WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB RAHSTAMOND AND KHEUNTANESE BLAIR!

New 20/20 Club members Rahstamond and Kheuntanese Blair are originally from Birmingham, AL, and have lived in San Antonio, TX for the past 13 years. Rahstamond has a sales background in health insurance and Kheuntanese is a nurse currently working for Humana, Inc. They are are the proud parents of four children and enjoy spending time with family and traveling with their kids. They have traveled to Disney World five times in the past six years, saying, “This opportunity couldn't have landed in our lap at a much greater time than now with our frequent trips!” 
 
They share, “Our success in this business has come from following the leadership and system that has been put into place. There's no need to repave a course that has been outlined on how to achieve success, when the success has been proven! We are expecting a lot of great things to happen in the near future. As long as we stay persistent and coachable, the success will come without a doubt!”
 
Fun Fact: “We were the high school couple with the longest first names! I guess you can say we still like each other after all of these years!”

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB LANESA LEE!

Welcome to the 20/20 Club LaNesa Lee! LaNesa tells us that she is “30 years young and a single mother of four amazing young men, ages 13, 12, 9, and 4 years.” She loves spending time with family, enjoys reading (personal development is key), enjoys bowling, and loves cooking!  LaNesa says, “I have a passion for travel and a heart to help others. So PlanNet Marketing is a perfect fit for me! It truly gives me life to pour into the lives of others and to help them believe - to not only believe in themselves but to also believe in the purpose God has for their lives. I truly believe that everyone deserves to live by their dream and not by their circumstances. I believe if it is to be, it’s up to me! When you truly believe that the sky’s the limit, there's nothing you can’t do. I also believe that if you shoot for the moon you will land among the stars, so I just keep shooting for the moon. I also encourage my team to keep shooting for the moon and one day we will all land among the stars. One-Star here I come. #FoodStampsToPassportStamps!

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB KATINA PICKENS!

New 20/20 Club member Katina Pickens was born and raised in Waxahachie, TX. She is the sixth of nine children, having five sisters and three brothers, “raised by a strong, loving, caring, and God-fearing mother who is 73 years old.” Katina has lived in Oklahoma for the past 24 years, now living in Ardmore with her fiancé  Donnie Willis, Jr. She is the mother of daughter, Ashley, and son, Keyon, and the grandmother of two gorgeous little granddaughters - Paris, 11 months and Jewel, 8 months old.
 
Katina tells us, “I absolutely love spending time with my family, I love cooking, and love traveling with a passion. I am very warm-natured so of course I love the beach, ocean, and warm sun - anything tropical. Over the past years I have traveled to Cozumel, Cancun, Jamaica, and Clearwater Beach, FL. I have also been to Las Vegas, Atlanta, and New Orleans several times because I love the food and the atmosphere. I would love to travel more and experience other cultures in different countries.
 
“That is one of the reasons I joined this business -  to travel more and earn more. I am driven to succeed so that I can retire from my 18-year job in corporate America, and even with three degrees I never seem to move up. My WHY is huge enough to keep me motivated every day to stay plugged in on calls, attend meetings, promote launch events, and work on my personal development, which is reading 30 minutes or more every day (Go Pro, Building an Empire, and The Slight Edge). You have to be coachable, consistent, and have knowledge about both of your businesses. It’s not about me, it’s about how I can help someone else. 20/20 is just another level and I am running to the next level!”

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Videos, flyers, 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, you have to contact Compliance to get approval - preferably, email us BEFORE you start creating this presentation. 

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.  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. 

Let’s work together to safeguard and promote the good reputation of PlanNet Marketing and its services.

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB SONYA BARNES

PlanNet Marketing’s new 20/20 Club member, Sonya Barnes, relates, “I’m originally from a small but proud agricultural community known as Belle Glade, FL, located in the sunny southern part of the state. I just recently moved from Jacksonville, FL in the north to my new home state of Maryland! I'm a mother of three wonderful children, wife of a loving husband, and an educator pursuing my Doctorate degree while working this business on a part-time basis. Now that I have access to a limitless amount of travel opportunities through this business, I will be going on more vacations like the 8-day/7-night Hawaiian vacation my hubby and I have experienced, as well as more international family vacations with the kids!

I attribute my success in PlanNet Marketing to consistently remembering my WHYs, which are my children, especially my son who has non-verbal autism. He gives me the determination and drive to achieve all of my goals. I am determined to use this vehicle so that I can have the time and freedom to be more accessible for him. Also, I continuously share this opportunity daily with the people that I encounter, whether it’s via social media, in the doctor’s office, in the mall, or at the local grocery store! Any time or any place is as great as any to share this life-changing opportunity, offering other families the chance for personal freedom, time freedom and financial freedom. Consistency is key!
 
