How to Join Origami Owl with my Team Haute Parliament in 2014!!

by

I have potential Origami Owl designers  asking “Are you accepting new designers on your team?” and “Can you be my Mentor?” And my answer is, “Why, yes and yes =)

But don’t just take my word for it!  As with anything, first, get to know me as I’d like to get to know you.  Joining Origami Owl is a huge deal.  Choosing  who you join with (your Mentor) is even a bigger deal!

It isn’t like we’re getting married or anything, or is it? 😉  Actually, once you have chosen a Mentor, you are together forever for your entire* Origami Owl life! So choose wisely or forever hold your piece.

So then, where do we go from here?
STEP 1: See if you like me.  Take a look at my postings on my Facebook Page, and watch some videos on my YouTube Channel.  You will get a feel if I am the type of person that can – not only be your Mentor – but be someone you can easily connect and talk to.

STEP 2: Get a hold of me!  There are so many ways to get a hold of me, pick one!

STEP 3:  Choose 1 of the following:

Option A.

For whatever reason, you didn’t like me.  (Totally fine. Not everyone is for everyone).  At this point, you would continue your search for another Mentor.  Research for a Mentor. I have provided tips on how to do that at  http://www.locketsandcharms.com/what-is-a-mentor-and-how-do-i-choose-one-for-my-origami-owl-independent-designer-business/.  There are so many amazing Independent Designers in this company that would love to have you.  You simply have to love them back. I would be even glad to help you find your perfect match – and no, I don’t recommend based on my benefit and only the amazing ones inside my team.  I seriously want you to find your perfect Mentor.  There are waaaaay too many people in this world who don’t like who they work with and your Origami Owl Mentor should not have to be one of them too =) Simply do some due diligence and you are all good.

Option B.

You tell me, “I choose you Pikachu!” and we are off to soar in high places!  We reconnect, we do a more in-depth interview of each other to reveal your dreams and goals and expectations.  I give you a bit of a run down of how I work and what I do (http://www.locketsandcharms.com/what-does-jennylou-raya-origami-owl-independent-designer-do-for-her-team/ ) and if you are still liking me after all that, and still want to join with me, then I encourage you  to Join Our Team Haute Parliament.

STEP 4: Get Ready to take action. Once you are registered as one of my Independent Designers, fear not, for you will hear from me again and again and again.  Don’t worry, I won’t hound you but I do stay consistent in staying true to my promise and what I have told you I will do for you.  I will not be that one you sing up with and never hear from again 😉  I send out a ‘Welcome to the Team’ email at first site, Team Tuesday emails every other week or so will follow that contain marketing tips and words that I hope will inspire you to learn and grow. I will then, send out invites to my private Origami Owl FB groups for those that are on FB.  But for those not online, no worries; I still do random phone calls and messages of encouragement, “greeting/hello” cards, offers to train you over the phone or face to face to those who have chosen to join with me.  Some trainings are done via email that say on the bottom, “After you have read this, please let me know so that I may send you the next one.”  And even If you don’t ever want to connect, know that you will still reap the benefits from being part of the team.
*** So that is it…that is how you Join Our Team Haute Parliament., Mentor of Team Haute Parliament ID #1186. ***

 

 

Are you ready Origami Owl stairs

 

 

Remember, just as companies interview people before considering them for the job, interview for your future mentor because they will be working for you and with you.  Origami Owl pays Mentors overrides for mentoring, so why not get a good one on their dime?  Get on the phone or grab a cup of coffee with potential mentors and see if you two jive.  You may jive with someone across the nation more than the one in your own home town!

Not ready to join yet?  Totally fine,  Let me know if I interest you in any bit and I would love to add you to my ‘Team Haute Parliament Q & A,’ Facebook Group, a place were those not sure about o2 but would like to stick around can gather and ask their questions.

Yes, it’s true in general…

Good Things Come to those who wait

But remember…. if you’re like me who waited 2 months before joining, you will always be wishing you have joined right away.

And to anyone reading this, my hope for you is NOT this:One Year from Now Origami Owl

Because you did start today!

 

 

* Origami Owl will not change your Mentor to someone else after 10 days of being with Origami Owl – unless for extreme circumstances. Please see Policies and Procedures for details.  You not liking him or her is not enough reason for Origami Owl to change you from your Mentor to anotheer. So, choose wisely 🙂

 

 

xoxo,

Designer in Waiting To Do List

by

UPDATE: Thursday, January 3rd will be the next release date for our Designers in Waiting (DIW).

