WELCOME STUART & MONA GRANDISON TO THE 20/20 CLUB!

Welcome new 20/20 Club members Stuart and Mona Grandison! Stuart is a native of Linden, NJ and Mona is a native of Boston, MA. They currently reside in McCalla, AL, which is nestled between the two popular cities of Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, AL They have been married for 15 and a half years and have a blended family, which includes six children - two boys and four girls. Stuart has been a truck driver for 36 years and Mona is a former paralegal and currently owns a mobile tax preparation business. Stuart has an interest in old car restoration and Mona loves to travel. As a truck driver, Stuart has traveled to all 50 of the United States and they have both visited five Caribbean countries since becoming a part of the travel industry, almost 4 years now.

Mona is the people person of the partnership. She has personally sponsored all 20 agents since partnering with InteleTravel. She loves booking travel and helping people to understand the value of being a travel agent instead of a travel consumer. She has educated herself on various vendor portals and was a qualified IATA agent with a previous host agency and is on track to achieving the Travel Guru status with InteleTravel before the end of the year. The love of the industry and the knowledge Mona has obtained has allowed her to help their agents get in profit mode once they've started their own travel business. Also, being a tax preparer, she has helped them and others maximize the tax deductions that are afforded to someone with a home-based business. They have also created a family as it pertains to their team. Mona's motto is No One Left Behind.

The Grandisons strongly encourage every PlanNet Marketing Rep to know the product. They explain, “People want tangible things and with this business being an e-commerce business, it lacks the physical, touchy-feely objects on the front end. However if you train people how to book travel they can earn some touchy-feely cold hard cash on the back end! And in this economy we can all use a few extra dollars in our bank accounts.”

Mona says that she holds the hands of all of her agents until they “shake themselves off.” She prides herself on the fact that she wants to be the leader she wished she had in previous opportunities, so Reps don't just recruit agents and depend on only InteleTravel to train them. “The agents who partnered with you, partnered with YOU!  It's your responsibility to help them until they are ready to soar all by themselves!”

 

WELCOME ARIEN RAGSTER TO THE 20/20 CLUB!

New 20/20 Club Member Arien Ragster is from Shreveport, LA and currently resides there. She tells us that her interests are meeting and helping new people and spending time with her family. Arien has studied abroad in Beijing, Suzhou, and Shanghai, China while pursuing her MBA from Texas Southern University to learn about international companies and the global complexities between domestic and foreign trade.

She says, “I believe the greatest way to achieve success is to build rapport with your prospects and business partners, stay plugged into the calls, expose as many people to the business, and take full advantage of the PS3 system. I stay close to my Directors, Lynn Hendricks, Gregory Scott, and Orlanda Moore. When they share a play, I know to do it. I believe that you should surround yourself with people who inspire you to dream bigger. Directors Hendricks, Scott, and Moore have been nothing short of a blessing to my life, my family, and my business!”

“I joined PlanNet Marketing because I'm engaged to be married and this business has helped me to not only help fund my wedding and go on a honeymoon for pennies on the dollar, but also make multiple streams of income on a part-time basis and have the opportunity to leave generational wealth for my children.”

 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

As PlanNet Marketing nears the end of our second year in business, we are more than pleased with the growth we have enjoyed. We're thrilled with the growth in our leadership and the great accomplishments we have achieved together. 

However, with growth comes other challenges, and it becomes increasingly difficult to police and enforce policies the larger we get. So in a re-evaluation of our corporate Policies and Procedures, we are more clearly defining some rules and enforcing them more strictly going forward. 

1. Videos and Marketing Materials Development by Reps. PlanNet Marketing will no longer allow the creation of videos by Reps. Only Corporately created videos will be compliant for Rep use. This means that corporately, PlanNet Marketing will be even more open to suggestions and recommendations from the field regarding needed videos and marketing tools. We want all our marketing tools to be fully compliant and easily duplicatable. When we allow an individual Rep to create a video for their own personal use, it creates an opportunity for non-compliance, it is not easily duplicated for all Reps, and it creates a growing challenge of policing such developments.  Let's streamline this process and stick to corporately created videos only. (Webinars are allowed as long as they use the corporate Powerpoint presentation.)

2. Proprietary Database. PlanNet Marketing will be more strict about the use of our proprietary database.  Reps will not be allowed to use PlanNet's Proprietary Database to promote or sell anything other than PlanNet Marketing to any Rep outside their Directly Sponsored Reps.  We do not want our Reps to use this important and proprietary information to further themselves or their business interests, but rather to further our goals as a company. We want to be respectful of all PlanNet Marketing Reps and ensure they are not being inundated with offers for products and services that are outside PlanNet Marketing. 

As we grow, our company will be a larger target for attention and scrutiny - we want to be doing everything right!

