Silver RSD

Like so many people, I grew tired of worrying how the bills would get paid every month. I grew tired of working a job I didn't really enjoy, and that I knew would never create the life I wanted and deserved. But there was nothing worse than going to bed every night with the feeling that what I was reaching for, felt so far away.

So I decided to do something about it.

Believe it or not, the decision alone did wonders for me. It gave me a feeling of control and hope that I never felt working for somebody else!

And now I know why. Working from home has been an absolute blessing.

It's taught me how to work smarter, rather than work harder. It's helping me make more money, and at the same time create more time to enjoy it. It provides me with an opportunity to meet people just like me, and help them create the life and lifestyle they dream about.

I'm also living proof that this business really can change your life!

Working together was a dream of ours when Bob & I were married almost 4 years ago.   We had tried a couple other businesses, without great success, before finding AmeriPlan.  With our passion for helping others we felt this was an answer to our prayers, but also thought we could do it "our way"!  How wrong we were on that point!

 

Loving to travel, we took advantage of two major AmeriPlan events that cemented the foundation of our business. 

 

At Champion's Weekend in Houston we realized we didn't have to re-invent the wheel and if we did what others had done to be successful in AmeriPlan, we could be too!  We met our team leaders and other team members face to face, bonding immediately, and met many of the top income earners who went out of their way to encourage us. Seeing more clearly the magnitude of the company we're part of we left Houston with AmeriPlan in our hearts as well as our heads, achieving our first promotion soon after.

 

At National Convention '07 in Dallas we met even more team members and came home with a strategy that's made a tremendous difference in our business - to build for events and to NEVER miss any of them ourselves!

 

We've taken as many as 4 team members at a time to special events in Ft Lauderdale and several times have driven over 3 hours to large events in the Orlando area, meeting new IBOs and forming a special bond.  We encourage team members to go to special events in their areas and because of that our team members CAUGHT THE VISION, plugged into the systems already in place, and have gone on to reach their promotions too.

 

We love making a difference in other people's lives and want to thank several special people for making a difference in ours. Without Debbi Carroll's leadership and her encouragement to go to First Steps, the Blast and all the Conventions, to develop ourselves to be all that we could be, and to invite us to help with the team's training, we might still be trying to do it "our way" or we might have given up by now.

 

To you we say, CATCH THE VISION, put forth the effort and you'll be glad you did.  We also say don't quit before the blessings come your way!

Kellie

Kellie Blackwell, ESD
Team Leadership
Team Super Star Award
Silver RSD

As a microbiologist who also worked in the IT side of her chosen field for a combined 18 years in healthcare, Kellie traveled the world and obtained invaluable skills in research, contracts, communication, and training of others on software that could expedite their work.  During that time she also experienced the downside to working for someone else, enduring 6 mergers, lab takeovers and branch closings which resulted in changing jobs or starting over with other companies.

 
Deciding to take back control of her financial future and having a passion for helping others Kellie joined AmeriPlan in August of 2007 after her own extensive research and many, many questions for her sponsors, Bob & Susie Dickinson. 

 

Kellie made RSD in 30 days, becoming our team's SILVER SUPER STAR!  Talk about staying focused and persevering, she's the BEST!!

 
She went on to get to SRSD in May of 2008. 

 

Always willing to help others to also reach their life's goals Kellie has gone above and beyond in helping her team with whatever it takes to get the job done.  She's been willing to go the extra mile and walk side by side with those who are willing to plug into the systems AmeriPlan has in place for our success.

 
She's even been known to act as hostess by meeting other team member's guests and IBOs at the Orlando Regional Office!  Because of that positive attitude Kellie has seen the fruit of her labor with the promotion of her newest SRSD Hadi Mazaheri 

 Hadi Mazaheri

Hadi Mazaheri, SRSD
Provider Representative

 

Hadi was born in Iran and sent to America at the age of 17 by his parents, who had already nearly lost one son in the Revolution between Iran and Iraq and did not want to risk another, nor have him miss out on the opportunity for a higher education.  He came by himself, speaking no English, yet graduated in 4 years with a Bachelor's of Science in Medical Technology.  He has worked in the clinical laboratory for 20 years at Baxter Regional Medical Center, which serves 16 surrounding counties.  He is currently serving as Laboratory Information Systems Manager and prior to that was Laboratory Assistant Director.

