WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB JOHNNIE BERRYMAN!

PlanNet Marketing welcomes new 20/20 Club member Johnnie Berryman. Originally from Dallas, TX, Johnnie now lives in Ardmore, OK. She shares, “ I have a diverse group of interests that include baking bread for the Women’s Shelter (my bread won two first place awards in the county), managing a successful lash salon, serving in the communion ministry, and most of all TRAVELING!  I’m the mother of one daughter and recently a widow. Building a legacy for my daughter, an only child, is of extreme importance to me. My greatest desire is to buy a condo in the Caribbean on the beach (where I will spread my husband’s ashes), as it was our plan to retire there. I have traveled extensively as a flight attendant for 17 years, seven of those internationally. Europe is my favorite destination although Australia is right up there!

“PlanNet Marketing came into my life at a time I needed something to move me forward. I read every day to learn as much as possible. Because of the great leadership and mentoring, just following the examples set before you are your recipes for success. I push myself and never miss an opportunity to help another family.

“My sincere gratitude goes to Mr. Bradley, Director Tina Pickens, Director J.P. Watkins and Coach Madeline Alexander.”
 

 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Amanda-headshot.jpg

The PlanNet Marketing Policies and Procedures include a lot 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 you 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 from when it’s due you will 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 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.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT Q&A

Q:  If my REP account goes inactive how long do I have to reactivate it?

A:  If your REP account goes inactive you have 60 days to get in good standing.

If the account is inactive longer than 60 days, your position will no longer be available. Please reference your Policies and Procedures regarding rules and regulations for your business with PlanNet Marketing. Call support at 470-443-9330 or email support@plannetmarketing.com  with any questions you may have regarding these rules.

~Policies and Procedures
2.4 Terms and Renewal of a PlanNet Marketing Business

An IR must renew their IR status monthly by remaining current on their monthly administrative fee of $19.95. If the IR allows his or her business to expire due to nonpayment of the renewal fee, the IR will lose any and all rights to his or her downline organization unless the IR reactivates within 60 days following the expiration of the agreement. 

If the former IR reactivates within the 60-day time limit, the IR will resume the rank and position held immediately prior to the expiration of the IR agreement. However, such IRs paid as level will not be restored unless he or she qualifies at that payout level in the new month. The IR is not eligible to receive commissions for the time period that the IR’s business was expired. 

Any IR whose agreement has expired and lapsed the 60 day grace period is not eligible to reapply for a PlanNet Marketing business for 4 months following the expiration of the IR agreement. Any IR terminated by PlanNet Marketing may not reapply to do business for 12 months from their termination date.

Willie-Marva-Jones-One-Star.jpg

Meet new One-Star Directors Willie and Marva Jones, who live in Kankakee, IL, a suburb of Chicago. Willie tells us, “I have been married to my lovely wife Marva Jones for 31 years. We have two children: Jazzmine, 27, who is going to nursing school, and Justen, age 26. Both of our children live in California. We have three grandchildren: Jaysen, 7; Justen Junior, 3; and our lovely Miss Jordan who is 1-1/2 years old. Yes they are
our WHY!”

He continues, “Some of our hobbies are restoring old cars like my 1957 Ford Fairlane, volunteering at church, helping others…and of course travel. The key to achieving our success in PlanNet Marketing is following the right leaders. Mr. Bradley put something in place where we could not lose…we are following his plan and duplicating his system. We are continuing to plug into the weekly meetings, to the calls, to the training, and we are most of all coachable and loyal to the system. And believe you me, we could not have done it without our great team. Marva and I are so excited and humbled to see what's going to happen next!” 
 

 

CONGRATULATIONS 20/20 CLUB MEMBER TISHA SPENCER!

spencer_2020.jpg

Welcome to the PlanNet’s 20/20 Club, Tisha Spencer! Tisha shares that she is from Bronx, NY and grew up in the Parkchester Condominiums. She currently lives in Capitol Heights MD, not far from DC.  Tisha says, “I have a varied lists of interests in my life!! I love a good movie with good cheese popcorn and prefer horror movies. I love to learn where things came from and why people do what they do. I love to cook and prepare meals without recipes! Once my chef instructors told me recipes were guidelines, out the window they went!

