July 2013 End of Month + NEW Training Videos
July is almost over!
July just flew right by and our team is growing everyday!! Remember that our July Hostess Exclusive is expiring at end of the month (7/31/13 midnight EST) and there is a new flyer in the back office featuring our August Hostess Exclusive (found under Resources > Hostess Materials).
Don't miss the latest Hostess Exclusive Announcement that was posted today for any of you who currently have a jewelry bar open in the system.
- Hostesses will receive the Hostess Exclusive for the month in which the Jewelry Bar® is closed, not necessarily the one in which it was held or opened in your Back Office. To receive the July Hostess Exclusive, you have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on July 31 to close your Jewelry Bar. Hostesses of Jewelry Bars closed after July 31 will receive the August Hostess Exclusive. This will be the case each month going forward.
- Hostess Rewards are available only for Jewelry Bar orders that are entered into the “Party Tab” in the Back Office. Since The Nest picks up the cost of Hostess Rewards, we are able to offer Hostess Rewards only for orders put through the Back Office. That means that Hostess Rewards are not available for cash and carry sales.

{July Team Incentive}
-------
What can I win? Four team members will receive a $25 Visa Gift Card! Use it to buy additional items for your display, business materials, or treat yourself to dinner/movie/pedicure!
How do I earn an entry? Any designer on this team who reaches personal volume of $99+ in the month of July will earn an entry. **Please email me at jodiocken@gmail.com when you surpass the first $99 to be entered into the drawing.**
*You will also receive one additional entry for each $250 in personal volume you reach. I will calculate any additional entries earned for those that entered. I will accept entries until end of day August 1, 2013.
To view your Personal Volume, log into the Back Office, click on Commissions, then Volumes, and it will list your Total PV for each month. End of Month is July 31st at midnight EST. If you have any questions, please let me know.
By hosting 1-2 Jewelry Bars per month, it is definitely possible, especially since the average party is about $650 in retail!
{ADDED BONUS} Each designer on this team that hits the Personal Volume (PV) goal listed each month June-November will be entered into a drawing for a {SPECIAL PRIZE} valued at $150+. Drawing to take place in December. No need to email me as I will review the monthly PV and determine the entries.
**There were 144 members on the team who met the qualification for June! WOO HOO**
Remember month end cut-off is the last day of each month at 11:59pm EST. To view your Personal Volume, log into the Back Office and click on Commissions > Volumes.

If you have any questions and/or issues, let's continue to bring those items up to your mentor and/or upline for resolution. (I'm your Executive Team Leader - jodiocken@gmail.com and your Director is Kristine Stevens - charmedowlsleader@gmail.com)
Designer Care is also a resource available for you to utilize. The contact form can be found at http://www.origamiowl.com/contact/form/ or can reach them at 888-491-0331 (M-F 7-7 PST). NOTE: Fastcustomer.com and Lucyphone.com are 2 great timesavers that will stay on hold for you and call you back.
NOTES:
If trying to place an order and the item is not coming up and is not on the Product Availability Listing, you can report this using the Contact Form and selecting Technical from the drop down box. If you need to get the order in right away, you can try contacting Designer Care via phone and asking if they can add that item to your order.
As far as shipping, orders are leaving the nest quickly sometimes even within 24 hours and are arriving based on the timeframe listed on the back of the order form depending on the shipping method selected (if not sooner). Please remember they are listed in business days.
For those awaiting Backordered Items, Missing Items and/or Replacement Items, if it has been 2 weeks since the items became back in stock and/or since you requested the items and you have not received the items then I would contact Designer Care at the phone listed above. If you do not get resolution after speaking with them or for some reason aren't able to call within the specified timeframe, email me the details at jodiocken@gmail.com and I will see what I can find out. Please ensure to include order # and customer name. All forms are found in the back office under Resources > Business Materials.
In addition, I've tried to organize some of the tips and FAQ posted in the group by topic in the Resources Album in Photo section of this group here.
