To Be or Not to Be an Affiliate with the Think Goodness Company?

by

When you sign up and join to be an Affiliate or Brand Partner with the Think Goodness Company, you have these things in common:

1. Make a commission on every piece or product you sell via your link.

2. The ability to redeem your earned commissions in the form of cash or 2x in product credit.

But do you know…

… how it works?

In this post, I will be highlighting and contrasting the major differences between an Affiliate and a Brand Partner with Think Goodness. And if, perhaps you find that neither of the two options work for you but love all of our products, consider a third option. Read on!

Q: What are the differences between an Affiliate Account + a Brand Partner!?!?

A: oh so many…

📲 AFFLIATE:

  • No fee to apply + no yearly tech fee.
  • 15% commissions {paid weekly} / 15% personal discount
  • No restrictions
  • Not eligible for monthly incentives, perks, trips, bonuses etc
  • Must have at least 1 sale in a year to keep account
  • Can’t sponsor or refer new affiliates
  • log in to back office just like a BP

👉 this account is really meant for influencers who share links

👉 to upgrade to BP, use the Widget or call customer service to have Affiliate account closed. Once closed, purchase BP kit to get started.

💛 BRAND PARTNER:

  • New BP starting commission 35% paid weekly / 35% personal discount. Increase to 40% for life after $3,500 sales {no time limit}.
  • Legacy BP’s 40% commission / personal discount
  • 30% on subscriptions + licensed products
  • ability to earn monthly incentives, perks, trips, bonuses etc
  • unlimited free training, coaching, community
  • $250 Retail minimum sales required every 3 months
  • ability to earn over 3k in product credit your first year {see handbook for new BP Milestone Bonuses}
  • begin with a deeply discounted Product Box {47% – 58% off retail!} for $199

Are you thinking about it?

Maybe I can help.

My personal analysis: Whichever one you choose, consider how you see yourself tied to the company.

If you are interested in sharing one or all of Think Goodness’ line and pretty much no other products else online and offline, become a Brand Partner.

If Think Goodness products are just one of many things you share or talk about in hopes to make a commission and want nothing more, become an Affiliate.

If you prefer a community of “sales reps” that get connected with “sales team leaders” in the field who teach and encourage how to sell the Think Goodness products, becoming a Brand Partner is for you.

If you prefer a hands-off approach by any of the companies you share online and only interested in the potentially passive incomes affiliate links provide and nothing more, becoming an Affiliate is for you.

My statements above is to share with you the two ways to be connected to the Think Goodness Company; as a sales person representing the products or as an online marketer that potentially includes Think Goodness as one of their products mentioned.

Both of these two roles will dictate your approach in sales and play out differently in your day to day duties compared to the other.

Will you be spending your time predominantly sharing Think Goodness products or will you be sharing all of things you have an affiliate link for and maybe Think Goodness products here and there?

If you have not noticed already: Yes, there is a huge difference in % of commissions earned per item sold by a Brand Partner vs. an Affiliate, but the %, in my opinion, ought to be secondary to one’s preferred role with the company and their requirements to remain with them. Lesser contact, the lower the commitment and lower the commission compared to a Brand Partner, but no minimums as an Affiliate.

What I mean by this is… See the % in sales commission as the byproduct of the desired level (or time commitment) with its founders, trainers, and community of fellow Brand Partners and its sales requirements.

With all this said, which one is for you?

How to Stay in Origami Owl? Meet the 199!

by

Lots of new exciting things have just unfolded as far as jewelry and perks for Independent Designers (ID).  There are lots of new eyes looking into becoming an Ind. Designer with Origami Owl.  I have found that one of the most common questions that I have been getting is “What is it to stay in Origami Owl,?” from those who have done Direct Sales before or currently in it now.

To the everyday person, that question might seem a bit off or odd?  Stay in?  Do they kick you out?  Why would they kick you out?

First off, let me just say that Origami Owl doesn’t just “kick you out.”  Secondly, this question refers to sales requirements and not being kicked out due to a clash in personal tastes.

When someone asks “How do I not get kicked out by Origami Owl,” before joining a company, it is mainly because they know that there is usually a minimum sales requirement for one to stay in with a direct sales company.  Direct sale companies can  really differ on these minimum sales requirements. For example, a bag company has a $200 in retail sales requirement every 2 months while a candle company has a $250 in retail sales every three months requirement.

All companies have some kind of standard, protocol, and rules when it comes to the job.  Particularly, in sales and commissioned sales, there is a minimum requirements to perform the job that one has signed up for and that is to sell.  Origami Owl has a 199PV wholesale (PV = retail minus commissions ) which is approximately equal to $250-300 in retail sales, every 6 months.

To meet the 199PV, you would need to sell Origami Owl.  You can gather sales by catalogs and order forms or online sales through one’s Origami Owl website.  Sales of Origami Owl products can be done 1 on 1 with a customer, a group of friends in a Jewelry Bar, or virtually through an online party link that directs sales and commissions to you.  All these ways of selling will go towards your 199PV requirement every 6 months.

 

After I answer this question, the next question from those in direct sales is “How does that 6 months work?  Is it a rolling 6 months?”