“Travel obviously is an interest of mine, and with my love of food, it makes my travel experiences so much more fun! I have been traveling since I was six; I have always enjoyed going to new places and experiencing new things in life. From culture, food, people and more, you never know what a new travel experience will bring! You don’t even have to leave your state to experience what travel has to offer. Learning about the history and culture of your own city can be exciting!

“Being an Army Veteran, I have traveled to Germany, Arizona, and South Carolina during active duty. Naturally while in these states I explored!! So far I have been to Punta Cana three times, once with my mother; to Jamaica twice; Haiti and Florida three times; Atlanta four times, and the Bahamas… and this is all within the past 23 months! And there are other states around the country and islands! My favorite is cruising, and I have three under my belt with two more planned.

“I have seen a lot and learned a lot, which is helping me achieve success with PlanNet! By learning early that everyone has different views in life, it helps me to understand them better and to figure out how to show them how this opportunity could change their lives! I have learned from great leaders to be patient, to be kind and to leverage the talents of others when you need help. One thing that I love about PlanNet is that no one is rushing you to reach a goal, but once you say, “I’m ready,” you have everyone’s support! Once I said it and mapped out a plan, I hit 20/20 in a few months, while still working a full time job, and helping new partners learn and train! A fun fact about myself, let’s see..I still call or text my mom and sisters daily. We use technology to stay in contact even though we live in three different states! Next up is a family vacation!”
 

 

CONGRATULATIONS 20/20 CLUB MEMBER WILLIEMAE ELERY!

2020club_elery.jpg

New 20/20 Club Member Williemae Elery was born and raised in Sumter, SC and currently lives in O'Fallon, IL with her husband Clifton Elery. O'Fallon is a small town approximately 18 miles from downtown St. Louis, MO.

Williemae tells us, “I've always had a great interest in helping people. Growing up in a home with a mom that worked hard to raise six children, I used to imagine growing up and being able to make enough money to help poor people who were doing the best that they could but still not able to make ends meet. I met my husband in 1964, shortly after I graduated from high school. He was stationed at Shaw AFB, which is located in Sumter, SC, and we were married on May 27, 1966. Moving from one Air Force Base to another for 20 plus years gave me the "travel bug.” We were never at one location for more than four years until he retired from the Air Force in December of 1985. I also worked for the government, doing quite a bit of traveling for my job as a trainer for the Telecommunication Department. I retired in June, 2011 after working over 31 years! 
 
“I've been involved with several network marketing businesses and have never been very successful in any of them. I was introduced to PlanNet Marketing on July 24, 2016.  I was so excited when I heard the company was approaching nine months old. I've never been in a company in "the beginning." I attended a meeting on Monday evening, July 25, 2016 and on Tuesday, July 26th I called my friend who introduced this opportunity to me and I started singing to her "Sign me up for this opportunity.” Of all the companies that I've been involved with, PlanNet Marketing is the best. When I tell that to my friends they laugh and say, "WillieMae, you said that about the last one.” This company IS different. The leadership is the best that I've ever seen. All of the leaders are willing to help, even if you are not on their team. Mr. Bradley has created a culture in this company where there are no ‘Big I’s and Little You's.’ You are actually able to walk right up to a Director and talk with them. They are available so you can speak to or have a conversation with them. We are all treated like individuals and not just another number.

My Three-Star Director Mr. Tony Fleming and my One-Star Director Ms. Lisa Adams Horsley are the best.  They are like a breath of fresh air. They are the best leaders that I've ever had. Ms. Horsley coached me in March of this year and I won the basketball and the opportunity to attend the Directors-In-Training meeting at the Convention in Las Vegas. Her coaching is AWESOME!!! She also coached me to help me be in the 20/20 Club. I did everything that she told me to do and of course it happened just like she said it would. I am going to continue to listen and do whatever she tells me to do all the way to Directorship and even after that.

I would tell everyone to listen to their mentor and coach and do what they suggest. They are the ones with the ‘fruit on the tree.’ Listen to them and you will get ‘fruit on the tree’ also. I am on all of the calls; I attend every event that I am qualified to attend,and I read the books that my mentors suggest that I read.

I love helping people and I love having good clean wholesome fun. My best form of having fun is singing at karaoke parties. I love dressing up like I am Tina Turner and singing Proud Mary.  My husband said to me, "Don't you think you are getting too old for that?" and of course I told him no and that you are only as old as you feel. "Age ain’t nothing but a number!!”
 

