With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

You, my friendly neighborhood PlanNet Rep, are POWERFUL!

Every word that you say, type, post, blog, vlog, chat, (you get the point) is a representation and extension of PlanNet Marketing.

When you’re sharing your personal opinions and feelings on your social media feed one minute, and sharing an upcoming PlanNet Marketing Business Opportunity meeting the next minute – people associate your opinions and statements with PlanNet Marketing. Is that a good thing? Or a bad thing? Depending on how you’re representin’, it could be a scary thing, a dangerous thing.

When you have a prospect who decides they aren’t interested in enrolling as a Rep or purchasing an ITA – how do you respond? Do you wish them well and let them know you’ll still be waiting with open arms if they ever change their mind? Or do you tell them they don’t matter 'cuz you got bigger and better places to go and people to see?’ You said WHAT?!

We are all about GROWTH at PlanNet Marketing. The secret to that growth, that you might not have heard – IT’S RESPECT.

Every person you meet or encounter while doing PlanNet-related business should walk away from you talking about how respectful and professional you are, and they should be amazed at your level of integrity. You can attend every meeting, participate in every phone call, follow the PS3 system ‘til you’re blue in the face – but if you are RUDE to people – you will never come out on top.

Show respect. Be kind. Make people WONDER at your friendliness. They’ll have no choice but to keep coming back to you for your encouragement and support.

PlanNet Marketing prides itself on the quality and character of our Reps – make us proud, ya’ll.

CONGRATULATIONS TO JASMINE JOHNSON FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR AND 60/60 CLUB!

6060_jasmine_johnson.png

Congratulations to Jasmine Johnson for achieving One-Star Director and 60/60 Club! Jasmine was born and raised in Thomasville, GA, and says she plans to relocate very soon. She tells us, “I am a wife and mom of three, and most importantly, a businesswoman. 

“My travel was put on hold this year, but I am visiting Destin Beach and Cancun in May and June, and of course, Dallas, Texas in August. I plan to book more trips for myself this year. 

“If I could give anyone a few tips I would say remain consistent, coachable and be humble. I believe in manifesting. I would suggest creating a vision board and knocking those goals down. 

“I love having fun and helping families get their businesses started, because I know we are working toward something great! I am so blessed to have been presented with this opportunity. And remember, Jasmine is rooting for you!”

MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR VENITA WILSON!

director1_Venita_Wilson_mini.png

Congratulations to Venita Stewart-Wison for achieving One-Star Director! Venita was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. She tells us, ”I left Tampa to attend college at Tuskegee University, and post graduation, due to job opportunities, I moved to Chicago and then Atlanta before heading back home to Tampa in 2011. After my return to Florida, I married my junior high school classmate,  Christopher, blending our family to become the proud parents of five children: J’Nai, Isaiah, Chris II, Rashard and Brittany. Our youngest, J’Nai, is scheduled to graduate college in May, after which we will be even prouder empty-nesters!! 

“I love all things family, all things fitness (likely due to being an athlete throughout childhood, high school and college), serving my community personally as well as through my beloved sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and continuous personal development. I find that I thrive within an environment where I’m learning, growing and stretching myself beyond the “status quo.” 

“My fondest travel memories date back to being on the beach in the Bahamas with my sisters as young as six years old, then traveling back with my daughter while she was around the same age! I have experienced girls’ trips, family trips and romantic getaways with my husband all over the continental US, as well as the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Antigua and Mexico. As you can see, I have a special affinity for fun in the sun, beaches and palm trees!  I’m looking forward to future travels all around Europe, Africa and Asia. 

“I attribute my success in PlanNet Marketing to transferring my education and corporate skill set to this endeavor, but more importantly by embodying the three C’s – that is, by being Coachable, Committed and Consistent. To be completely transparent, there were occasions where I embodied only one or two of the three and it hindered my ability to move forward. BUT, when I aligned all three, capturing that One-Star Director promotion became inevitable. For those in pursuit of something greater, commit to your goal, be consistent in the work necessary to get there, and yield to coaching, so that you can secure a legacy for your family! We spend a lot of time building the dreams of others rather than focusing on building those of our own!! We have the vehicle to help us realize our dreams by leveraging what we learn and earn in PlanNet Marketing!! Find YOUR freedom, by creating it for yourself! 

