Compliance Corner
At PlanNet Marketing you might have heard that you are in business FOR YOURSELF, but never by yourself. We are always here to support you and your team.
Just keep in mind, when you’re out there selling this business – you need to promote the business of YOU!
That’s right don’t sell “PlanNet Marketing,” instead sell the home-based entrepreneur who is reading this right now. We get it, people want to know who you’re working with, and we love when you share that – we work hard to ensure that our business is run with integrity and transparency so you can share us with the world. But sometimes our Reps forget that what people are really signing up for is a business relationship with you. They know YOU. They like YOU. They trust YOU!
Here are a few items to keep in mind when advertising your business to sell ITAs and recruit Reps:
1) Your Company Branding. Reps must use their own branding and not include PlanNet Marketing’s (or Inteletravel's) name, logos or proprietary information (videos, images, etc.) on their personally created websites or social media pages. If you want our name and logo – you gotta use our website or materials that we create! If you create a social media page or group – it’s not going to say OUR name – it should say YOUR name! If you create a flyer for a meeting – it shouldn’t have our logo on it.
2) Independent Rep. PlanNet Marketing partners with our Independent Reps to sell ITAs. It’s a really fantastic relationship and we value you immensely! But Reps are separate from PlanNet – they aren’t corporate employees and shouldn’t act like they represent our corporation – don’t add the name “PlanNet” to your email address, don’t answer the phone “PlanNet Marketing” and don’t create flyers or social media accounts with our name on them – put YOUR name out there and grow your business. If you want to ensure people connect you with us, then make sure you identify yourself as a Rep. It’s easy to add that title to your page, email signature or even business cards.
3) Get It Approved! As always, if a Rep wishes to create their own flyers, websites or other marketing materials it MUST be reviewed and approved by compliance. You can email Compliance@plannetmarketing.com to request a review of your material at any time.
At PlanNet Marketing, we want you to succeed! Let us know if you have any questions about how to market the business of YOU! We want to help you do it in a compliant and successful manner. Email us today!