 

CONGRATULATIONS 20/20 CLUB MEMBER CHRISTA CALDWELL!

caldwell_2020.jpg

New 20/20 Club member Christa Caldwell tells us, “To live life abundantly has always been my focus in life and the travel industry has added great value towards this mission. I am 38 years old, a wife, mother, teacher, and a travel agent. My roots are from Louisville, Kentucky where 98% of my family still resides. However, I was raised in South Orange, NJ; so I am a Jersey girl at heart. 

“I love the performing arts and love working with people, so I guess it is safe to say this is why I must love network marketing. I’ve been in the travel industry for almost four years now and I can’t let it go. When I first came into the industry, I knew that it was the industry that my spirit was calling me into. There were so many loved ones dying and I realized even more that tomorrow isn’t promised and we need to spend as much time as possible with those we love. The travel industry allows for us to do just that. Not only can you travel like an insider but you are also connected with amazing individuals and have access to a self-development program that is second to none. 

“Prior to joining PlanNet Marketing, I was in a previous travel company that taught me the basics. I was successful because I was passionate about travel but I also followed the system. When I decided to make my transition to PlanNet Marketing, I followed PlanNet’s duplicable system, which allows us all to win. I was inspired by many people, but I was the only one who could motivate me. During this time period, it seemed like everything was going crazy in my life but I continued to press through the pain because I saw the promise and I was going to get there. 

I’m so excited to be a part of this amazing company and I know this is just a pit stop for me. I had to start over in the travel industry but I am okay with that because what this company has to offer needs to be shared with everyone who will listen. It is up to us and the faith we have in our creator to live the kind of life that God designed for us. There are many vehicles that can be driven to get there but if you keep driving, eventually you will end up where you belong.”  
 

 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Halloween may be over, but we still have one more scary truth about the PlanNet Marketing Policies and Procedures to cover this season. Keep in mind, these rules were all put in place to protect each and every one of our valued PlanNet Reps – but no protection can be in place without some consequences for rule-breakers. So here we go...

The Scary Truth – What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You!
*MUUUUAAAAAH AH AH AH*

Amanda-headshot.jpg

Sometimes when life gets a little too crazy, hard, or scary, we just want to crawl into bed, put our heads under the covers and pretend like none of it is happening. Pretend everything is fine and good. Don’t ask questions, don’t take names. Just forget about it all and try again tomorrow…or next week. Things will look better in the morning. Right?
 
But, ignorance ain’t bliss ya’ll – it’ll cost you everything if you’re not careful.
 
As a PlanNet Marketing Rep, it is your responsibility to KNOW and FOLLOW the Policies and Procedures. If you’re not familiar with our policies, you may be unknowingly breaking any number of rules. Did you read my previous scary truth about NOT following the rules? The list of consequences is kinda long and veeeeerrrrrrrrrry scary!!!! *pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase, NOOOOOOOOOOO*
 
Oh yes. It’s true! You could be out there working your tail off to build your PlanNet business, but if you’re breaking the rules you could end up losing commissions, your place in the matrix, your team, and you could lose your whole business! BE CAREFUL!

Blindly following the leader isn’t a fun childhood game, it’s a game-changer in network marketing. If you want to copy a cat, make sure it’s the right cat. *gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr, HISS HHIIISSSS*
 
Go to your Virtual Office now, look under Resources, and download your own personal copy of the Policies and Procedures. Then, tune into my weekly blog for tips on making these rules work FOR your business, not AGAINST it. If you have any questions about today’s scary truth or any compliance matter, please email me at Compliance@plannetmarketing.com.  I love answering your questions and I promise not to bite.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT Q&A

Q:  How do I know if my Rep autoship ($19.95) declined?

A:  When a Rep monthly autoship ($19.95) declines, three things take place:

  1. You get an email from PlanNet Marketing stating that there was a problem processing your autoship.

  2. If you log in to your Virtual Office, you will see a message across the top of your screen telling you the payment declined and the steps necessary to fix it.

  3. Our PlanNet Support Team will place an outbound call to you and let you know the payment declined, followed by an email if they are unable to reach you.

We cannot stress enough the importance of having up-to-date contact information on file so we can reach you if there is a problem. Please login to your Virtual Office or call Support at 470-443-9330 or email support@plannetmarketing.com to update any account information.