“A fun fact about me: although I’m only 5’1 and 1/2 inches tall, I held the triple jump record at my high school for six years!  You couldn’t convince me at the time that I wasn’t a mixture of FloJo meets Spud Webb!”

MEET NEW 40/40 CLUB MEMBER TIFFANY ALDRIDGE!

4040club_tiffany_aldridge.png

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Tiffany Aldridge to the 40/40 Club! Tiffany says she is from a little town called Naruna, Virginia but moved when she was younger to Lynchburg, Virginia. “I enjoy playing the piano for my church, spending time with my family, traveling and working my business. I am a basketball coach’s wife to an amazing husband. I have three beautiful children who keep me on my toes. I’m a football mom to my 15-year-old son, Girl Scouts co-leader to my 10-year-old daughter, and my 4-year-old son mastered how to take naps at school but not on the weekends, haha. I love to travel and have been to several states as well as Jamaica, Mexico, Cayman Islands and the Bahamas. 

“I work full-time at a cancer center and work my business on a part-time basis, but am seeing full-time results. I absolutely love being a part of the PlanNet Marketing family. This business is designed for a busy person. I love the culture and family that we have with this business. You are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. I am thankful for my team and everyone I have met through PlanNet Marketing. We have great leadership here that provides us with the blueprint and the keys to be successful.”

 
 

PLANNET MARKETING WELCOMES NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBERS!

2020-logo-text.jpg
 

MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER KIRSTY JACKSON!

2020club2_jackson_kirsty.jpg

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Kirsty Jackson to the 20/20 Club! Kirsty is originally from Lancashire, UK and is now living in Cheshire with her husband and two children. She loves socialising with friends, eating out, yoga, and of course, travelling!

“As a family we love to travel! We lived in the Algarve for five years and Dubai for four years before returning back to the UK. Over the past few years, we have also enjoyed visiting Spain, Lisbon, Cyprus, Abu Dhabi and more recently last year, the beautiful city of Venice.

"As far as tips and techniques, I’d say just follow the process! We have the most amazing training tools, so don’t reinvent the wheel! Stay true to yourself and who you are – people buy into the leader before they buy into the vision, so just be natural and let them see how passionate you are about this amazing opportunity.

“Set your goal and commit to reaching it every single day. Stay consistent, both in your prospecting and social media (if this is how you build your business) and even when you feel that you’re not getting anywhere – keep going! The results will come.

“A fun fact about me is that I appeared in ‘Ahlan’ magazine (UAE’s version of ‘OK’ magazine) for attending the Harry Potter premiere in Dubai, dressed as a witch!”

MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER KRISTEN MCCLUNEY!

2020club2_mccluney_kristen.jpg

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Kristen McCluney to the 20/20 Club! Kristen says she is from the very small town of Union, SC and currently lives in Columbia, SC. “I went to USC for nursing school and have been a nurse for almost ten years. I’m single, no children, and living my best life! My interests are traveling and trying new foods. I love to travel and I’ve gone mostly stateside, but have been to the Bahamas and Mexico. I’ve taken 35 vacays within the last 18 months!!!

“How I’m achieving success at PlanNet Marketing: When I first got started I wasn’t coachable. I did my own thing for a few months, but once I got out of my own way, success was around the corner. I had no network marketing experience, no network, and no business experience, and only four friends, so I attached myself to my sponsor and one of my Directors in particular. I did what they did, I said what they said, and I started getting the same results. I started June 7, 2019 and was able to achieve Directorship on August 31, 2020. The no’s built me and the yes’s built my business. 

“Tips I would share would be to stay plugged in, attach to your leaders, and don’t let life take you out. Sacrifices will also be needed. I sacrificed sleep, gave my dog to my mom, stopped unnecessary spending, gave up my season tickets to South Carolina Gamecock football games, family time, birthdays, holidays, dating and basically anything that wasn’t income-producing. I believe in PlanNet Marketing so much that I’m willing to sacrifice now for long term gain.”

