AMAZING JOB, PLANNET CARES!
What a great success the PlanNet Cares drive was at our March 3 Super Saturday
in Hanover, Maryland! PlanNet team members collected cleaning supplies for a local Baltimore shelter. Led by One-Star Director Jay Stuart and Tonya Parkwood Fuller, PlanNet Marketing leaders and event attendees donated items as requested by the shelter.
~~
PlanNet Cares, in conjunction with other organizations, provides essential needs for
women and children who are homeless and living in shelters.
Team PlanNet Cares showed up and showed out!!!

NEWS FROM THE CORPORATE TEAM
COMPLIANCE CORNER
Has anyone else noticed that Reese's is EVERYWHERE!?
Literally, their marketing is red-hot on fi-ya (fire) right now. I walk into the store and I see Reese's. I pull up to the gas station and I can see their standalone displays from outside in the parking lot.
There's Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Reese's Big Cup, Reese's Miniature Cups, Reese's Pieces, Reese's Cups Stuffed with Pieces, Reese's Fast Break...you can BBQ it, boil it, broil it (I'm getting off topic here).
In a country where Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are a household name and easily considered one of America's favorite candies - who decided to go the extra ten miles!?
Reese's is working their tail off to make sure there's a cup for everyone - even if you don't like milk chocolate (crazy, I know, but there are people!) you can buy a white chocolate peanut butter cup from the friendly, thoughtful people at Reese's.
What about you?
Seriously, what are YOU doing to market yourself? Are you selling something everyone loves and wants and just resting on your laurels? Or are you slicing and dicing your PB Cup in every way imaginable to appeal to any and every person who walks through the proverbial "doors" of your business!?
Marketing is everything.
There will always be someone who doesn't like peanut butter or travel, but for all the other "normal" people out there - you need to make your product and yourself as appealing as possible.
They like country music? There's a cruise with a slew of country music legends setting sail at the end of January 2019. Are they a coffee enthusiast? Send them to La Zona Cafetera, better known as "the coffee triangle" in the mountains of Columbia. Maybe they LOVE Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Then a trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania would be perfect - see where it all started, visit the HersheyPark theme park and ride a candy themed roller coaster.
My point is simple, when you're holding something as universally loved and desired as travel, you sometimes forget that your job is to help everyone feel the travel love. Don't just sit back and say, "Everybody loves travel! They'll buy it." Market yourself and your travel business in such a way that everyone wants to buy it - from YOU.

marketing matters
Are you where you want to be?
I see room for improvement in everything I do, being a mom, a wife, a co-worker, a COO, the list goes on. Every day is a learning process to get where I want to be and do what I know I am capable of. There is always something that seems to knock me down every day - a fight between my kids, a missed appointment because I got sidetracked on something else equally important, or this morning my internet going down for five minutes at the most critical part of my day when I needed to get some important work done.
I had to remind myself to take a breath and keep moving. Sometimes these frustrations or distractions just become an excuse to give up. Keep moving on and if there is a frustration or distraction that we can help you through, then call the S-Team - we want to help you continue down the path to excellence!

LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: THREE-STAR DIRECTOR LETORIA MAYBERRY
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I am a native of Athens, AL and a veritable force of creativity, drive and passion. The youngest of four siblings and a graduate of Oakwood College, I am a contracting officer by day with the United States Army Department of Defense/Counternarcotics Terrorism Program. I utilize all of my God-given gifts to make a profound difference in society. I wear many hats in the community, as well my personal life. I am a single mother of a 23-year-old daughter, co-owner of Signature Events by L’SKY, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Incorporated, co-founder of Models for Jesus Christ, and I serve as youth director at my church, New Beginnings MB Church. I am also CEO of “Winner In Me,” a ministry that helps fund a shelter for battered women and children, and I am a strong advocate for female empowerment. This shelter provides a temporary, safe and secure respite where women will be strengthened and empowered to start a new life.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have grown so much personally. I have learned what it truly means to be uncomfortable and push outside of my comfort zone. I have learned to continue to stand steadfast and continue to move despite what life throws my way.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
What drives me are my daughter, my parents, and the people I have partnered with.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My role models are my parents, because they truly have defined what it means to beat the odds. Their love for people and willingness to help anyone they come in contact with is unmatched. They have instilled in me the power of prayer and keeping God first. Their walk with Christ made me hunger to know God for myself.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Bold, Determined, Persistent
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
It doesn't matter what your past is and where you have been..What truly matters is your vision for the future! Know that you can start late, look different, be uncertain, and still succeed‼ I’m just getting started!
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Within the next five years, I will retire from the government and become full time in this industry. I will fulfill my God-given passion to serve, and open up a halfway house for battered women and children - to teach them the importance of self-love, entrepreneurship, financial stewardship, and to aid them to get back on their feet and into society, where they can give back to other. EACH one REACH one!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO TANISHA & ANDREW BURKE FOR ACHIEVING TWO-STAR DIRECTOR!
CONGRATULATIONS TO RACHEL RUSSELL FOR ACHIEVING TWO-STAR DIRECTOR AND 60/60 CLUB!
