WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB STACY HOLLING!

PlanNet Marketing welcomes Stacy Holling to the 20/20 Club. Stacy was born and raised in a rural town in Minnesota that she moved to eight years ago. She says, “There’s something about where your roots were planted that you return back to. I enjoy gardening, as in vegetables, because I am better off having those beautiful fake flowers from a craft store. I enjoy doing crafts, spending time with my husband as well as my children, and last but not least, planning our next adventure.

“I always loved to go places with my grandparents when I was growing up, so I now have been able to pass those same adventures on to my children, even more so with this business. We have been to Disney, several hotel stays,and our next adventure will take us on a cruise in March 2018. I can’t wait to plan more as a family and maybe a couple of getaways for the adults.

“My success with this company has been nothing short of amazing! When I was first introduced to PlanNet Marketing, my first thought was this will be another one of “those” things I don’t do well at. I was wrong, way wrong! There is so much energy, support, duplication, and leadership here that when you put the dedication in, you really can get somewhere. I went to convention in Las Vegas and I would have to say that was a game changer as well. I have achieved so much already in these short six months that I thought would be impossible, but I knew there was a MUCH bigger world out there!

“To the person reading this, I would like you to know you MUST have a vision of where you want your vehicle to go. We all have a ton of ideas floating around in our heads all the time, but they are only dreams until you write them down and can see that they can become a reality. This is so crucial to be able to help you become successful. The other word you need to become a friend of is…believe! If you believe, you will do everything it takes to get where you need to be. Guess what? It happens! You will find that belief and vision go hand-in-hand. The other thing you need to do is follow the tools your leaders are providing, because these are the tools that are proven to work, and will work for you as well.

“I am a person who works well under pressure, but in the same moment I have a passion for people. I enjoy helping others inside the company as well as those that I come across for this amazing opportunity. At the end of the day, it has nothing to do with the commission I made, but instead the lives that have been changed that day!”
 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Policies and Procedures Protect!
 
Every Rep agrees to know and follow the corporate Policies and Procedures (P&Ps) when they join PlanNet Marketing, but do new Reps even know what the P&Ps are? Do they know the P&Ps exist? DO YOU!?

Let's make an effort in August to spread the word - PlanNet Marketing's Policies and Procedures are in place to protect each and every Rep and our business as a whole. We all need to follow these rules - even me!

If you don't have a copy of the P&Ps, or you know someone who would benefit from a copy - you can find it under "Resources" in the Virtual Office - GO, check it out!

CONGRATULATIONS DEXTER GRIER FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR!

New One-Star Director Dexter Grier tells us he is the father of two from Columbus, GA and the grandfather of one very active three-year-old grandson. He moved to Atlanta, GA in 1987 and has lived there since then. He says, “'m so humbled to be chosen for the blog, and even more honored and humbled to be in this wonderful company.”

“My mission is to help as many people as possible to financial betterment as well as the joy that comes from travel. I believe that travel is the greatest educator of the human race. It teaches culture, respect and exposure to the way others live, their languages, customs, food and lifestyle. My favorite travel experiences have been Aruba, Maui, and the Bahamas. St.Tropez is my most desired locale I wish to experience, and because of this wonderful opportunity I know I will have that experience."

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB MAXINE MCDONALD!

New 20/20 Club Member Maxine McDonald was born in Jamaica, coming to the UK as a young child. She currently lives and works in South East London. Her interests are in all things historic, reading, and visiting. She has a keen interest in Reformation history and the Christian Church. She shares, “I like eating out, especially Mediterranean cuisine, and keeping fit. I have one daughter and I will be a grandmother in October. To say I’m overjoyed would be an understatement.”    

Maxine continues, “I have travelled to many countries in Europe. I particularly love Italy - you see the history connection? I’ve visited several states in the U.S. I especially love the United Kingdom. My friends laugh at me because I love the journey as much as I love the destination. My friends and family say that I’m a natural saleswoman. So when I was introduced to network marketing it was like “a match made in heaven.” I understand the solid principles of networking and how to achieve success. I believe that I have finally found the right product to succeed with. As we say in the UK, travel is a no-brainer.

