It’s time for our annual installment of "Scary Truths from PlanNet Marketing." The truth about following the Policies and Procedures and remaining legal and ethical in your business dealings can be very scary, but with a few tips and a healthy dose of knowledge, your PlanNet Marketing business won’t elicit fear in the hearts of you or your business partners.
Know the Rules, Follow the Rules
One dark, scary Halloween night, some independent contractors were just leaving their weekly meeting when a shadowy figure approached from across the foggy parking lot. As the figure drew closer, they saw it was a businessman; he had some questions and the contractors had better have answers!
Do you get scared just THINKING about answering a prospect’s questions? What if you don’t KNOW the answers!?! That’s easy! PlanNet Marketing has your answers.
Here at PlanNet Marketing we advocate a business that is compliant and duplicatable – follow the rules and teach others to do the same. Step one is always to KNOW the rules yourself. Educate yourself first. When you ride in an airplane, the flight attendants always remind you to put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others. If you can’t breathe, you won’t be able to save anyone else.
Get your oxygen masks out and prepare for anything. Learning the rules will give you the peace of mind that your business is compliant and ready to duplicate.
There really is no substitute for reading the rules for yourself. I truly wish each and every PlanNet Marketing Rep would read the entire Policies and Procedures document – all 23 pages of it! But the reality is that Reps often “agree” to be bound by these important rules without even a glance at the content of the pages. Nothing can compare to knowing the details, but I’ve created a one-page set of bullet points that gives you a high-level overview of many of these policies (not everything). Start by reading this one-pager! Once you get through it, dive into the full document. Not knowing these rules puts you and your business in danger of loss every minute of every day, and that is really scary.