For those that have been in direct sales, the rolling time period is pretty simple: accrued sales numbers based on today’s numbers and back to the start of the period that the company counts.  For example, for Origami Owl’s 199pv every 6 months requirement, meeting 199PV by the end of this month (August 31st) is based on the sales of August and all the way back to March 1st.  Next month, the 199PV in the last 6 months will be from April 1st to the end of September.  Each time, one meets the 199PV (from accumulated sales within the 6 months) by the end of the current month’s last day at 11:59PM EST, the ID will be able to sell and stay as an Ind. Designer with Origami Owl the following month.

Let me share an illustration on how this rolling 6 months works as related to Origami Owl:

Let’s say an Ind. Designer (ID) today has 100PV stated in back office. To stay in o2 and not get cut off September 1st, this ID must do 99PV by end of August, bringing up his or her sales to 199PV.

Using the example above, note that August was a 99PV month for the ID, but what about next month at the end of September?  How much would she have to do to stay in with Origami Owl?

The ID would have to look in the back office and see his or her posted 6 month PV (or add up her sales PV for August, July, June, May, April, and March prior to the system calculating it).  Take this number and see how much one needs to sell by the month’s end, which is September 30, 11:59 EST.

 

PV posted in the back will always show you how far away you are from 199PV and staying with Origami Owl. An accrued 199PV in the last 6 months must always be met to stay in and sell for the next month.   If 199PV is not met, an ID will not be able to sell starting the 1st of the following month.  The system automatically shuts out those who do not fulfill this term.  There is no actual person that “kicks you out.”

 

Now that you know what the minimum sales requirement to not get “kicked out” and how the 6 months period works, you may want to know what you can do to not get “kicked out” or make the sales.

My short answer is to  do 1 or 2 jewelry bars in 6 months.  Not into “parties”?  Find 10 – 15 customers to sell to every six months.  (You can do less # of transactions and meet the numbers but I cannot guarantee your customers’ spending with you, so this is a guestimate.)  Any variety of ways to bring in sales processed through you with the Origami Owl system will help you continue with Origami Owl.

Feel free to check out my video I made on how to meet this 199 PV (http://youtu.be/d9Ft-FzpnDo) last year. It is still applicable to today.

 

I think I will leave it here.  I hope you have found this write up and how-to video on how to stay in with Origami Owl.

 

For those not sure if they want to stay in fall off Origami Owl, do consider  Origami Owl’s rule on those that fall off the Origami Owl system:  An ID cannot reenter Origami Owl until he or she has sat out for a full 6 months.  That means, if you drop off because of not meeting the 199 PV at the end of August, you will not be able to reenter or sell Origami Owl until March 1, 2014.  To learn more, ID’s please refer to your Policies and Procedures about this.  Those not in Origami Owl, you may contact me.

Does Origami Owl Have Summer Job Openings or College Internships Available?

by

I was recently asked this question from one of my networking groups: Does Origami Owl Have Summer Job Openings or College Internships Available?

The sales company that I am an Independent Designer for does not offer summer/temporary positions or college internships as we know “internships,” but being an Independent Designer (ID) with the company offers teens and students the flexible work and money making opportunities they need that a summer or temporary job is sought to fill.

Origami Owl is able to offer you that “temporary job” but with so much more.  With Origami Owl, you can hire yourself not only in the summer time but also anytime year round such as Christmas or Spring Break.

This is an amazing opportunity for many reasons: Starting with Origami Owl puts student up front and center with Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Customer Care, Public Relations, and Financial Management for Business as a student engages with Origami Owl as an Independent Designer.

These skills are acquired by women as young as 14years old as they sign up to sell beautiful lockets and charms to friends and family through online, catalog, or in home party sales.  This is a direct sales model where the Independent Designer brings the products to her market of friends and family and beyond.  IDs can purchase wholesale and sell at retail.  They can also direct customers to their personal e-commerce site where one can order right off of it.  If can also do live events with the help of a basic demo package or a larger one where people can take their lockets and charms home the same day.

Yes, this internship pays.  It is commissioned sales and determined by the efforts of the Designer and the demand of their market.  Like I said, not only can a student do this during the summer but also year round on his or her own schedule.  Origami Owl teaches skills, it pays, and it is flixibel.

Lastly, Origami Owl goes where you go.  You can take your lockets to the beach, on vacation, to grandmas, and still make $.  What other internship, summer or temp job can offer all this?

Start Oo today

 

How does one start?  I will tell you how:  If you are below 18 years old, you would need to fill out a Parent Authorization Form after accepting an Independent Designer Invitation from Origami Owl.  You may consider getting started on the process today as there is a wait list to get in (weeks to a month of wait).

You may not get your acceptance letter until it gets closer to Summer.  Sign up at http://locketsandcharms.origamiowl.com/join/how-it-works/.  Please consider entering #1186 (Jennylou Raya) if you would like further assistance and have found my information useful.  After the waitlist, please email me at locketsandcharms@gmail.com so that I may be able to start assisting you in your Origami Owl Ind. Designer business.
