MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER CANDIS ATES!

New 20/20 Club Member Candis Ates shares that she was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. She met her husband, Christopher, an Atlanta native, eight years ago, which led to her immigrating to the United States in 2012 with their daughters, Jordan and Jada. They currently reside in Lawrenceville, GA and Candis works for Alpine Access as a Team Supervisor. Candis used to be a locomotive engineer and she speaks five languages: English, Afrikaans, Xhosa, Zulu, and Sotho! She has been to Germany and Lesotho, and is currently enjoying visiting different states in the US, looking forward to a Fam trip to Mexico this June! 

She says, “Spending time with my husband and kids is my most favorite thing to do. Exposing my children to different places, cultures and foods is important to me and was one of the reasons I joined PlanNet Marketing.  I made the decision to join on June 19, 2016. This opportunity made it possible for my family to travel; something we were not able to do previously because we simply could not afford it. When I took a look at the compensation plan, I knew that this was the vehicle that would lead me and my family to financial freedom. However, I had to overcome the fear of building and networking in a country in which I am fairly new. One day, I heard Four-Star Director JP Watkins say that FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real, and I said to myself "ah ha." 

Candis continues, “Even though I am new to network marketing, I have the distinct honor and privilege of being mentored by Three-Star Director Phillip Rollins, or as I call him, ‘Coach P.’  I attribute my growth to his mentorship and wealth of knowledge. I have the world of respect for this gentleman and I am truly grateful for his leadership. My personal sponsor, Nikki Jackson, has been very instrumental in my development as well. Her sheer determination and drive push me to go harder and to make adjustments, not excuses. Two-Star Director Lavonda Thornton has always been very supportive of my development and I have learned so much from her as well. I stay plugged in and run the plays my coach calls and allow myself to go through my process.  

I am excited about my future with PlanNet Marketing and I am proud of the culture Mr. Bradley has created here; this truly is a legacy company.

Wow! What an amazing event in Las Vegas! It was great to see so many smiling faces. You are the reason we get to do our jobs every day and we appreciate you all more than you know.

PlanNet Marketing took over Las Vegas last week for our National Convention! What an unbelievable event it was, and it was great to see all of your shining smiles at convention. Our registration desk was overflowing with an influx of PlanNet Reps and Directors. The Pep Rally reigned with an event that took the Bally's house down. PlanNet University classes were invaluable with all of the great special guest speakers, Director trainers, and training sessions. The finale was a jam-packed day of our General Sessions - videos, speakers, Black Card $100 bill giveaways, and an awards ceremony that truly showed the excitement and enthusiasm that makes all of us so proud to be a part of the best place on the PLANNET!

PLANNET MARKETING WELCOMES PHYLLIS COLLINS TO THE 20/20 CLUB!

PlanNet Marketing is proud to recognize Phyllis Collins as the newest member of the prestigious 20/20 Club. She tells us that as a single parent of two, with a son, 5, and a daughter, 2. She was born in Amarillo, TX and has lived in Houston for the past 13 years. Phyllis loves to travel and experience new things, enjoys helping people in the community and spending time with her family.

She relates, “I’ve been with the company since July 2016; this was my first time in network marketing. I knew nothing about the travel industry except the fact that I traveled and wanted to save on my own travel. On the marketing side, I’ve met some awesome leaders along the way who have helped me get to the next level. I’ve learned that you do not have to re-invent the wheel; there is a system in place, and once you actually plug into that system, you will be successful.”

To new people joining our company, she offers this great advice: 
➤  Work on personal development
➤  Be willing to invest time
➤  Always be coachable and teachable
➤  Stay plugged in
➤  Never miss an event that you qualify to attend
➤  Follow the PS3
➤  Always remember to follow up – keep a calendar and notes

PlanNet Marketing congratulates Phyllis Collins on achieving 20/20 Club Membership!

COMPLIANCE CORNER

My first job in high school was working the drive-thru window at my local Steak ‘n Shake. Not the most glamourous, but for $5.25 an hour, I donned my black apron and red bowtie and handed burgers, fries and shakes through that tiny window. I think all jobs require a certain amount of flexibility and this one was no different. My main responsibility was serving the drive-thru customers, but sometimes I had to make shakes or help with the front counter. Other workers would take breaks and I would help cover them for 15-30 minutes. Most of the managers at my restaurant were happy to sit in the back office and smoke and talk while we lowly workers covered each other’s breaks. But there was one – one manager I shall not ever forget. Why? Because he wasn’t the “norm,” he stood out, he went the extra mile. He NEVER asked one of his employees to do something that he wouldn’t do. In fact, when it was time for anyone to take a break – even the person washing dishes, he would go wash dishes for thirty minutes so they wouldn’t pile up while the dishwasher was gone. That set a precedent in my mind about what makes a good manager, a good boss, a good leader!
 
Fast forward a few years (or 17 years) and I’ve worked a few different jobs for lots of different bosses – all of them have their good qualities, but few have ever “washed the dishes” for me.
 
Until now.
 
I love working for PlanNet Marketing. LOVE IT. I have never worked for a company with so much integrity. It starts at the tippy-top. I know you all know who I mean – Mr. Donald Bradley and his wife Deborah.

These two are phenomenal people. Not just “bosses,” but LEADERS. They lead with integrity and they are willing to do everything they ask of those who work with and for them. And THEY DO IT! They do the grunt work, they make the tough phone calls, they deal with the difficult situations. They plan events and travel constantly to make your events successful. They're plugged in to the day-to-day stuff that needs doing. When I call and need something – they answer the phone! That’s what I call “washing the dishes.”
 
When you read the very first paragraph of the PlanNet Marketing Policies and Procedures, it states, “PlanNet Marketing is a values‐based company that prides itself on the quality and character of its Independent Representatives.” I’m proud to say that the quality and character expected of each of you – is modeled in our Founders.
 
You are never asked to do something that they can’t or won’t do. In fact, I’d wager they have already done it – all of it. Every single thing you’ve had to deal with in your business, from that first nerve-wracking presentation to getting along with someone on your team who you can’t stand – they’ve done it five times over.

The next time you find yourself in a business situation that makes you uncomfortable or frustrated, annoyed or exhausted; when you just don't know what to do next - figure out how you can "wash the dishes" for the other person. Take the extra step, extend your hand, go above and beyond, take responsibility, do what needs to be done to make it right -- WASH THOSE DISHES, people. 
 
This company truly is the BEST place on the PlanNet – and we’re so glad you’re here!