Congratulations Rachel Russell on achieving Two-Star Director and becoming a member of the PlanNet Marketing 60/60 Club! Rachel tells us, “Wow, I’m so excited I can’t see straight! It’s truly such an honor to be recognized in the elite 60/60 Club. What an amazing feeling to have personally helped over 60 families! Whatever you set your mind to, you will achieve it. Every night when I lay my head down I reflect back two years ago when I was looking for the life-changing opportunity, and I can’t help but think about all of the families also wishing they had an opportunity like this.
“I seriously cannot keep this a secret; it’s changed my life and I have so many more families to help!!! I am forever grateful that Mr. Donald Bradley continues to challenge leaders to set the pace here. I can hear him now, ‘The speed of the leader is the speed of the team.’ I am forever grateful for my Coach, Aquarius Jackson. I can hear him now, ‘Show the plan, show the plan, show the plan.’ I remember being so uneducated and scared to talk to anyone. Seriously, sweating palms and heart racing so fast, mind going blank...I didn’t know how I was going to do it. But he grew me, and I love listening to him tell me things I don’t want to hear, because I know it’s so I can become an even better leader and it stretched me.
“I’m forever grateful to have been blessed with Keith and Adairia Vinson in my life. The time they have taken with me, hours of development, and I can hear them say, ‘YOU are the MAGIC,’ and oh my goodness they were right. I am proud to say I’m not just in PlanNet Marketing, PlanNet Marketing is IN me!
“As a mother of six and a wife I always had to remind myself to not let my WHY be my WHY NOT and that if I wanted something in life no one was going to hand it to me. No matter how many people can’t see the vision, with or without them it WILL happen. We cannot let the process punk us out of the promise. My name is Rachel Russell and I BOSSED UP my life (Built On Self Success)!”
CONGRATULATIONS TO CHRISSEY WALKER FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR!
MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR ARIEN RAGSTER!
One of PlanNet Marketing’s newest Directors is Arien Ragster, who was born and raised and lives in Shreveport, LA. She enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, helping people, volunteering with her church, sorority, and in her community. While pursuing her Master of Business Administration degree from Texas Southern University (studying the global complexities of foreign business trade agreements), Arien visited Beijing, Suzhou, and Shanghai, visited the Great Wall of China, and the Forbidden City. She also tried many Chinese delicacies!
Arien relates, “I know that the success I achieved was truly a team effort. I continued to remain coachable and allowed my personal sponsors and coaches, Directors Lynn and Marcus Hendricks, along with Directors Gregory Scott and Orlanda Moore and other phenomenal leaders, continue to coach, train, and develop me to better serve and help the team and our clients. I also networked and connected with accountability partners in an effort to remain accountable for achieving my goals.
“I always keep my "Why" in front of me, especially when life throws curve balls my way - which is to leave a legacy for my two daughters. I also plug into the system and expose my business consistently to help more families in their quest for personal, time, and financial freedom. I also reach out to other business partners to leverage their time and talents to have market share across the PlanNet. We have an amazing organization and the culture, professionalism, and posture of the leaders in this organization were attributes that I wanted to emulate and then duplicate. Affirmations over my life and businesses are important to me and by affirming greatness over my life, my family, as well as my business, I believe it has truly helped me reach this level of success. I am new to network marketing and I am truly blessed, fortunate, and honored to be on the BEST place on the PlanNet and will be forever grateful for Mr. Bradley and his vision!
CONGRATULATIONS TO PAMELA & JOEY JACKSON FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR!
CONGRATULATIONS TO RAHSTAMOND & KHEUNTANESE BLAIR FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR!
CONGRATULATIONS TO KORREY ALEXANDER FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR AND 60/60 CLUB!
Congratulations to new One-Star Director and new 60/60 Club member Korrey Alexander! Korrey is originally from Magnolia, AR but currently resides with his wife, Two-Star Director Latashia Alexander and their two teens. Korrey loves anything sports, more specifically hunting and football. He is an avid fan of motorcycles and fishing as well.
Korrey tells us, “Travel is not a new thing for me. As former military, I had the privilege of being stationed overseas and experienced several different countries. The opportunity to join a business doing something we love (travel) has afforded us the opportunity to experience places that we have only dreamed of!
“As one of a dynamic duo, success has been a dual effort on the part of myself and my wife. She's the conductor and I'm the train that keeps it all together. When she first started this business, I wasn't a full believer until the Convention last year in September. Seeing the minority of business partner spouses chatting with Mr. Bradley and seeing my wife recognized for her hard work as the top recruiter made me realize I could do more. From that day on, it was game over. Less than six months later, we achieved Directorship again!!! We have two children...why not create two LEGACY businesses!!
“Tips I could provide with marketing or otherwise is just be AUTHENTICALLY you. Trust the process, listen more than you talk, lead from the front, and always keep GOD first. We are network marketers! That also means making connections!
“I am an identical twin and have been a firefighter for over 14.5 years and love my career! My passion is rescuing others and this business is an extension of just that! We are rescuing families from the trap of financial insecurity!”
RACE TO THREE-STAR DIRECTOR!
