COMPLIANCE CORNER
Tis the Season!!! Ok, so I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but it's coming up fast. So is Christmas. I read a social media post recently that said "6 Saturdays until Christmas." *gulp* Uh, yeah. That fast.
With Black Friday and crazy holiday shopping right around the corner, remember to be nice! Why do I say that? Because being nice ain't easy. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. In fact, it's downright hard sometimes.
Being rude - that's easy…being snotty and nasty or saying mean things, hurting people’s feelings or their businesses or their relationships - that is easy.
It takes almost no effort to utter a nasty word, to frown, to grumble, to complain…to post all those negative things on social media.
You want to know what's hard? It's hard to smile when you've just been slighted. It's hard to listen politely when someone's saying something you don't agree with. It's hard to choose what's kind over what I'm feeling.
Anyone can stir up trouble, tell lies, tell truths (that aren't anyone's business), smash in windows and smash in hearts.
What's truly hard is being the bigger person. Not grumbling or arguing or starting unnecessary fights. It’s hard to see someone at their worst and still show love and grace and support.
I know we're all nodding our heads in agreement right now and thinking of someone else who needs this message more than we do. Right?
But we need it too.
I need it.
I need to remember this when I order my steak medium rare and it shows up on my plate medium well. I need to remember it when my husband promises to do yard work and doesn't get around to it for a week…or two. I need it when someone posts a negative comment about my business on my social media page. I need to remember that sometimes people make mistakes and have bad days and say mean things and that's just life.
I need to remember that no matter what someone else does or says, I'm responsible for me and my actions.
I choose nice. I choose kind. I choose polite and helpful and respectful.
Be the light this holiday season. Light up this PlanNet!

MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR AMANDA RUGGS-OWENS!
New One-Star Director Amanda Ruggs-Owens says she loves to travel! Her interests also include college football, mentoring youth, her sorority, and making memories with her loved ones. Amanda has traveled to most of the United States, with eight states left to visit! She says, “I am still working on my list of the Caribbean Islands. As soon as Leah arrives (expecting January 2018) we are back to it! She will be my new travel buddy!”
Her tips for success are that consistency and relationships with your team are the keys. “It seems like nothing is moving, then all of a sudden the pipe explodes! Trust your process. Stay coachable! You think you know but you have no idea! I learn something new every week from my sponsor Two-Star Director Rasheba McGowan, her sponsor Three-Star Director Letoria Mayberry, and her sponsor Four-Star Director Orlanda Moore. Trust your sponsor/leadership - there is a reason you are in their organization. Obstacles come but they don't last. Your mindset can make or break you.”
MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR ROGER LILLARD!
New One-Star Director Roger Lillard is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and now resides in College Park, Maryland. Roger tells us, “I love supporting my twins Nia and Roger Lillard, Jr. RJ plays Varsity football and Nia is in the Color Guard at Reservoir High School. I'm a huge Steelers fan and I love to travel. I have 21 years experience in network marketing and have a mad passion for the industry. Self development has truly helped me excel in this industry as well as continuously remaining humble in all my success. Staying true to yourself and building relationships will help you become successful here with PlanNet Marketing.
MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR SONYA PHILLIPS!
New One-Star Director Sonya Phillips is a native of Atlanta, GA and resides in Decatur, GA (Metro Atlanta). She has been married for 28 years with two children: a son, Christian, 24 and a daughter, Sydnei, 20. Both are in the business because they love to travel - they have been traveling since they were young. Sonya’s background is in Human Resources, specializing in Retirement Benefits.
Sonya says, “I love entertaining, dancing, music, tennis and most importantly - TRAVELING! Travel is what sparked my interest in this opportunity as I was planning my daughter’s high school graduation cruise. I have traveled to Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Punta Cana, Bahamas, Mexico, Canada, and several popular destinations across the US. I plan to use this opportunity to see many more places around the globe.
“My success wasn’t quick, but I never gave up! Reaching One-Star Director is important to my family because the PlanNet Pledge ensures my family legacy income. I’ve been able to achieve success at PlanNet Marketing by staying plugged in at all times to the daily calls, weekly meetings, leader coaching sessions, and the Super Saturday and Convention events. I don’t miss events that I’m qualified to attend. It has helped build my posture in the business and with our travel product. Keep yourself surrounded by positive and focus-driven people in PlanNet Marketing and you will push yourself to grow to new levels! Reading self development books will help as you are now leading others to gain success. I am very humbled and appreciative of my team that helped me reach this level.”

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
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.
-- Policies and Procedures are located in your Virtual Office in the Information Center (go to Resources, then Policies and Procedures).