PLANNET MARKETING ANNUAL FEE PLAN

Announcing PlanNet Marketing's Annual Fee Plan


Beginning August 1, a new PlanNet Marketing Rep may elect to pay either $19.95 monthly OR an annual payment of $191.52, a 20% discount! Also, an existing Rep can elect at any time to pay the Annual Fee of $191.52, which would add 365 days to their current “Active Rep Status” and eliminate the monthly billing for the following twelve months.

For example, if a Rep's monthly $19.95 fee were processed today, August 1, 2017, and the Rep then chose to enroll in the Annual Fee Plan today, the Rep would maintain Active Rep status for one year and 30 days from August 1, 2017.

This 20% discount is a great value for both potential and Active Reps! Enroll today and save!
 

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB CHANELLE & TERRY FRY!

Welcome to the 20/20 Club Chanelle and Terry Fry! Chanelle shares, “We are both from South London, born and raised here!  We have a young son, Finlay, who is seven, and who shares the same passion for travelling that we do! We live for our family holidays, which is what originally attracted us to the opportunity. Aside from travelling, we enjoy going for walks and camping in the UK. We really got the travel bug a couple of years back when we met a family in Bali, Indonesia and have been to some fantastic parts of the world together. We've seen some great things from the Northern Lights in Iceland, to the Night Spectacular at Disney in Florida, and have lots more destinations on our goal board to tick off!”

Chanelle tells us her hobbies include running, shopping, and reading -  with a love for self-development books and studios.Terry enjoys football, keeping fit, and skiing. 

“We believe our success comes down to a real passion for the business which is infectious when sharing the opportunity! We talk to everybody about the business and never discount somebody or pre-qualify that this would not be for them...everyone's a prospect! Always look for leaders, not followers, and work closely with those who want success and put the effort in. We provide our own team trainings and support and love to give recognition and team incentives.

“Create a team brand and identity what will attract people to your business and market yourself well on social media. We teach our team attraction marketing, which in turn brings great people into our team.”

Chanelle says up until a few years ago she was terrified to fly long distance! Now the family can't get enough and would happily spend all their time in the air!  She concludes, “It just goes to show the magic really does happen when you step outside of your comfort zone!”

 

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB KENZIE KING!

New 20/20 Club member Kenzie King lives in Weston, ID, a tiny town of 500 people and MANY cows. She says, “I am an animal lover, so it works out great for me!

“I have MANY interests and they span the spectrum! I love to do stained glass, paint with watercolor, and experiment with cooking. I almost went to culinary school but ended up buying a screen printing business instead and have been doing that since 2006. I am a mother and I love watching my young daughter learn and grow. I love old buildings and used to work in historic restoration with my brother. My favorite job I have had is as a stonemason. I love finding the beautiful in the ordinary; that may be my main interest :) I have been fortunate to travel to some amazing locations! Peru and New Zealand are among the top favorites. The stonework in Peru is mind boggling. I have a giant list of locations, ever growing, in my mind that I plan to visit. I have an intense itch to travel so this business is perfect for me!

“The way I am achieving success within Plannet Marketing is by consistently doing the small things like posting ads, following up with prospects, and staying plugged in to the community and listening and putting into practice what my successful leaders are saying. We have to keep our funnels full for success too! Most importantly, I am keeping a positive outlook on the process and I visualize things happening. I know that what I think about, I will attract to me, so I am always thinking of myself AS A DIRECTOR ALREADY! To me, it makes a huge difference. 

“When talking with prospects, I take the time to learn about them as people with lives and challenges and successes. I take into account the lessons Dani Johnson teaches about FORM. I feel this is very helpful in letting prospects know that I really do care about them and I am not just trying to get them to enroll, which, in turn, makes them want to enroll even more! Some prospects I have talked with for three months or more before they are ready to join up! Patience is key! While this isn't the way to achieve success 'quickly,’ it is a way to achieve success consistently. Timing has to be right for a new business to fit into some of their lives.

“A fun fact about me is that I lived in an army tent in the forest in Oregon for a summer. It rained a lot and life was soggy, but I loved it!”

 

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB SHAHEIM GRANT!

New 20/20 Club member Shahiem R. Grant is a native of Queens, NY, the son of Karen Morris and Mitchell Grant. He graduated in 1992 from Thomas A. Edison Tech/Voc High School in Queens. He is a military veteran, having served in the United States Army for five years. His active duty assignments consisted of Baumholder, Germany (1997 - 2000) and Ft. Stewart, GA (2000 - 2001), where he served as a 13B, Field Artilleryman. Since April of 2006, he has resided in Baton Rouge, LA,  going there to work for FEMA after Hurricane Katrina. In 2009, he embarked on a law enforcement career with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Department, where he currently holds the rank of Sergeant. Shahiem is the proud father of four wonderful children (three boys and one girl ages 18 to three years!) and they keep him motivated and always on the go.  Some fun facts: “I am afraid of heights, I have 17 tattoos and counting, secretly I'm a nerd, an avid boxing enthusiast, and history and math were my strong points in school, I like classical music.”

