PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Marcus Flakes to the 20/20 Club! Marcus is a native Houstonian and currently resides in Houston, TX. Marcus has four children and tells us that his reason for joining PlanNet Marketing was to end his family’s traditional belief that education guarantees a bigger salary on a job, which has only proven to be stagnant activity over time without a Plan B.
He enjoys reading, researching, coaching, and motivating youth and young adults. He loves to travel to destinations that are cuisine-inspired as well as to luxury hotels and resorts. Marcus has traveled and sailed to ten different countries during his Naval career, which prompted his passion for exploring different cultures. To date, his goals are to travel more and network at the same time. “There’s something exciting about traveling and networking as a career,” Marcus says.
Upon joining PlanNet Marketing, Marcus said he knew PlanNet Marketing and Inteletravel were the opportunity of a lifetime, considering his previous years of experience in network marketing. Never before had he functioned in the travel space, besides his interconnected skills in hospitality and culinary arts. His recent success in PlanNet Marketing has been based on becoming a master inviter by leveraging events and meetings with flyers on social media. He also discovered that his national influence in small business was a way to attract like-minded individuals, using the laws of attraction through compelling quotes on social media. Right now, his goals are to coach his partners to produce duplication.
Marcus advises people to sell the dream of financial, time, and personal freedom along with the mission to eradicate poverty, and enables ordinary people to have the chance to help others earn an extraordinary income. “Building wealth is the number one reason I am here and I intend to take as many good people as I can with me,” Marcus says. His philosophy is that selling yourself first is the art of connecting with people, because travel sells itself and the opportunity to start believing and dreaming again is what the majority of people need. Turning a need into a burning desire with a profound ‘Why’ creates energy that radiates a person’s level of enthusiasm when sharing something that can change someone’s life. “The fact that I have taken ownership of this opportunity has made my business grow in as little as seven months from the time I joined and I’m just getting started!”
Marcus strongly believes his success thus far has been based on modeling various PlanNet leaders’ behaviors, especially Mr. Donald Bradley. He integrated other leaders’ postures and mindsets into his keen personality coupled with his prior experience in business and network marketing. His ability to model and emulate different leadership styles has personally redeveloped his skill to coach and mentor others on levels he’s never been exposed to in traditional business.