 

Hadi joined AmeriPlan because he immediately recognized the business opportunity and explosive impact it could have in health care, since he is surrounded by many that don't have coverage, in his community of Mountain Home, Arkansas.  Like the rest of us, he would also be thrilled to experience the time and financial freedom that AmeriPlan can provide, while helping others at the same time.

 
Hadi worked as a provider rep for AmeriPlan and increased the number of providers with AmeriPlan.

As a single parent of five children Eugenia knows the value of our services.  She couldn't believe she could place everyone in her household on our Total Health Plus plan and have all the extra benefits it provides for such a low price.  She recently used the legal services and saved $200 right away.
 
She scheduled a First Practice Presentation right after joining and is a master at talking to her warm market, putting out flyers in restaurants and day spas, posting yard signs and was even allowed to place one of her signs in an Oriental market!  She believes in AmeriPlan, knows it works and wants to tell everybody about it!  She promoted to RSD in April 2008 and attended AmeriPlan's National Convention in June 2008.

Yvette Ortiz, RSD 
Jacksonville, FL
 
Yvette

Yvette grew up in New York and moved to Puerto Rico with her family in her teens. She graduated from college with a degree in Human Resources.

 
As a single mom she started with AmeriPlan about a year ago to provide a better life for her daughter Alexandra and was working two jobs to make ends meet. Her daughter is now is college studying to become a veterinarian.
 
She is a throat cancer survivor and understands the importance of having good medical coverage.
 
Her first IBO was someone who signed up on the wrong website. After numerous attempts to contact this person we were unable to reach him to find out if he meant to sign up on her site or someone else. To this day her first IBO is a mystery.
 
Life got in the way for Yvette and did not do anything for 9 months and contemplated quitting. She made a decision to  make this work for her and called her sponsor Debbi Carroll and went to work.
 
She brought on six new members and three new IBO's including her brother who had been asking her for a year to work with another company. However, when he saw the daily checks rolling in, he had a change of heart and is now a new business partner on the team!
 
Her sponsor, Debbi Carroll really enjoys working with Yvette! "She is an awesome mom and truly wants to help people get access to these great benefits."
 

Demetris Graham, SRSD, Memphis, TN

Demetris

 

 

 


With almost 20 years experience as a real estate agent in Memphis, Tennessee, Demetris' business slowed down to almost a halt.  She knew she had to do something else and quick! So, she started selling insurance with Aflac, but she wanted to find out about a business that would provide her with true lifetime residual income. 
 
When Demetris looked at AmeriPlan she knew immediately this was the business for her.  She met so many people who couldn't afford the dental insurance that she was offering through Aflac and knew that AmeriPlan would be a solution."
 
Shortly after joining AmeriPlan, Demetris' father was hospitalized from a stroke, which understandably took her attention and focus until he got well. 
 
After reading the book 'The Slight Edge' by Jeff Olsen, Demetris' marketing plan is simple.. Plan, Do, Review! 
 
1. Plan your day
 
2. Do the Plan
 
3. Review the outcome 
 
To get her first 6 clients she started putting out flyers in parking lots and libraries and her very supportive husband put out street signs.  Her phone started ringing and it hasn't stopped since! She also mailed letters to family members letting them know about AmeriPlan and the services we offer - informing them that any referrals were greatly appreciated!
 
To get her first 4 business partners, she decided early on that she wanted to focus on people who were just as serious as she is about helping other people access affordable healthcare - and who better to reach out to than OTHER insurance agents!
 
Demetris selected that niche market early on and stayed consistent and persistent in communicating to them about the opportunity AmeriPlan provides that enables them to not only expand their portfolio of services, but also to build a "brokerage" of their own.
 