Shahiem tells us, “My interests vary in life yet I stay true to the "gym life.” The gym has been a pivotal point in my life since my days in the military. With my current profession it's important to have a healthy lifestyle and some form of physical training to keep me prepared for any situation. I also enjoy cooking, am a huge movie buff, and since embarking on this journey with PlanNet Marketing, reading has played a major part in my daily activities.” 

He continues, “My earliest recollection of traveling was traveling from New York to visit family in Philadelphia. It was easy to jump on ‘Peter Pan’ or ‘Greyhound’ to escape for the weekend. My mother always wanted me to understand the value of being part of your neighborhood but never being part of your circumstances. I was also afforded the chance at a young age to fly every other summer to visit my Uncle Butch and cousins in Houston, TX. Upon entering the army, Germany was my first duty assignment and the culture shock was a great experience. From the food, to the language, to the scenery and driving on the AutoBahn, it opened my eyes to want to travel more. While in Germany I had the great opportunity to visit Spain. Being able to stand in front of the Great Cathedral, visit the Coliseum and walk the path to where they recently had the ‘running of the bulls’ was truly a great experience. 

“My success comes from many failures and plenty of ‘No's.’ I was the new guy coming in trying to reinvent the wheel, knowing this is my first time as a network marketer. I began to reach out to my upline who were always there with encouraging words and advice. I began to get plugged in to the weekly calls, the morning calls, and understanding that in network marketing it's truly a numbers game. I became comfortable with being uncomfortable. I'm really a shy person who stays to himself (only child syndrome lol), yet in order to succeed I had to speak more and be more visible to folks who were looking for this opportunity. Remaining coachable and teachable by Mrs. Tanisha Burke, Mr. Gregory Scott and Mr. Orlanda Moore and allowing my pride to be put to the side in order to be successful is the reason for it all.

“Success on this journey is not about being the swiftest; it's not about the number of friends you have on social media or in life. It's about ‘can you be influential.’ Can you build a rapport with someone and in return have that person trust you enough to guide them on their own journey to success? Each day learn something new, remain coachable, read or listen to something inspirational that will allow you to inspire others.”

COMPLIANCE CORNER

I am a procrastinator.
 
There, I said it! Now you all know the truth. Unless it’s something I truly enjoy or I must do it (cooking dinner!) I tend to put it off. I’d just rather wait until the last minute to do it, until the last minute gets here, and then I wish I’d done it hours before that! Can any of you relate? I know we all have deadlines that we push to the limit!
 
The PlanNet Marketing Policies and Procedures includes lots of deadlines…30 days for this, four months for that, one year for the other thing. Make sure you’re paying attention to your business and don’t let a little harmless procrastinating cost you.
 
Here are a few “deadlines” and “timelines” we ask you to follow:
 
Pay Your Monthly Fee of $19.95. If you aren’t actively paying that $19.95 each month, you could be missing out on commissions! Don’t let money slip through your fingers. Plus, if you don’t pay your monthly fee within 60 days of when it’s due you could also lose your position in the Matrix. Stay active to maximize your return on investment. (P&P Section 2.4)

Tell Us When You Have a Problem. You have 30 days to report an error in commissions, bonuses, Downline Activity Reports, or charges. You must notify PlanNet Marketing in writing within 30 days of the date of the purported error or incident in question. After 30 days, PlanNet Marketing can’t be held responsible for the error. (P&P Section 8.2)

90 Day Refund Policy. I’m not sure WHY anyone would want to cancel and receive a refund, but it does occasionally happen. Please make sure you tell all new Reps when they join PlanNet that in order to get a refund, they must request it within the first 90 days of their enrollment. (P&P Section 8.5)
 
Following Rules After Cancellation. Let’s say you do decide to cancel your Rep position and move on to other business ventures. Please note that you are required to continue abiding by the PlanNet Marketing Policies and Procedures for six months to a year post-cancellation. Yes! That is correct. For six months after canceling you agree not to sell any competing products or services (travel) and for one whole year following cancellation you agree not to directly contact any Rep you did not personally sponsor into PlanNet Marketing. Don’t tell them how much you miss them, don’t offer to babysit their kids, and PLEASE do not tell them about any other business or marketing venture you are pursuing. (P&P Section 5.3.1 & 5.3.2)
 
Becoming a Rep Again. If you ever decide to leave, and then you want to come back – we LOVE that! But please keep in mind that you must reactivate with the same sponsor and in the same position as before. If you choose not to reactivate with the same sponsor, then you must wait a minimum of four (4) calendar months before reactivating under any sponsor of your choosing. (P&P Section 5.13.B)
 
Don’t procrastinate with your business – make sure you’re always on time with the guidelines above.
 
 -- Policies and Procedures are located in your Virtual Office in the Information Center (go to Resources, then Policies and Procedures).
