COMPLIANCE CORNER

You’re working your business day in and day out to build it up and make that extra income. Or maybe it’s your only income? Maybe you have multiple streams of income? Whether PlanNet Marketing is your Plan A or Plan B (or Plan C), please make sure you’re careful about how you market to PlanNet Reps. 

The PlanNet Marketing Matrix and database of Reps are considered proprietary information and are the sole ownership of PlanNet Marketing. We give our Reps access to that database so they can build their team and business to earn money. As an Independent Marketing Representative for PlanNet, you’re free to work other multilevel or network marketing business ventures (as long as they aren’t in competition with PlanNet Marketing). However, there are some very serious rules about who you can and can't talk to about your other businesses.

Reps may not directly or indirectly recruit other PlanNet Marketing Reps or Customers other than those they have personally sponsored for any other network marketing business. Even if you cancel your Rep account with PlanNet Marketing, you are not allowed to market other businesses to any PlanNet Marketing Reps or Customers you did not personally sponsor for a period of one calendar year following your cancellation. 
 
If you have any questions about how you’re marketing your PlanNet business in conjunction with other businesses – feel free to contact me at Compliance@plannetmarketing.com.

We have had many of our new PlanNet Reps wanting to know "What to Do" once they get started. In your Virtual Office we now have a tab called "Getting Started.” Under the Virtual Office Tab at the top of page, click on "Getting Started" from the drop down list.

Follow these two steps: The first link will bring you to a document called "The Four Steps to a Great Start!" and the second point lists a wealth of "Training Videos" for your review. From here, you will be off and running! Check back from time to time as we will add other items moving forward. We hope you find this helpful. Good luck!

DIRECTOR 1.5 ACHIEVEMENTS

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB DAVID AND TAMMY STULL

Welcome to the 20/20 Club David and Tammy Stull! David says, “My wife and I work the business together; she is the marketing queen and I'm the travel king. We live in Sunbury, OH (small town north of Columbus). We love to travel. We have been to Fiji for our honeymoon, Paris, Punta Cana, many places in Mexico and Tammy's been to all 50 states. 

“Our biggest tip for achieving success is to be consistent. It doesn't matter if you can commit 10 hours or 50 hours a week, make it the best 10 or 50 hours of consistent work. Commit to it every week. Have a plan and stick to it. And we listened to our leaders!! They told us to invite clients to travel parties and webinar events and we did it.”  

A fun fact about the couple:  “My wife and I met while working for an airline 19 years ago. Travel is in our blood and this is a perfect match for us!”
 

CUSTOMER SUPPORT Q&A

Q:   How do I access my PlanNet Marketing commission payments?

A:   PlanNet commissions are paid to you through Hyperwallet's Paylution Pay Portal.

When you join PlanNet Marketing, you'll receive an email invite to setup your Paylution Pay Portal. You will follow the instructions within the email that you receive to set up your password and security questions. This completes the setup process to access your Paylution account. Once you have finished this process, you will go to plannetmarketing.paylution.com and login with the credentials you created. When you earn commissions, they will automatically be paid to your Paylution account. You'll get an email every time PlanNet Marketing pays you. After logging into your Paylution account you'll be able to see how much money is available, set up a transfer method, order a pay card, and much more. If you should have any questions regarding your Paylution account, you can contact PlanNet Support at 470-443-9330 or support@plannetmarketing.com or Paylution@plannetmarketing.com, or you can contact Paylution at 877-546-8220 or support@paylution.com. 

~Sarah Muscarella, Manager of Customer Support

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Network marketing is an exciting business unlike any other industry out there.

When someone enrolls as a new Rep, there's definitely a learning curve. As the sponsoring Rep, it's your responsibility to help train and assist these newbies, show them how to duplicate your actions and start their own team - selling ITAs and recruiting new Reps.

We created a simple four-step system on Getting Started Right. Now, when a new Rep joins PlanNet Marketing, they can view this four-step system, along with training videos and other important information, under Getting Started in the Virtual Office. We will continue to add to this page and keep it up to date.

Go check out Getting Started in your PlanNet Virtual Office today.

PLANNET MARKETING IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE FIRST FORMAL EXPANSION OF INTELETRAVEL TO THE UK!

Members of The Society of Intelligent Travelers in the United Kingdom
can now become home-based Travel Agents with InteleTravel!

---

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM INTELETRAVEL'S PRESIDENT

I am writing to you at the launch of a personal dream of mine - the first formal expansion of InteleTravel outside North America. In making that dream a reality, InteleTravel intends to remain the responsible partner to our Agents in the UK that we have been for 25 years in the States, bringing the same excellence and quality in support of your travel business and as the product for your marketing business. With that in mind, I have made a decision to hold the release of the booking engine technology for an additional week, and this modifies some of the email announcement below.

In a series of final testing sessions over the last few days, I have determined that the user experience and functionality of the booking engines does not meet InteleTravel's standards. It is very close. But it is not fine-tuned enough for you to base the reputation of your travel business on or show to prospects in your marketing business. I do not want your customers or prospects judging your travel services, or InteleTravel or our marketing partner based on the current experience. Therefore, the access to the booking engines will be opened to you on Monday, July 10. All of the other exciting information in the announcement below is accurate. Get started as an InteleTravel Travel Agent now, touring the virtual agent office, readying your business, learning and then earning! 

Here's to InteleTravel.uk and our groundbreaking partnership! 

JAMES R. FERRARA
President
InteleTravel.com

READY TO BE A HOME BASED TRAVEL AGENT?