These Two-Star Directors will soon reach 500 balanced active ITAs and earn another prestigious Director Gold Star!
DIRECTOR 1.5 ACHIEVEMENTS
Chairman Donald Bradley recognizes One-Star Directors when they achieve the 150 mark in their team building and are on their way to Two-Star Director. Mr. Bradley will work closely with each Director 1.5 to help them reach the Two-Star level!
WOMEN IN BLACK WEEKEND HOUSTON - EXCEPTIONAL, PRICELESS, EPIC
WOMEN IN BLACK REWIND - HOUSTON, TEXAS - FEBRUARY 24, 2018
We are pleased to share these quotes from this outstanding event:
Mother Teresa said, “I can do things you cannot. You can do things I cannot; but together we can do great things.” You see, conformity is not unity. Unity does not mean we are the same. It means we are together. And I love when I see genuine unity demonstrated as it was during the last Women in Black event held in Atlanta, GA. A play was called and the women came together in unity and strength to pour into our PlanNet women. Each leading lady spoke from their experience to reach the single moms, the retired women, the young (millennial) ladies, and the women who are overwhelmed and out of balance. Genuine care and compassion were demonstrated. I am excited to see the women rise again in unity. Each one help one is how we win. There is and always will be strength in unity.
All I can say is this weekend was epic!!! 600 women from all over the PlanNet! They came with their cups empty so we could pour into them! It was an honor to serve the masses! History was made this weekend and I was humbled to be able to serve with the other top ladies in the industry! We are just getting started!!!
Can you say EPIC?? 600 Women touched down in Houston to change their lives! PlanNet Marketing making history! We said 2018 would be EPIC! Get right or get left!
Reflecting on this weekend; epic, life changing, unforgettable…yes, when people say never underestimate the power of a woman - I would agree. HOWEVER, when you have beauty, brains, professionalism, compassion, and wealth, we women are unstoppable!! I love these women!!
I went to a seminar on Saturday that was really priceless, and it has changed my views completely about my product and network marketing. There were some very powerful speakers and leaders. If you were there you will know what I mean and agree with me that we should not only come to the event, but implement what we have learned. I am in a learning and implementing mode! For it to work it has to duplicate!
About this weekend...the PlanNet Marketing Women in Black Event was EPIC! It was amazing to see 600 entrepreneurial women in one room with the same common goal. I challenged each businesswoman to take her business to the next level in 2018. There were so many phenomenal women in one room.
Women In Black Houston, TX: "I am my sister's keeper!!"
Women from all over the world have gathered here in Houston, TX...lives are being changed!!! There’s a shift happening in the atmosphere and it’s changing the PlanNet.
Every woman should surround herself with a circle of women. That would encourage them to be the best they can be.
600 strong beautiful Women in Black represented in H-town this weekend!!! The love and sisterly unity was beyond expectation!!!
This was an amazing event - Women In Black. This was a life-changing event and I know that God has me in the right company. I have never been around so many professional, motivated, educated women ready and about their business. I am ready and motivated.
I want to tip my hat to PlanNet Marketing's leading ladies. The Women in Black training was EXCEPTIONAL!! “If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader.”
Parallel and across the country while we celebrated Women in Black in Houston, our Men in Black Atlanta was held at the same exact time! I am so excited to be a partnership with such a phenomenal group of men who are focused on conversations to involve being fathers, husbands, loved ones…and how they will continue to successfully work together and most importantly build international empires throughout the PlanNet!
Talk about U.N.I.T.Y. At the same time we were having our #WomenInBlackHoustonTX our brothers in success were having #MenInBlackAtlanta...we have an amazing group of men that also pour into us with their phenomenal leadership.
MEN IN BLACK WEEKEND ATLANTA - EMPOWERING, AWESOME, MOTIVATING
MEN IN BLACK REWIND - ATLANTA, GEORGIA - FEBRUARY 24, 2018
We are pleased to share these quotes from this outstanding event:
Powerful Men In Black weekend!!! Men empowering men.
This Men in Black was AWESOME!!! I love being with like minds with the desire to save families. Empowering people with time, personal, and financial freedom!
I am truly proud and honored to be in business with such an incredible group of champions who are serious about helping people win. While we were in Atlanta, GA with Men in Black, the ladies were in Houston, TX with Women in Black. We have a winning culture and a winning environment that's truly helping and empowering families around the world. Find out how you and your family can benefit from what we have to offer.
Men In Black Atlanta was a huge success! My team of men showed up from all over the country. It was a straight no chaser...raw and uncut session with the top leaders in the company.
When men come together for a common cause, there’s no goal unattainable!
When men come together and they are serious about changing their lives, their families’ lives, and other families that we can help along the way, it’s called “Game Over.”
It's about that time again my brothers!! It’s going down this AM in the ATL Men in Black! 200-plus positive, like-minded businessmen coming together for one common cause, to help as many families as we can!!!
Super amazing weekend: The men in ATL, women in Houston and the UK doing their thing across the pond. We are leading the way in this industry.
The movement that will someday soon change and empower lives all over the world!
