o2 Roadtrip: 20 Cities in 30 Days!

April 24, 2015 by Jennylou

Oops! Did I say 20 days? It is 30 days =)

At the time of this posting, here is what I know:

The Anaheim, CA stop sold out. The next 2 cities are Sacramento, CA on Tuesday and Denver, CO on Wednesday.

OMG, they are driving nonstop or are they flying to these cities? I have no idea.

Let’s back up… what is going on?

The other day, co-founder Chrissy, along with her daughter Bella, announced on a video to their Ind. Designers (recorded from her phone) that she and Bella and a few others from The Nest were going to do a 20-city Tour/Meet & Greet with Ind. Designers from all over the country.

They did not say in the video Wednesday night where but on Thursday, April 23, (which was yesterday) at 4:31pm, it was released on the company’s B Page that the first stop was Anaheim, CA.

Before 11 am this morning, the caption was changed to say “*Although Anaheim is now full we hope to see you on one of our other tour stops!* …

The next 10 cities will be announced on Saturday!”

Today is still Friday – oops did I just let you know about the next 2 cities a little too early? Well, don’t blame me. It was Chrissy who leaked that information on her private Instagram account 😉

Here is all the info I have:

Next Stop…Sacramento where you will meet Bella, Shawn, and Yvette and Denver where you will meet Bella and Yvette! The registration sites are… – Chrissy

Email me at locketsandcharms@gmail.com or contact your mentor for the link to register. I think they will sell out real fast just like Anaheim, CA. I see many online upset that they did not get to register for one reason or another. Some held out hoping San Diego was on the list but who are we kidding? 20 cities and 30 days to cover the country need to be some very big leaps and bounds to make this a win for many. And for reference, almost all o2 events sell out just like their jewelry. Things sell out all the time not because o2 plans small; it is because o2 Designers always outdo the company’s wildest dreams! Join in on the fun! Meet them at their next event – perhaps in one of the 19 cities left on the popuptour for all Ind. Desingers to attend. If you are not yet an Origami Owl Ind. Designer, consider joining today with me >>> JOIN OUR TEAM O2 <<<

Will your city be next? Once I know what the other cities are, I will come back to edit this. Until then, stay tuned!!

Are There Any Quotas to Do Origami Owl?

March 6, 2015 by Jennylou

Some may say there are no “quotas” in Origami Owl but that is not entirely true. You can’t really just be a part of something and absolutely have nothing be required of you in exchanged to be listed in their systems as an Origami Owl Independent Designer. If there was no quota, everyone could list themselves and sell Origami Owl on a whim. So when people ask me about quotas to sell Origami Owl, I ask, “What do you mean by quotas?” because there are different numbers for different things within Origami Owl. When it comes to quotas, what they really mean, “Is there a quota to sell to be a part of Origami Owl?”

The company require that each Ind. Designer (wanting to continue on their Origami Owl business) have completed 250PV (wholesale) in jewelry sales within the last 6 months in their Origami Owl business. 250PV is the new number as of March 2015 and is no longer the 199 that it has been since opening in late 2011. The previous 6 months will determine if the Ind. Designer will be able to sell Origami Owl for the following month in Origami Owl.

For example:

Month 1 – 150

Month 2 – 0

Month 3 – 0

Month 4 – 25

Month 5 – 50

Month 6 – 25

Month 7 –

Month 8 –

Looking at this PV list above that shows the previous 6 months of PV of an Origami Owl Ind. Designer, according to Origami Owl’s rules, will the Ind. Designer be able to sell in Month 7?

Yes, because Months 1 – 6 adds up to 250PV. On Day 1 of Month 7, the system will still function and the Ind. Designer can continue to function as an Origami Owl Ind. Designer.