It’s finally here! On the first of July, Members of The Society Of Intelligent Travelers in the United Kingdom can become home based travel agents with the ONLY reputable, full scale host travel agency in the UK. Now you can EARN money on travel – not just spend; get educated and accredited as a travel professional; own your own travel business with the company that created the idea 25 years ago…as well as share it with your friends and family! For those who want, the time has finally come to transfer from the Society travel club to InteleTravel’s famous home-based, independent travel agent program – at no additional costs. And make travel history in the UK!

NOW IT’S ABOUT EARNING…ADD INCOME & PROFITS TO TRAVEL
At the Society you have wonderful travel benefits, but it was about spending, not earning. Now you will have even more opportunities to travel, with the same InteleTravel price assurance, but with an important addition…you will now be able to sell travel to others and earn income from travel commissions. You will grow yourself and your travel business with InteleTravel’s robust agent education, including online video courses and tests, podcasts, webinars, live events and travel agent learning trips!

This offer to transfer programs applies only to residents of the UK.

YOU’VE ALSO GOT SPECIAL ‘CHARTER AGENT’ BENEFITS
Because you joined the Society prior to July 1, you had free access to get educated and prepared, free training and other advantages. Now if you transfer to the Agent program formally in July, you will receive 80% Travel Commission Share on bookings made from July 1st – December 31st 2017 (everyone else gets 70% and has to earn 80% by reaching a travel sales quota) – a powerful head-start for your travel income! CLICK TO TRANSFER BY JULY 31.

Click the button below to acknowledge you want to transfer to the travel agent program, sign the independent contractor/agent agreement and press “Become An Agent”. If you take advantage of this offer in time, there are no additional costs or fees. After this date, the full prevailing cost of enrollment and monthly Unlimited Support fees for the agent program will apply, with no Charter Agent benefits.

IMPORTANT: CURRENCY CONVERSION CORRECTION. Starting with your July billing, regardless of whether you choose the Society or the Agent program, there will be a currency conversion correction to keep enrollment and monthly pricing equivalent to the pricing in USD. This is NOT a price increase, and is allowed by your written membership agreement. Click Here to see the dramatic change in GBP/USD exchange rates over the past 18 months. The corrected GBP fees are: Enrollment £142, Unlimited Monthly Support £32.

LOOK FOR YOUR AGENT WELCOME LETTER
Immediately after you will receive an email welcoming you to the agent program and providing you with a modified PIN – it will be your same Society Member PIN number; however, the first letter will change from an “S” to “UK”. There will also be agency codes and credentials you need to begin selling travel, and instructions for how to get started.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

How will I be billed?
Your billing will remain the same as the Society with no change to your payment schedule or payment method (same credit card). Card information may be updated if necessary online in your new Agent virtual office under My Profile once you have transferred.

Is there a cost to transfer?
No, as long as you opt in by the deadline, there are no fees or costs other than the same ongoing monthly fee as the Society program, paid on the same schedule.

What if I don’t want to transfer?
The feedback has been unanimous that this is what the Society members in your country want, but if you do not opt into the transfer by July 31, 2017, you will remain a SOIT member and continue to receive these benefits. If you decide to join the agent program later, you will be required to pay the prevailing price of enrollment and monthly fees at that time, with no Charter Agent benefits.

Can I change my mind?
The offer to transfer will not be repeated. Once the transfer is made, it cannot be reversed.

Is the Agent Program ready for the UK?
The Agent program and technology platform has been customized just for the UK. Over a Beta period additional changes will be introduced that are specific to the UK travel market and local operations.

Schedules, features and details subject to change.

Is InteleTravel ATOL?
ATOL is a set of consumer protection regulations that applies to “Principals” or “Originators” of travel packages, the holiday companies that create the trips/deals. InteleTravel and you are “Agents” selling those packages and are not properly subject to ATOL. However all the holiday and package products InteleTravel agents sell to customers will be ATOL protected by the companies/brands that originate them.

How will commissions be paid?
Hyperwallet will allow agents in the UK to receive travel commissions through direct deposit or transfer to pre-paid debit card, avoiding the expense of paper check delivery and related bank fees. This is the same company as Paylution used by PlanNet Marketing, but you will need a separate account for your InteleTravel travel commissions. When your first travel commission is due, Hyperwallet will notify you and instruct you by email how to create your account and transfer your funds. There is no need to create an account until a commission is due to you.

As a PlanNet rep what product will I be selling to residents of my country?
PlanNet reps will be able to sell the independent travel agent program in the UK now, but no longer sell Society memberships there. Your PlanNet website will no longer route residents of the UK to SOIT product info or enrollment, and now will offer InteleTravel ITA product only, upon this launch.

What about mainland France?
Residents of mainland France will be directed to SOIT product only, and no agent program will be available there until future notice.

ITAs BY THE NUMBERS!

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB PATRICIA DAVY!

New 20/20 Club Member Patricia Davy was born and raised in London, England and has seven siblings. When the family moved to Nottingham, Patricia served as a Police Officer in the Nottinghamshire Police Force. For the past 27 years she has worked with young offenders and currently manages a Youth Offending Team in Birmingham, England. Patricia has an adult son who has her entrepreneurial spirit, having recently become a business owner in the clothing industry. He has also seized the PlanNet Marketing opportunity and is Patricia's business partner!
 
Patricia has a love for travel and has travelled extensively to some great places and countries throughout the USA, Europe, and the Caribbean. Together with 50 other volunteers, she rode 250 miles across Cuba raising £3,000 for charity.
 
Patricia shares, “PlanNet Marketing has given me the opportunity to be able to help people start their journey to financial freedom. This is such a great opportunity because in helping others to achieve their goals, ultimately I achieve my own. Plugging into the system, attending events, having a good work ethic, and being consistent and coachable is the key to success. I have a great leadership team, who despite being based in the USA, has coached and supported me and continues to push me to achieve another level.”
