Welcome "Aboard"
Team "Owl Aboard" with Jessica & Jerry Butanda!
WELCOME!
Some of you may not be thinking about selling Origami Owl as an actual "business" - but doing in your spare time or even just buying for yourself at a discount. That's okay too!!
I just joined... NOW WHAT?!?
First things first!
1. Schedule your launch party ASAP
- Pick a date for your launch party IMMEDIATELY!!! I usually tell people to pick two days - like a Tuesday/Thursday or a Saturday/Sunday. This way you can invite everyone and if there is a day they can't come, there is a back up party for people who can't make the first one. The launch parties should focus on bookings and sharing Origami Owl with people who might want to start their own business. Don't worry so much about selling products.
- GET YOUR CALENDAR FULL! Try to book your 2 launch parties, 2 parties from your launch parties, and 2 outside bookings. This will give you 6 in the next 4-6 weeks and will get your business booming! Origami Owl Jewelry Bars are sooooo easy.
2. Understand your Job Description
- It consists of only 3 little things. Love the products - Share the products - Find other people to love and share the products too!
3. Get your Coaching Call/Meeting List Ready
- I love hearing your "why". Tell me why you decided to join Origami Owl! This helps me understand what I can do to help you achieve your goals. Goals are going to be super important in your success! Facebook friend-request me so we can connect and chat about your goals!
4. Print and Read the Policy & Procedure Manual
- Highlight important sections
- Write down questions to cover with me
- Know them! Follow them! Ask me if you aren't sure!!
5. Get a Calendar that you can use to Book Jewelry Bars
- Mark the days you are available to have jewelry bars on.
- Have a separate calendar for family events.
- Use one that has a monthly view.
6. Collect or Buy Items for your Jewelry Bar Display
- Keep it simple.
- You only really need what is in your starter kit until you start making money.
- Look around your house! You'd be surprised how many things you ALREADY HAVE that you could use for your display!
7. Set up your Business Email Address and Business Facebook Page
- Gmail or Yahoo are great resources for email. Use this for all your business so that things to do not get lost and you can find them quickly.
- http://www.myesig.com/samples.php?pc=1090 - this is a resource for Origami Owl's official email signature line. I ran my business for over a year without one of these, but I do love how cute and professional it looks!!
- Start a business Facebook fanpage, and post to it often! Post some business stuff, and lots of NON-business stuff! People will get bored if you're CONSTANTLY posting product shots or asking them to buy/host/join. Keep it fun!
8. Set up your Business Voicemail Greeting
- Announce that you are an Origami Owl Designer on your voice mail.
9. Build your "Who Do You Know" list!
- Use the FRANK system - friends, relatives, acquaintances, neighbors, kids' contacts.
- List all the people you know and don't be judgmental of who may or may not love Origami Owl. You never know! 10 friends, 10 relatives, 10 neighbors, 10 acquaintances and 10 people surrounding children is 50 already. Put stars next to people who may need a girls' night, who love to entertain, or might need some extra cash.
10. First Goals to Achieve:
- Have a Launch Party and Enter Your First Orders
- Sell $500 PV in the first 15 days
- Book 2-5 jewelry bars in 60 days
- Recruit your first team member in the first 60 days. Learn together. This can be your Origami Owl buddy. You will forever have memories you will cherish.
Sample Script to call people you know:
Hi _________, this is _________. I just started a new Origami Owl business, would you consider helping me get my new business of the ground? I need a few people to host Jewelry Bars so I can get some practice sharing my love for these products! If you book a Jewelry bar and help me this one time, I promise I will never bug you again to book a party. If you want to book one ever again, it will be because you asked me. You and your friends will just love Origami Owl - I get so many compliments on mine!
Origami Owl Business Cards - This should be one of your FIRST purchases!!
Have your ordered business cards? When Heather Brimmer and I started we thought the cards were too expensive (so we didn't order any). So what did we do instead? HAND OUT CATALOGS. Uhhhhm, those are WAY more expensive!! Go buy business cards AS SOON as you can - start handing them out to everyone!! According to the P&P (our rule book), the ONLY place you can order business cards from is https://flyersdirect.com/origamiowl/
Commission! Payday! Discounts!!
Our commission week runs Sunday through Saturday, and is on Eastern time. So for any orders YOU place or a customer places on your WEBSITE by Saturday night at midnight Eastern, you will get paid THAT FRIDAY!! Lots of times the money is actually deposited on Thursday night! Exciting stuff!!
Frequently Asked Questions
What Do I need for my jewelry bar display?
I can't stress enough. You should make money before you spend money in this business. I did my first 3 or 4 Jewelry bars with only what was in my starter kit. You will see a ton of elaborate displays, but that does not make or break how successful a Jewelry Bar is! What matters is your authenticity and how passionate you are about your business. When you are ready, here are some of my suggestions.
- Folding Table
- Table cloth
- Jewelry Displays from Nile Corp or the back office - I suggest the linen displays
- Display decorations - Keep these within our Origami Owl branding - teal, linen, white and a hint of pink.
- Hostess gifts
- Game gifts
- Business cards
How Do I Get Bookings?
- Your Launch Party ~ Do not focus on sales, focus on getting your friends and family to book parties.
- Spread the word through social media about your new business.
- Private Facebook message people.
- Call your friends and family and ask them to help you with your new business.
- Set up your list of 100 and just start asking.
- Leave catalogs (with your info) at businesses, doctors offices, your nail salon, etc.
- Ask your friends for referrals