Because of that niche market focus, Demetris attracted very professional and qualified business partners - in fact, she already has 3 RSDs on her team who are doing phenomenal -  Tiffany Blue - Memphis, TN, Henry Coleman - Jackson, MS, and Carolyn Denson - Harrisville, MS

Shannon Cook, RSD

Shannon Cook

Shannon Cook, who is originally from Chicago, IL, and now resides in Riverdale, GA, was laid off from her job from an insurance company as an underwriting contract controller on February 11, 2008.

Burnt out and exhausted by corporate America, she made the decision that it was time for a change!  She joined the AmeriPlan family on February 16, 2008 and has been building her business diligently and consistently ever since.

Shannon works part-time for grocery chain and works her business part-time, but she knows that she will be working AmeriPlan FULL time in NO time!

How did she do it?

Well, first, Shannon has the support of her husband and focuses diligently on reaching her goals, which are:

1. Give people a HEALTHY start to financial freedom

2. Provide our high quality, affordable services to the millions in need

3. Have TIME and FINANCIAL freedom for her family

To get her first 6 clients, Shannon mainly reached out to her WARM market - people she knew. She let them know what she was doing and the services she was offering and some of those people needed it - others sent her referrals!

To get her first 4 business partners, Shannon also worked Warm market, but she also took advantage of professional advertising companies who did the marketing for her and she simply called those leads back, established a personal rapport, and was genuinely interested in the person. She was very straight forward with them about WHO she was looking to work with, and if they fit her criteria, she'd get them enrolled.

In Shannon's own words, she says, "Like a lot of success stories I have read I too was looking for that at home business niche that would allow financial comfort for me and my family - and I have found it with AmeriPlan!"

Sandra Covert, RSD

Sandra

Sandra is a perfect example of how critical follow up is. She found AmeriPlan when she received the "What If" DVD in the mail. But before that, she was actually part of a group of leads that were purchased through a professional advertising company and her enroller had attempted to reach her 3 times by phone with no success. Never underestimate perseverance!

Sandra certainly does not!

Having a business was not entirely new to Sandra. She had owned a beauty salon, understood that marketing was important, knew how to run promotions and target her audience with flyers, business cards and word of mouth. In fact, she even used to sell encyclopedias door to door!

Currently, Sandra works for a mobile home loan service company. After 7 years of heavy phone work, lots of problem solving and often very hectic end of the months with her job, Sandra has her focus set on retiring and working from home building her own business.

And she's well on her way!

Working nights and weekends Sandra has diligently worked her business doing everything from Practice Presentations, car magnets, postcards and leads, to charting her own course and trying new advertising strategies like marketing on the back of receipts at her local grocery store!

Sandra also attended the BLAST event in Detroit, MI in January 09 so she could truly catch the vision of what AmeriPlan is all about. And did she ever!

Sandra has an entrepreneur's spirit and we know this will be the first of many promotions to come for her!

Shiela Massenberg, RSD, Chicago

Shiela

 

 

Sheila was a Real Estate agent for over 20 years.  Later she worked at St Luke's hospital in the admissions department at night. Tired of working nights she read an email about AmeriPlan. She was familiar with AmeriPlan and decided to call for an interview. She and was not impressed with the inital interview and searched for a team with a good support systems in place. 

 

Searching the internet for a great team she called Brian Wright and was introduced to Debbi Carroll. After the interview and researching the team and training support she made the decision to enroll. 

She implemented some of the same strategies she used in her real estate business and began calling leads of people who requested information about working from home and about the services. By simply picking up the phone and talking to people Sheila became an RSD her first week in business.

She then went to the training on the Interviewing Script and started practicing her script, got some FREE LEADS and brought on some new business partners.
 
She got lots of NO's at the start and was ready to quit! She looked at her 4 reasons "WHY" ... those wonderful children you see in the picture and after talking to her sponsor she decided not to quit!
 
"Never Quit" is now her motto!
 
The next day she went out and brought on a couple of new business partners and then another and another ... and now she has an awesome team of Mom's who are going to go out and build their business doing the same things.

Anita and Larry Stewart, RSD

Anita and Larry

Anita and Larry Stewart are two awesome individuals living in Chicago, IL Debbi Carroll was introduced to them through her daughter Megan. She heard Larry singing God's music and met Anita and started talking. Soon a friendship developed.