“Whatever you do will duplicate so I teach good practices, not only in the business protocols but also when it comes to dealing with potential prospects and customers. I’ve learned the importance of transparency, to lead with the product, and to meet prospects at their point of need rather than focusing on my own needs to the extent that I forget it’s about helping others reach their goals. Regardless of my success, I know that God has ordered my steps and so I just do what’s right by Him and the rest they say, is His-story.

“On a lighter note: Nelson Mandela attended my University graduation, not by personal invitation I hasten to add, but by chance. He winked and raised his thumb in approval as I walked past him with degree in hand -  the smile on my face! My nerves prevented me from going up to him for a hug despite him being no more than a foot away from me!” 

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB ALLEN & JEANNETTE CHILDS!

New 20/20 Club members Allen and Jeannette Childs are both retired Army veterans and reside in San Antonio, TX. Allen is originally from Columbus, OH and Jeannette is originally from Chicago, IL. They are the parents of six children ranging in age from 11 to 32 and also have six grandchildren. Jeannette states, “We love working out and spending time with both our huge families. We are active in our church and are greeters and members of the family ministry team in which we support and build family relationships.”  Allen has also coached a local football team in San Antonio, the Alamo City Riders, for boys ages seven to eight.

While in the military, Allen traveled to Korea three times and Jeannette traveled to Germany, Korea, Italy and the Czech Republic. As travel agents, they have been to Punta Cana (their favorite travel experience), Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas and the Bahamas.

Allen states, “We are achieving success at PlanNet Marketing because we’re a team at home and a team when working our business. We recognize each other’s strengths and we don’t compete for attention. We achieved success so quickly because of our outstanding leadership, being coachable and following the process. We encourage our team to be patient and trust the process because everything will come to you at the right time!

“A fun fact about us: When we were dating, we decided to add each other on Facebook and discovered that we had over 500 mutual friends from our career in the Army! We had even trained and led the same soldiers! During our 20 years in the Army we had come in contact with the same people but never crossed paths until the end of our military careers. We are thankful that God led us together and also grateful He led us to PlanNet Marketing!” 

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB FAITH JOHNSON!

New 20/20 Club member Faith Johnson says, “I tend to tell people I am not from just one place but that I represent three: New York, South Carolina, and Florida. Therefore, while I currently reside in Wesley Chapel, FL, you will often find me commuting between New York, South Carolina and Florida. I’ve had an intense love for travel for as long as I can remember. Perhaps I have wanderlust at my core. I also love experiencing new and exciting things, as well as building authentic relationships through connecting with others. I doubt there is enough time in the world to share all of my travel experiences. As I’ve previously mentioned, I have been in the travel industry for some years, which has yielded me the opportunity to travel all over the world to places such as Egypt, Europe, Eastern and Western Caribbean, and Mexico.”

Faith shares, “I’ve been the owner and CEO of my own travel business for over 20 years; I’ve also retired from a large multinational financial services organization, but that is not all of who I am. I am a board member of Have Faith Open Door Ministries located in Alcolu, SC. This compassionate, family-run organization is comprised of individual ministries that provide help to abused and abandoned women and children who are in need, 24/7 hospice care for the elderly, and also raise breast cancer awareness, among many other ministries.

“I have achieved success in PlanNet Marketing by putting God first and allowing Him to continue to order my steps. I make it a habit of staying connected, asking questions, and always being available to my team. This has been an incredible journey which has enabled me to continue to connect with new people, experience new things, and build authentic relationships, which are all pieces of the thread that make up the fabric of me. I live by my father’s motto: “HELP ME TO HELP SOMEBODY.

“A little known fact about me is that I love me some dessert. It's my favorite part of a meal and in fact, I'd eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could!”

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB BILLY MORTON!

New 20/20 Club Member Billy Morton is originally from Southeast Washington, DC and currently resides in Oxon Hill, MD. His interests are being a great father, giving back to the community, riding motorcycles, and traveling the world. Billy’s travel experiences include the Maldives, Cancun, Jamaica, Aruba, and the Dominican Republic - just to name a few.

