PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Garceau Alexander to the 20/20 Club! Garceau is originally from Columbus, GA and currently resides in Newport News, VA. She tells us, “My interests include travel, of course, lol. But I do love meeting friends for brunch, photography, and reading!
“The funny thing is, I'm retired military. So, people often wonder why I chose the travel business. Military travel and the way we travel (for recreation) is so different. Although I did 22 years in the military, I can say I've traveled more in the last two and a half years than I have in all of my military service. And I've my businesses to thank for it.
“I’m achieving success by staying close to the fire, staying plugged in, being coachable, keeping my head down, and blocking out anything negative. I watched my One-Star and Two-Stars rank recently. With that, I got a front row seat to witness what the work actually looks like. From there, I mimicked what they did to achieve 20/20 and will continue to reach Directorship.”
MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER NATASHA CUMMINGS!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Natasha Cummings to the 20/20 Club! She tells us, “I am originally from the beautiful Island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines; however, I currently live in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am a mom of three amazing young men ranging from 19 to 25, I am a wife to my amazing husband, Clinton Cummings, for almost 25 years. My whole career has been working for the Department of Defense (DOD). I am coming up on 18 years working with them. I have a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Management, and a Master’s in Human Services. I currently work as a Budget Analyst for the Air Force. I am also the Youth Director for my church.
“My interest is always in giving back. I love teaching others and sharing my passion to let others know that it can be done. Working for the government has allowed me to travel for work, but because of PlanNet Marketing, owning my own travel business has taken it to another level. I have travelled more since starting my business, and can’t wait to see all the other places I can check off my “To Do List.” We no longer have a bucket list. It’s now called a “To Do List” of destinations to visit. I’ve been to Jamaica, Honduras, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, and Mexico. I am planning on visiting Aruba for my husband's birthday.
“I am achieving success in PlanNet Marketing honestly by following my coaches. There’s a lot of coaches to mention; however, Director Ima Wideman is very special. She has never given up on me, even when I wanted to give up. The tips or technique I would share is to follow the system that’s already in place and be coachable. Plugging in is the BIGGEST thing, if you don’t know something, don’t be afraid to ask a question. The way I have achieved success is by remaining coachable, and having the determination to never give up. I truly love teaching others about this business. I love learning new things, and the leadership at PlanNet Marketing has taken my learning to another level.
“A little fun fact about me: I had a Caribbean restaurant here in Fairbanks for eight years, where I took people’s taste buds to the Caribbean by cooking some amazing authentic Caribbean food. Now when I travel and return, I try to recreate the meals from my vacation and put a Caribbean spin to them.”
MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER KEISHA EVANS!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Keisha Evans to the 20/20 Club! Keisha tells us, “I am a wife, mother, student, and entrepreneur. I love spending time with my family and working my business. Most importantly, my main passion is traveling with my family.
“During the year 2020, I had to come home to be with my children due to lack of childcare. Unsure of where my business would end up, I was determined to put my feet to the ground and work. To my astonishment, my organization grew, as well as my downline's teams. Travel would turn out to be successful for me and my team. While airlines were down, I noticed that rental car sales and hotel bookings were climbing. My family and I took three road trips during the year of 2020.
“A fun fact about me is that my family has been to Orlando, Florida every year since 2014.”
MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER ROBIN SHEPHERD!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Robin Shepherd to the 20/20 Club! Robin was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. She tells us, “I am a wife, a mother of two grown sons, and I have five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. I currently wear several hats; as a member of a mobilization/implementation team in international critical infrastructure, I head up large construction projects across the globe; I am also the Director of Community Affairs and host of a local radio show. Now I have returned to one of my deepest passions – travel, and assisting others in doing the same!
“I have affectionately been known in the community and on radio as “Bubbling Brown Sugar” since 1985. I utilized my popularity to start a travel club because I learned of the escort package benefits, so I would always ask the booking agent, ‘What is my “magic number?’ For air/land it was normally 20 packages, for cruises it was 15 passengers – I knew that if I sold at least that amount, most of my cost would be covered. I JUST WANTED TO TRAVEL. I was selling so many groups, the owner of the agency offered me the opportunity to be an ‘outside agent’ for her company. I did that for a couple years – and as such, developed even larger groups to everywhere imaginable…my favorite being Jamaica! I attended trade and travel shows, cultivated relationships with BDMs and tourist boards, etc. But back in the day, my first group cruise was aboard the Dolphin IV, which was 8,977 GT built in 1956 – CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!?? Ships today are closer to 300,000 GT!! It was like being on a rowboat!! But you talk about fun!! That is when they had passenger talent shows and you actually sang with the band! I impersonated Tina Turner, some of my group were my Ikettes!! We were stopped everywhere we went to say how much they loved our performance of “Proud Mary!!!’ I am proud to say, I recently recruited one of the individuals from that very cruise and we are preparing a 30 year reunion cruise – she remained in contact with all the original cruisers!!!!
“Fast forward to April 28, 2020 – I started my business on a part-time basis (which is still my status today) and began making great strides. Our leadership is amazing and so encouraging. Simply following the duplication of the PS3 allowed me to become a Gold Builder in record time, and I am just a few recruits away from DIT. I looked up one day and I was there!! I have One-Star Director in my sights and then the sky's the limit!!! My advice to those coming behind me is to carve out time for training and returning calls as if you were punching a clock at a traditional job. It is mandatory. You must learn to earn and stay engaged with your team. Allocate responsibilities to team members – for instance, birthday announcements and signup anniversaries. Let them know you care. It sounds trivial, but it is morale-building.
“Lastly, this business is fabulous for my generation of ‘Baby Boomers.’ It is an easy and fun way to supplement our retirement. Retirement can be scary. But with this company, we can work smarter, not harder; we can work from our phones, in our homes; no gasoline required. I tell them not to set a goal for the amount they want to replace in retirement funds, because they might end up short-changing themselves!! Go for the gusto!!!”
MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER KEISHA TETER!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Keisha Teter to the 20/20 Club! Keisha is from Adamsville, Alabama, and currently lives in Dora, Alabama. She says, “Since starting this amazing journey, I’ve been able to create many first-time memories for myself and my family. Since February of this year, I’ve been able to travel to Biloxi, Gatlinburg, Orlando, Destin, Las Vegas, New Orleans twice, and Panama City Beach twice. I have 11 more trips planned for the year.
“I have achieved success in PlanNet Marketing by being coachable, consistent, listening, going live often, following in the footsteps of my amazing directors, Kevin and Latrice Jones, and always remembering my reason WHY. Also remember to never give up, keep pushing and reaching for the stars.
“A fun fact about me is that I love an adrenaline rush. I absolutely love trying new rides and experiences. My dream is to visit every theme park in the world before I die.”
MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER NISHA WHINERAY!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Nisha Whineray to the 20/20 Club! Nisha is from Southampton, UK. She tells us, “Before I became a mama 18 months ago, I used to travel so much. I love pole fitness and aerial hoop, as well as strength training in the gym. I have visited much of Europe, Florida, New York, Vegas, India, Singapore, Bali, Barbados, Maldives, Sri Lanka – the list goes on. However, this past year I’ve been exploring more of the UK, which has been incredible.
“My biggest tip is to BE CONSISTENT. Small action daily leads to long-term results – the compound effect will pay off. You can achieve success quickly by being coachable, leveraging off other’s successes and then being a great leader and duplicating down through your team. Focus on helping others and success will follow.
“A fun fact about me is that I used to be a biker chick and hold a full motorbike licence!”