I love lists.  I don’t always follow them but I do feel better knowing that I have some kind of order going when taking on a project.  This is my list for you. I learned through trial and error and experience and here I share them with you.

I assume that you are already a ‘Designer in Waiting;’ in other words, you have joined the Origami Owl wait list.  The average wait is 2 months.  It sounds like forever but there is plenty to do to pass the time.

BEFORE

you receive your Acceptance Letter and paid for your Launch Kit

 

 

1.  READ READ READ…  the Official Company guide on DESIGNERS DO & DONT list and the DIW_FAQs.

If you have not already, read the Polices and Procedures as well. Every company has guidelines (for their affiliates/reps/distributors) and knowing the policies and procedures saves you a lot of time and money.  I cannot stress enough how important reading the P&P is.  Please read it first before going forward.

As a DIW, you should have already received and read the following from your chosen Mentor:

Designer Opportunity, Career Plan, The O2 Difference, Getting Started Checklist.  Also, find out of Origami Owl training calls for DIW and Team Calls.

If you haven’t chosen a Mentor, find one.  This is the only business where you can choose your “Boss.”  Don’t take it lightly. Ask around. Send some emails. A non-existent or “bad” mentor won’t necessarily break your business but he or she won’t help it either.  While on the wait list, you still have the freedom to look for one.  The Designer ID you put in when your entry to Origami Owl arrives in your mailbox becomes your Mentor for all your Origami Owl life  – no matter what.  You cannot change Mentors once you are in, so choose wisely!

 

2.  Decide on the package you will invest in when your entry comes up.  See options for Origami Owl Business Kits Launch Packages and decide on yours.

Need help deciding? Read my opinion post here: http://www.locketsandcharms.com/which-origami-owl-package-should-i-get/


3.  Start building your “Jewelry Bar” based on your Launch Kit.  This is your table that shows your Origami Owl jewelry in people’s homes, vendor events, and in your home.  It can be big or it can be small.  It is up to you.  Check out my ‘Resource’ page for Jewelry Bar ideas (under construction).

 

4.  Host an Origami Owl Party while you wait.  Read and take advantage of the New Hostess Program.  You can host a jewelry bar with a local Designer, or with your future-Mentor if he or she is nearby.  If you do not have a local Designer or if your future-Mentor is far away, you can host a catalog/online party.  This may sound counter-intuitive but here are the benefits of Hosting: You earn the Hostess Rewards (FREE O2 for you), you can promote that you are a future designer at your party, your friends and family will learn of the business opportunity and you start growing a team,  and you can start booking future parties.  Not having a party now can actually limit your future business.

 

5.  Share with others about Origami Owl.  You cannot sell for the company at this point but you may introduce people to Origami Owl by inviting them to your party, sharing your locket, and casually posting about it like you post about everything else. Do not spam or annoy people – you will push them away.  Simply “share” and be a normal and social person.  If people are interested, they will ask you for more information.

 

AFTER

you receive your Acceptance Letter and paid for your Launch Kit

1.  READ READ READ…  Designer Handbook, New Designer Checklist, Designer Back Office.  These will keep you focused on the most important things to do while you wait for your kit to arrive.  You get these files from your Mentor you signed up with by entering their ID # in your Acceptance Letter.  If you have never spoken to your Mentor (the person you signed up under, now is the time!)  They will be making money off of you doing your job, so make them earn it by doing theirs 😉  If you did not sign up with Designer’s # for your Mentor, the Company will randomly assign one to you.  It may take a couple of weeks before getting one.

 

2.  Followup with those that expressed interest in booking a party, as well as people that expressed interest in joining Origami Owl with you as their Mentor.  It is never too early to be someone’s Mentor.  You only need to be dedicated to their success as much as they are to their own and provide them the guidance they need before and after they are with Origami Owl.

 

3.  Book parties aka Jewelry Bars.  This is the life line of your business.  We would all love it if business came to us but the reality is that this is work –  NetWORKing.  We all must work.  There are several ways to do this and that would be a whole other post, several book recommendations, etc.

 

Simply focus on what I have written above.  A strong and informed DIW make for a strong Designer.  A strong Designer make for a strong business and a strong leader.  And the cycle continues…. If you want a strong team, be able to do what I have stated here and have others do the same.
