The Scary Truth About NOT Following the Rules!



Here are more "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.

The Scary Truth About Being a PlanNet Marketing Rep
The Scary Truth About NOT Following the Rules!

Financial Freedom, Personal Freedom, Time Freedom – at PlanNet Marketing, we want our Reps to feel completely free! But these freedoms come at a cost.

In order to keep PlanNet up and running and to keep offering the amazing opportunities we have to so many, there are rules that must be followed. At PlanNet Marketing, our rules are called the Policies and Procedures, or P&Ps, as I lovingly refer to them. They govern how we do business every day. They keep me in line, they keep you in line, they keep us all on the same page and protected. Without these, we would be lost! NOOOOOO!

Oh yes, it’s scary, but true. Without the P&P’s there would be no PlanNet Marketing – and that my friends, is the scariest truth of all!

So, what do we have to do to keep ourselves on the right track and away from the scary shadows of non-compliance? FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!!!

It really is that simple: educate yourself by reading the P&Ps and reading my weekly compliance blog, send any questions or inquiries to Compliance@plannetmarketing.com and if you accidentally break a rule and I contact you about it – respond quickly with your plan to get back into compliance with the rules.

Now, for the really scary part – the consequences for NOT following the rules are dire!!

Violation of the Policies and Procedures, any law, or any act or omission by a Rep that may damage PlanNet’s reputation (even if the act isn’t related to your PlanNet Marketing business),
may result in disciplinary action!

Here’s the scary stuff – don’t follow the rules, and PlanNet may elect to:

• Issue a written warning or admonition
• Require the Rep to take immediate corrective measures
• Impose a fine, which may be withheld from bonus and commission checks
• Loss of rights to one or more bonus and commission checks
• Withhold from a Rep all or part of their bonuses and commissions during the period that PlanNet Marketing is investigating any conduct contrary to the P&Ps
• Suspension of the individual’s Rep account for one or more pay periods
• Involuntary termination of the offender’s Rep account
• Any other measure expressly allowed within the P&Ps
• Instituting legal proceedings for monetary and/or equitable relief

I know the list above is frightening, but remember, the scary stuff is in place to protect you and your business! If you have any questions about today’s scary truth or any compliance matter,
