WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB PHILECIA THOMPSON!

2020club2_thompson.jpg

New 20/20 Club Member Philecia Thompson is originally from Bronx, NY, and now resides in Edmond, OK.  She relates that she has many interests which have turned into her passions, including health and fitness, dancing and reading.  “I absolutely get joy out of dancing and exercising. I am a girl in a tutu, having fun!  Dancing makes me feel like I am on top of the world, while reading gives me the ability to achieve and believe that anything I set my mind to is possible.” Philecia has traveled across the U.S. because of dance, and now with this opportunity, she will be able to travel internationally.  

“My success stems from my husband who pushes me daily, and our four children: two adults, Marquisha and Robert, and two younger sons, Adrion II and Aidan Thompson.  I am blessed to be the mother of some amazing children who have a strong entrepreneurial spirit.  They know exactly what I do and constantly encourage me to give it my all.  I also have the four best grandchildren whom I call my ‘4ortune’: Chosen Oné, Chance Christian, Cadence Kay Dior and Cameron Isaiah.  They give me life in an indescribable way!”

Philecia shares that the tip that has helped her the most is “getting my family buy-in, keeping them in the loop of my travel plans, meetings, and self-development.  It’s also important to do business outside of the home so you can be present for what you have planned, and everything will fall into place.  My ‘why’ pushed me to achieve 20/20 and it’s going to drive me to One-Star Director and plenty more. A little fun fact about me is that I am competitive and I love to play ‘Heads Up!’  

Congratulations to Philecia on achieving the 20/20 Club!

 

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB MAYA SLADE!

2020club2_slade.jpg

New 20/20 Club Member Maya Slade is a native of and currently resides in Columbia, SC.  She enjoys spending time and traveling the world with her three handsome sons and family, spending time with her best friends, taking care of her mother, watching football, and of course helping others reach their success!  She has traveled all over the world from Japan, Germany, Puerto Rico, and throughout the United States.

Maya says, “I’ve been able to achieve unimaginable success through PlanNet Marketing by first making a decision to change the way I think, committing to my commitment, staying plugged in, and being extremely coachable.  The most important tips I can offer to anyone who is trying to achieve success is to remember why you started and surround yourself with individuals who only want to see you succeed and who will hold you accountable throughout the process.

“A fun fact about me is that I was born in Okinawa, Japan, and my birth name was Mayumi Sunagawa.”  

Welcome to the 20/20 Club, Maya!

 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Videos, flyers and business cards – OH MY! You use these materials every day to promote your business. But where are you getting them? Are you using a PlanNet Black Business Card? Did you contact the corporate office to get your flyer approved? Did you create your own presentation or video?
 
We know you want the right tools to do your job WELL! We want you to have those tools. But please, PLEASE be careful! If you aren’t using a flyer that was created by PlanNet Marketing, then you must contact Compliance to get your flyer approved. If you aren’t ordering your Black Business Card from your Virtual Office, then you need to contact Compliance for approval. If you’re considering creating or using a presentation or video that wasn’t created by PlanNet Marketing, stop now – it’s not compliant!!
 
I promise, we aren’t trying to make life difficult for you. In fact, we’re trying to make it easier! We have business cards for sale in your Virtual Office (VO), presentations and videos in the Information Center in your VO, and if you’re hosting an event at a hotel with a Director present – we’ll create your flyer! How simple is that?

We know some people like to create their own flyers and business cards, some even like to create their own videos. The problem is, you could unknowingly violate any number of statutes or regulations affecting PlanNet Marketing’s business. These violations, although they may be relatively few in number, could jeopardize the PlanNet Marketing opportunity for all of our Reps. Therefore, Reps must submit all written sales aids, promotional materials, advertisements, websites and other literature to Compliance for approval prior to use.
 
Let’s work together to safeguard and promote the good reputation of PlanNet Marketing and its services.
 
All requests for approval of materials or websites should be sent via email to Compliance@plannetmarketing.com. Do not distribute or use any materials that have not been approved. Do not ever use the PlanNet Marketing logo without prior approval.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT Q&A

Q:  How do I know if my Rep autoship ($19.95) declined?

A:  When a Rep monthly autoship ($19.95) declines, three things take place:

1)  You get an email from PlanNet stating that there was a problem processing your autoship. 

2)  If you login to your Virtual Office, you will see a message across the top of your screen telling you the payment declined and the steps necessary to fix it.

3)  Our PlanNet Support Team will place an outbound call to you and let you know the payment declined followed by an email if they are unable to reach you.

We cannot stress enough the importance of having up to date contact information on file so we can reach you if there is a problem. Please login to your virtual office or call support at 470-443-9330 or email support@plannetmarketing.com to update any account information.

The PlanNet Marketing 2017 International "Going Global" Convention is in full swing! It's amazing to see all of the PlanNet Reps and Directors who have flown in from around the world for such a spectacular event! Day 1 consisted of Director training with amazing presentations by our Corporate leaders. Day 2 continues with a full schedule of PlanNet University training taught by the top leaders of PlanNet Marketing, followed by our blow-out pep rally to really get the motivation pumping. As I write this, today is Day 2 of PlanNet University followed by our prestigious Directors Dinner tonight in the Atrium Grand Ballroom. Tomorrow’s General Sessions are going to be the events of a lifetime. Keep checking our posts and look out for fabulous photos on Facebook and in the PlanNet NOW Blog.

