business allows me to be able to attend all of their sporting events and still run my business.

You too can enjoy the success that I have had with Usborne Books & More.  I'd love to have you join my team. Check out my information pages to learn more and find out how you can join this exciting company.