My short-term goal is to help all of the wonderful ladies who have joined me on this journey to build their businesses and reach their goals. Moreover, my long-term goal is to use the income from this business to establish my own school for children with autism and other disabilities. Focusing on my Whys will help me accomplish this goal and all other endeavors in my travel business. I’m over the moon about this business and so grateful for this opportunity in travel.”

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB KATHRYN CLARK

Welcome to the PlanNet Marketing 20/20 Club Kathryn Clark from Hyattsville, MD! Kathryn tells us her interests are bowling in her league, singing in her church choir, line dancing with friends, and traveling with family. She has traveled to Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. She relates, I am a proud “Generation Baby Boomer”, and I'm looking forward to retiring in the next four to five years. I plan to travel the world while sharing this opportunity with everyone I meet along the way!!”

Kathryn attributes her PlanNet Marketing success to the PS3 System, which she says is the most powerful tool to use.

                              P-  Piquing someone’s interest    
                              S - Sharing this wonderful opportunity    
                              3 - Three Way Call (with my awesome upline)
 
“I achieved success so quickly because I became a student of my own business, reading marketing books and attending meetings and events. I really believe in my success.”
 

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB TRIBEL NICKERSON

New 20/20 Club member Tribel “Bell” Nickerson is originally from Portsmouth, VA and now resides in Lithonia, GA. Tribel shares that she was on a flight to Atlanta from Washington, DC and the lady next to her was on her way to the first PlanNet Marketing convention at the Marriott in Atlanta. The woman invited Tribel to come and take a look at the business opportunity and she did! When she arrived she saw the culture, the leadership, and the excitement and knew she could not be left out.
 
She says, “What has gotten me to the point of reaching the 20/20 Club is the powerful system that PlanNet Marketing has put in place. The average person can simply follow the blueprint and achieve greatness, and since I am already a competitive person, it just aligned with who I am. My knowledge of the travel business helped me to propel myself to this level, which is only a pitstop for me in my journey to Directorship. I have allowed my coaches to coach me and I have stayed in a position of being coachable so one day I too could be a coach and give to others what was given to me.”

“I definitely want to live in my purpose and that is to help women across the globe to live a better quality of life and recognize they can create their own destiny without waiting on their knight in shining armor to arrive! I want to help people create the life they've always dreamed about. You can achieve that if you're willing to take the ball and run with it. When I'm able to help families live a better quality of life, that is probably the most enriching feeling that I get, because when I’ve given people the opportunity to live a better life, it is rewarding.”
 
“So this honor and acknowledgement from PlanNet Marketing of being 20/20 is one that I appreciate. There are so many more families that need my help and support to move from embracing and settling for average to really living in the true abundance of who they were born to be. And it may be that the words I am going to share will unlock that greatness within them.”

COMPLIANCE CORNER

It’s summer. At my house that means long, hot days with the kids who are out of school for the next few months. We play outside sometimes, we play inside any time mom gets too hot, we eat lots of popsicles, use lots of sunscreen, and I constantly must remind my teenage son to mow the lawn.
 
He does not enjoy mowing. In fact, he HATES it. Despises it even. If he’s outside playing football he’ll last for hours, but mowing the lawn? He’s inside every 10 minutes to get a drink of water or use the bathroom.
 
For Reps, following the Policies and Procedures might feel a little like mowing the lawn – you don’t want to do it. Maybe you even despise those silly rules. But did you know that it’s not only your responsibility to follow the rules – it’s your responsibility to tell us if someone else isn’t following them?!
 
That’s right – you’re supposed to report to Compliance (in writing) any violation of our corporate PlanNet Policies and Procedures and send any evidence to support your claim. Don’t worry – we’ll keep you and the info confidential so there won’t be repercussions for you.

Choosing not to mow your lawn for a few weeks might not seem like a big deal. In fact, my son asked me today why the grass couldn’t just be a few inches taller. What he doesn’t realize is if we don’t mow that lawn, City Hall could come out and issue a citation and/or a fine to me. It’s the same with PlanNet’s Policies and Procedures. We need to protect our company by following the rules and holding each other accountable to follow the rules. Just as I don’t want to draw negative attention from local city officials, PlanNet doesn’t want to draw negative attention from anyone.
 
Work together with me to keep our company the best place on the PlanNet by following the rules, folks!