Looking at the same chart above, will the Ind. Designer be able to sell in Month 8?Yes, BUT ONLY if in Month 7, the Ind. Designer has done 150PV. This is because by Month 8, ‘Month 1’ is no longer used in the calculation of the the 250PV. The 250PV is always based on the last 6 months of being an Origami Owl Ind. Designer. To sell in Month 8, the PV in Months 2 – 7 is what is taken into account. This is also known as a “rolling” requirement in PV and in Origami Owl, it is the last 6 months.

Not meeting the previous 6 months PV “quota” locks you out of the Origami Owl Ind. Designer System as of the 1st of the new month. You will no longer be able to sell Origami Owl online on one’s Origami Owl website or have access to the Back Office where one can purchase items on wholesale/discount or view the company training for all Ind. Designers. You may appeal your reason to be able to sell again and each appeal is looked at on a case-by-case file. From personal experience from my team, some are allowed back in with a 1 time exemption and some are not allowed back in. Those allowed back in must do their 250 PV and those not allowed back in must sit out for 6 months before they can apply to be with Origami Owl again and will have to purchase the current Business Starter Package. Not being in Origami Owl for 6 months means half the year of earning potential gone and most likely, you will be missing out on a high selling season such as Christmas or Mother’s Day. So, get your PVs in check and don’t miss out.

I have this old video on how to meet the 199PV… it is now 250 PV… but the ways to meet it remains the same http://bit.ly/1BeVZv3

My video shares how you can meet PV requirements by sales (individual customer sales or jewelry bar sales), by purchasing jewelry at a wholesale to resell at a retail as a vendor, for display on one’s Origami Owl table to encourage sales to one’s website, or for one’s personal use.

Before I go, I want to answer another question you may have…

What is PV?

PV is the retail number minus the commission number.

For example, a $30 locket. Commissions on lockets are 30%. Therefore, the PV on the $30 locket is 20PV and 10 is the number for commission. Ind. Designers make $10 on a $30 locket. We do not get PV (personal volume points) for our commission amount.

*****

I hope this has answered your question in regards to quota to stay in with Origami Owl. There are other “quotas” within the company but this is the main one to be aware of. The other numbers are numbers to get paid a bonus – voluntary on your part to take part in and attainable with some sales hustle – and not a requirement to stay in and be a part of Origami Owl.

I wish you the very best and do encourage you to join Origami Owl. There is plenty of training from the company available to understand all of this stuff. If you have questions you want answered before joining, ask me.In Canada and looking for answers? There is plenty as well, already available, to Canadian Designers who have signed up on the waitlist. Once our sister owls in Canada get their kits, I am pretty sure it will grow rapidly there as Origami Owl jewelry really are more beautiful than what other locket companies or jewelry companies currently have to offer. I was the 186th Designer in the USA and it has been a pretty nice journey. Personally, The 250Pv is a non-issue. It is so easy to sell Origami Owl despite the 65,000 reps in the USA. I think you too will do just fine but keep in minds that sales vary from person to person. Let me know if you have anymore questions about Origami Owl

Sincerely,

Ready to make one? If so, start inscribing http://locketsandcharms.origamiowl.com

But first, here is my tutorial on how to get inscribing:

Part # 1 Choose your Inscription piece. For this example, I will choose the Large Gold Round Plate. Add to cart. Add other items you need ordered. When items are all in/have been chosen, go to Checkout.

Part # 2 At checkout, you will see a list of all your Origami Owl items. On your Inscription piece(s), you will see ‘Inscribe’ to the right, like so:

To inscribe (aka personalize), click on the ‘Inscribe’ button and the image below will pop up:

Part # 3 It is time to choose the design. For this example, I chose ‘Complete Arc – Circle’ (default setting was Single Large Block Letter – Centered). As I enter letters/characters, I get a real time preview of what I am making. This is awesome in itself because I can see what I am inscribing in real time.

That’s it. At this point, if one is satisfied with everything, simply proceed to check out and complete the order. Not satisfies, one can go back and Inscribe again until it is to your liking.