CONGRATULATIONS ROBIN LOVING ON ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR!

Robin-Loving-1-Star-Announce.jpg

New PlanNet Marketing One-Star Director Robin R. Loving shares with us, “Hello! I am from sunny San Diego, CA.  My hobbies are helping others in or out of business, traveling, cooking, baking for family and friends, traveling to new places, serving at my church home, meeting new people and listening to music. I began traveling in the ninth grade when I went to Mexico with my school and had to speak Spanish only! I have been to Puerto Rico, Honduras, Belize, Cozumel, St. Maarten and St. Kitts, just to name a few. I will be going to Jamaica, Barcelona, Greece, Italy, and Croatia in 2018, and everywhere I can in between!

“People want to know why I’m always smiling and how is it that I can travel all the time. I am truly duplicating what I was taught by sharing the info, plugging in, and following up with the ones who might say “I’m not interested.” They are also the ones who follow me (secretly) on Facebook and later ask me about what I am doing. When I achieved One-Star Director, some of those Naysayers became Yaysayers!

“My success with PlanNet Marketing has truly been due to prayer, coachability, being relentless and having the desire to learn more so I can be a better leader! I know that in order to become a great leader, I must first be a great follower of those who have gone before me. I have a consistent excitement about my business!

“One of my biggest tools is the fact that I challenge myself to always get to the next level. Friendly competition is great, but no one expects more from me than I do. Thank you, Mr. Bradley and PlanNet Marketing!”

 

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER LAWANDA BAKER!

2020club2_baker.jpg

Meet new 20/20 Club member Lawanda Baker. Lawanda is a native of Jackson, TN, works in Birmingham and currently resides in Alabaster, AL. An award-winning graphic designer, Lawanda is the epitome of art.  “I love art and all things creative. My artistic appetite has only enhanced my wanderlust. Being a merchant of travel has allowed me to fulfill a lifelong dream - my daughter Laila and I traveled to Paris and the south of France for two weeks.

“This is my first network marketing venture and I have gained a level of respect for an industry that I did not know really existed.” Through exercising the tenets of network marketing, Lawanda has learned to achieve success by staying plugged in and remaining coachable. 

Though she is still very much a student of the industry and has many levels to reach, she eagerly and humbly shares three tips she has learned along the way.  “Become a sponge; absorb everything you hear and see, especially if you are new to the industry, and ‘COPY’ the leader or their work patterns; DECIDE that you will become successful. Our coach, Three-Star Director Mr. Tony Fleming, tells us that leaders are not born, they decide to lead, so make the decision and DO NOT let go of your dream. No matter what, keep your dream in front of you and don’t just chase after it - catch it and hold on until it becomes your reality.”

Lawanda relates this fun fact: “Aside from being a super mom with awesome powers, traveling the world, and accomplishing tall goals in a single bound, I share my Miss Awesomeness title with my favorite super hero, Wonder Woman!”  

 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

If you’re traveling to Atlanta for the PlanNet Marketing International Convention next week (or traveling anywhere), I’ll bet you’re going to be ready to share all the virtues of PlanNet Marketing with your fellow travelers. It’s an exciting business and you just love telling others! You probably will want to share a bit about InteleTravel too – since the InteleTravel Internet Travel Agency is our product, that’s totally understandable! You just have to be careful how you tell people about these two, amazing, separate businesses.
 
“I’m a Rep!” If you meet someone and tell them you’re a Rep with PlanNet Marketing in one breath, don’t say, “and I travel like a professional” in the next breath. You might be a Rep and you might travel like a “pro” but Reps aren’t travel agents and Reps don’t sell travel. Reps sell ITAs! Make sure if you tell others you’re a Rep, that you talk about being a Rep – the freedom it affords, because you can work when it’s best for you; the fellowship with others, you get to meet people every day and talk to them about the life-changing choice you made when you joined PlanNet; the extra finances, you get a commission for referring others to purchase an ITA business. In fact, many Reps choose to purchase an ITA as well as a Rep business.

“I’m an ITA!” If you meet someone and tell them you’re an ITA or an Agent with InteleTravel, don’t follow that up by saying, “and I make a commission every time I refer someone else who becomes an ITA.” ITAs don’t sell the online travel agency, ITAs sell travel! If you tell others you’re an ITA, talk about being an ITA – selling travel to family, friends, and others you know (or don’t know!), earning a commission on those travel sales, travel training and certification, the list goes on!
 
If you’re reading this blog – I know you’re a Rep! But are you also an ITA? Many of you wear both of those hats and sometimes you forget which one you’re wearing. Make sure you keep your facts straight when talking to anyone about PlanNet Marketing or InteleTravel. They’re both great companies. They both have amazing products to offer. They’re both very DIFFERENT.
 
If you’re traveling this coming week, or just out spreading the good word – remember to wear one hat at a time – you can keep the other in your back pocket so you can do a quick change if you need to, but make sure the people you’re talking to know who you are – a Rep or an ITA.