He relates, “With great leadership from Preston and Imani Scott along with the Powells, I have gained the knowledge and experience of being a successful coach to my team through the education of travel and great leadership advice. With a great work ethic, people understand that with whatever business venture I put my foot into, I’m going to be successful! As a retired 42-year-old Metro worker and a single father, I believe that in order to be successful in any venture, you must have a strong foundation and my team is just that, my strong foundation.

“My team has helped me to remain encouraged and has given me the determination to be an example of what we can and will become. I was often criticized for building a team that was 95% women, but I would not have it any other way. After being raised by a single mother, I learned that women are the strongest beings on this planet and our team keeps each other grounded and focused. I am proud of what we have achieved thus far and we are going to continue to go up from here!”

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Events Shape Our Lives!
 
Are you a sports fan? Do you just LOVE to attend basketball, baseball, football or hockey games live and in person? My husband LOVES hockey – he watches his team religiously on TV, and when they aren’t playing, he watches other teams. It doesn’t matter that he’s at home, in the living room, lounging – he’s wearing a jersey, sporting his team’s colors. He also can get LOUD. Now, my husband is a loud guy anyway – he’s Italian, hot-blooded, and his “inside voice” is louder than some people’s yelling, but on hockey nights things can get crazy ‘round here folks.
 
When my man and I were dating, I tried watching hockey with him (gotta show the interest ladies!) but it just never caught my attention or captivated me the way it did for him. Until I bought him St. Louis Blues hockey tickets for Christmas one year. Our son cried because he didn’t get to go along. These tickets were not right on the ice, but we had a nice view – and I found myself standing and screaming with all the other blue-bleeding fans in that arena. The atmosphere was incredible. This live event brought life to an otherwise boring game (to me). It also brought understanding.  I didn’t know the rules of hockey. But sitting beside my husband, the hockey expert, surrounded by the sounds of sticks slapping a puck across the ice, wearing my brand-new home team stocking cap – I wanted to know more! I asked questions, I kept my attention on that tiny black puck sliding around the ice, I learned so much in that brief time!

Attending that LIVE EVENT put me in a position to absorb more about hockey than I ever had, or probably ever will! Now, when I watch on TV (because let’s face it, during hockey season at my house, there are times you just can’t avoid watching – my hubby and son love it) I know what’s going on. When the boys are yelling at a call they think unfair, I actually understand what they’re talking about. I’ve gained a knowledge and an insight I didn’t have before. Honestly, I didn’t even realize what a fun, exciting game hockey was before that event. I had seen it, heard about it, I even tried to like it, but I hadn’t EXPERIENCED IT for myself until that live, in-person game. It was a turning point.
 
Ok, so this is an article about PlanNet Marketing – not ice hockey. Let’s get to the point – right? If you have never attended a live, in-person event with PlanNet Marketing, then you don’t know what you’re missing. You might have seen pictures and videos from events past, maybe you heard from a friend of a friend about the excitement they felt in attendance, you might have even tried watching on Facebook Live during past  conventions. But you just couldn’t get into it. You don’t understand all the hype. You got bored watching after 20 minutes and went back to work. 

You need to EXPERIENCE the PlanNet Marketing 2017 International Convention – Atlanta for yourself!
 
Once you’re there – you won’t regret it. The atmosphere will be electric, the excitement palpable. There will be an abundance of opportunities to sit in a smaller classroom setting with the experts (PlanNet Marketing Directors) and learn about building your business in ways that you’ve never imagined. You’ll sit in rapture and soak it all in, gaining knowledge and insight you didn’t have before. You’ll realize what a fun, exciting business this is and you’ll WANT to know more, and do more.  You’ll watch award-winners prance across the stage to thousands of screaming fans and you’ll take note of how you too can achieve those goals. Next year, it’ll be you up there, waving and smiling as you accept your award.

These events are so much more than motivation and networking (although that happens too). These events are experiences you will never forget. Maybe you want to be interested, but you're just not there yet. These events will make this business real in a way it wasn’t before, it will open your eyes to the possibilities at your fingertips.
 
Don’t sit by the sidelines in 2017 – visit your Virtual Office today and sign up to attend the Atlanta 2017 PlanNet Marketing International Convention! This is a once in a lifetime experience that you’ll never forget.
