Treat Your Business Like a Business



PlanNet Marketing proudly offers an opportunity for people from every walk of life to work part time or full time toward freedom, flexibility and financial independence. We want to help you design your ideal lifestyle. For many people, joining PlanNet as a Rep is a part time or even just an “any extra time I have” deal. PlanNet might be your Plan B. Don’t let the ease of this business fool you – PlanNet might not be your number one income earner, but if you want to be successful, you need to start treating this business as a BUSINESS.  

How to Treat Your Business Like a Business:

1) Make a Plan. Not just a thought in your head type of plan either – write it down. Write down your goals for the next 30, 60, 90, 365 days. Write down steps to reach those goals – how are you going to find new Reps and sell ITAs? Will you spend money on advertising? Use social media to advertise for free? Figure out your strategy and then come up with some actions to carry it out. Create a list of what you can do each day to grow your business – contacting new prospects, following up with current prospects, connecting with your current upline or downline, planning to attend local or online events. A plan will keep you on track.

2) Create a Schedule. Businesses have business hours. You’re running a business, so set aside a specific time frame each day, week, month for your business. Defining when you’ll do the things you wrote down in step 1 is super important. It’s too easy to prop your feet up and watch TV, folks.

3) Invest in Your Education. I’m not talking about college – I mean your BUSINESS education. PlanNet Marketing offers daily and weekly calls and webinars as well as weekly and monthly Zoom meetings in the US, UK and Mexico. We also host an annual International Convention. Don’t miss a meeting you are qualified to attend! Get yourself on calls and to virtual events (and hopefully some in person events later this year!).

4) Track Results. Keep track of how you’re doing. If you created a 60-day goal to get three new Reps on your team and at the end of that 60 days you have five new Reps, you’re gonna want to see that growth and duplicate those same efforts! In the same way, if you get three new Reps in the first 30 days and no one in the second 30 days, maybe you want to look back and see what you did differently in the second half of that time frame. Tracking your results helps you see what works for you, and what does not. It’s also an excellent way to keep your plan as your focus.

5) Don’t Ignore Your Business. Might seem like a no brainer, but don’t ignore this business – make sure you stay active! You are investing money to take part in this and you should log in to your Virtual Office AT LEAST once a month to ensure you remain active – it would probably be a wise idea to log in more often and put the extra effort into growing your business, too! To enjoy all the benefits of being a Rep with PlanNet Marketing, you must remain active by paying your monthly account fee of $19.95. If you don’t pay your monthly fee, you risk missing out on commissions! An inactive Rep is no longer eligible to receive weekly commissions.  A Rep who is inactive for 30 days or more is no longer eligible to earn residual commissions. A Rep who allows their business to remain inactive for 60 days or more will lose all rights to their downline and Matrix position. If that Rep doesn’t reactivate within the 60-day grace period, PlanNet considers their account cancelled and their agreement with PlanNet is expired.  We monitor for inactive accounts and turn them off weekly. The Rep who owned the now canceled account must re-enroll (under the same sponsor) and begin building their team from scratch. Ranks or qualifications from the old account do not transfer to the new one.

When you take your business seriously and treat it like a real business, others will see that and respect it. They will want to join you! Just try it and see. For a growing number of Reps, PlanNet Marketing is now Plan A – the main income source for their family, and it could be for you too. Just check out our Income Disclosure statement to see how much our Reps earn.