 
 

THE LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON: LARRIETTE SIMMONDS

Screenshot 2021-03-16 095241.jpg

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I’m from Miami, Fl, and currently live in Pompano Beach, FL. I'm a stay at home mom to four beautiful birth children; I'm also a foster parent to two of my lovely nieces. I'm a wife of 13 years to my wonderful husband who’s been in my and our children's lives for the last 19 years. I worked for corporate America for about three years until they fired me while on my sick bed after giving birth to my last daughter. When I'm not traveling, I love shopping; I'm an extreme couponer! I also enjoy having family game and movie night with my hubby and kids.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I've grown tremendously. I've learned to be a team player, and I'm a firm believer that there's no "I" in team. My team has made me into the awesome leader that I am today. PlanNet Marketing has taught me to be self-driven, consistent, coachable and most of all, motivated and hungry and to never give up.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My family drives me to push harder everyday. I don't want my children to have to work for anyone as they become adults. I have to do it for them, being the huge family that we are under one income. My husband motivates me by getting up every morning at 3:00 am to go to work, working so hard to take care of our family. It’s only right that I go hard in my business to lift some of the weight off of his shoulders.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My mom, because growing up she worked so hard with two jobs at a time, to make sure I and my six siblings never went without. Even through the struggles and not having a father figure in our lives, she made it happen as a single parent, no matter what life threw at us.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Hungry, determined, motivated

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
No matter how hard life gets, never give up! "When life happens, make life happen."

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
I will be a six-figure income earner, will have retired my husband and will be completely debt-free.

COVID Is NOT a Network Marketing Tool!

With Stimulus Checks going out to millions of Americans this week, it's tempting to try to pique interest by talking about the best way to spend that money – but please do not post about or talk to anyone about how they should or should not spend their stimulus money. I wrote previously about how seriously the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is taking the global COVID pandemic. It's been awhile, so here's a recap of why we at PlanNet Marketing are NOT using any crisis as a sales tool.

On April 24, 2020, the FTC sent out 10 warning letters to network marketing companies. The warnings were mainly regarding the promotion of dietary supplements along with COVID-19. The FTC also issued a few warnings regarding income claims associated with COVID-19. PlanNet Marketing has always operated at the highest levels of integrity – we want to help change people’s lives, but we need to do it in a fair and transparent way. Kevin Thompson, MLM Attorney, stated recently, “There is ZERO gray area here. The field cannot commingle any content with COVID.”

What does this mean for PlanNet Marketing Reps?

PlanNet Marketing is requiring our Reps to immediately cease the use of any COVID, Coronavirus, pandemic, crisis, quarantine, unemployment, or stimulus check talk in reference to their business. No gray area. If you are acting as a PlanNet Marketing Rep in person, over the phone, via messenger, via text, on a FB live or a social media post, on Zoom or in any other capacity – please do not speak about COVID. Please make sure that you and your team are not using any words, images, or even hashtags that would link our business in connection with the current global pandemic. Avoid buzzwords like "COVID-19, Coronavirus, Pandemic, Crisis, Stimulus Check, Unemployment," or similar in connection with your business.

What CAN we say about our business right now?

1) Opportunity. Talk about being a Rep with PlanNet Marketing! Go ahead and tell the world about how you are personally experiencing personal freedom, financial freedom, and time freedom. We love those posts! Tell the world how to "Design your amazing, ideal life through a lucrative home-based business model where YOU are in control!"

2) Product. Talk about the InteleTravel ITA. It's your product, so sell it. Make sure you don't talk about agent pricing or perks though. When you talk about the ITA, you should talk about selling travel, earning commissions (on travel sales), and learning about the travel biz! It's as simple as that. "It's rewarding. It's social. It's fun. It's TRAVEL and you can own it!"

3) Background. Feel free to share information and statistics about PlanNet Marketing and our Founders! We have some great info about our company right on our website and also in our presentation. You can also share info about InteleTravel and their leaders.

4) Income and Disclosure. Feel free to talk about the income potential that PlanNet Marketing offers, but please note that ANY TIME we talk about money, we need to reference the PlanNet Marketing Income Disclosure Statement (IDS). The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is very serious about providing consumers with accurate and complete information about earnings before that consumer makes a purchase. In our industry, it's super important to safeguard our business by always disclosing complete earnings potential as shown on the PlanNet Marketing IDS. All you have to do is include a link to that page with your online post -- https://www.plannetmarketing.com/en-us/Income-Disclosure.
