Yesss!! No more wait list for Origami Owl Custom Jewelry! Since yesterday, the 1.5 year long wait list is finally over. You can now join and sign up and days later, you received your Basic Business Package at your door! Hear all about it on my video here that I recorded last night after I heard the news.

A New Year and A New You with Origami Owl Jewelry!

by

Tomorrow, Origami Owl will be inviting 1,500 Independent Designers in to the company. Independent Designers (ID) are those who have the right to sell or represent in the sales of Origami Owl Jewelry. IDs have been waiting an average of 2 months to hear this good news and their wait is soooo very much worth it.

I am 3 weeks short of a year with the company and my journey with them has been pretty darn good!

Why such a long wait? Plain and simple: To keep business strong and steady with a controlled flow on the numbers of Designers coming in. Each time a Designer comes in, it affects supplies as they purchase to sell and as they bring in more customers. The new additions require more support in the Customer side as well an increase of work flow for Designer Care. If they were to let several thousands (I hear it is nearing 10,000 on the wait-list right now), it can become chaotic. Think Black Fridays at Walmarts captured on camera 😉

1,500 Designers coming in at one wave came as a surprise to me. In the past, it has been 250 – 500 Designers each time a wave (or group) is accepted in. This is so awesome to hear for many anxiously waiting, as many did not expect to get in until weeks or even a month from now.

Have you joined the waitlist? You can learn about how it works and and sign up on the waitlist at any Designer’s website. My site is http://locketsandcharms.origamiowl.com/join/how-it-works/

When you are ready to join the waitlist or officially get in the company, make sure to contact that Designer you are signing with, they don’t get an email alert of DIW. If you don’t have a Designer in mind for a Mentor, feel free to keep me in mind. I am Origami Owl Designer #1186.

Are you already on the waitlist?

Check your placement by entering your waitlist code at http://www.origamiowl.com/tools/diw-placement.cfm If you are 980 that means that you are in the first 980 waiting to get in and you will get in tomorrow!!! Contact your future Mentor and ask her for all the materials you can read up and learn now while you wait! Again, she won’t know you are her DIW until you tell her. Contacted her but no response? You can change your future Mentor to another Mentor the day you officially sign up with the company. Once you have entered a Designer as your Mentor upon entry to Origami Owl, it is permanent and can no longer be changed.

To those who are on the waitlist or thinking why should they even join a waitlist? Just think, It is FREE to sign up on the waitlist. You can always decline and there is no penalty, and from those that have been on the wait list and now in with the company, IT IS SO WORTH THE WAIT!

The wait can get better because the time can be used to focus your mindset, make some goals, and even find a Mentor – your direct business partner – that is perfect for you! Once you find “the one Mentor” check in with them and learn EVERYTHING you can learn about the business and how to work the business. Find out what they avail and are offering. I will be starting the publication of Origami Designer Business Tips in video exclusively for those currently in my team and for those that are on the waitlist/ DIW (Designer in Waiting) with me. Stay tuned for more information on that. Hint: It will not be on YouTube.

Give yourself the gift of a new year of possibilities and a new you. I know I did last year on January 24 and I am soooo very glad I did. The small investment in you will forever repay and love you over and over again. Happy New Year!

 

Origami Owl New Year

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.