 
Debbi met them in Chicago and shared the AmeriPlan story. When asked why they signed up with AmeriPlan, Anita answered that they were looking for a better life to help their children and grandchild.
 
Larry and Anita talk to people every where they go. Anita got 12,000 sizzle cards and has been leaving them every where.
 
When Anita started working with AmeriPlan she got a check every time she signed up a new member or IBO and she carried those check around for about a month. She showed her check to a few people and asked if they would like to learn how they could get some checks working on a part-time basis.
 
Her cousin Pat Hartford saw the checks and joined the business shortly after and already has five team members and will soon be RSD herself. She also likes her checks.
 
Larry is a R & B singer and sings all over Chicago. If you call to talk to Anita you can often hear Larry in the background. He is amazing.

Congratulations Anita and Larry!

 

Anna Gardner, RSD

Rising Star Melissa Wilson

Anna Gardner joined AmeriPlan on October 31st of 2007.   Having lived without health insurance for many years herself, she immediately saw the need for the uniquely affordable benefits the AmeriPlan programs provide. 
 
She was especially impressed with the hospital benefit on the health plans and couldn't believe that for $30/mo people can have a "just in case". 
 
Although Anna didn't get off to a fast start, she was determined to make her first promotion of Regional Sales Director (RSD). 
 
Her marketing strategies included talking to lots of people and using drop card flyers (a.k.a. sizzle cards), car sign magnets, and A-plan.biz telephone leads to help generate enough people to talk to. 
 
She really leveraged the support of her sponsor, Alex, by listening while he called her leads back and learned how he talked with people and answered their questions - and occasionally helped someone join the plan! 
 
Anna plans to build this business at her own pace and is thrilled to be a part of such a great team and company.

He currently owns a heating and air conditioning repair company and fully understands the challenges that small business owners face in finding affordable benefits for their families.
 
He read an article in a magazine and called to learn more about AmeriPlan. As Dennis and Daniel Bloom said, anyone can do this business....

Francis

Team New Vision wants to congratulate Frances Robinson for achieving RSD!!  
 
I'm a single mom who has worked in the dental hygiene industry for over 22 yrs. While I love my work there were new health hazard issues constantly coming up that made me start looking for another alternative.
 
I got an email on AmeriPlan and it just made sense. i joined and went to work and in four months made RSD.
 
I'm  not going say it was easy, people fell off as soon as I could sign them up but I believe and all things are possible.
 
I am just now starting to see that there is a better way and look forward to the day when i can fire my boss! Its been a fun business, I've made great friends along the way.
 
Never let anyone make you doubt your dream!

Guillermo Salazar, TX

Guillermo

Guillermo Salazar was sponsored by Jennifer Brown and joined AmeriPlan less that 30 days ago and has fast tracked to RSD. He has been successful in sales and marketing since the age of 18.
 
He is a person who take challenges and turns them into motivation. He was accidently shot by a friend one week before his 13th birthday.  Always involved in sports, his accident left him in a wheelchair. That did not keep him from participating in things he liked to do. He played with the Dallas Stars Sled Hooky team and was on the USA Olympic Sled Hockey team. He modeled for the Texas Monthly Magazine as well. 
 
Guillermo describes himself as a family comes first kind of guy and is in business with his two brothers Jose and Paulo who are working hard to get to RSD this month.
 
He succeeds in this industry because he wants to provide a better life for his daughter Raven and his  nephews Ryan and James.
 
Guillermo has been marketing health products for 6 years and when he took a look at the compensation plan, he saw deep residual income..."the best in the industry" and made a decision to work with AmeriPlan. With a strong customer service department to work with his clients he saw a "win-win" situation.
 
Congratulations Guillermo... we know that you will be very successful in AmeriPlan!

Henry Coleman

Tiffany Blue is one step away from qualifying as an RSD herself.
 
Both Tiffiny and Henry have worked closely with National Sales Director Lenox Powell and the New Beginnings team.

Jim Koch Tulsa OK

Koch

Jim Koch (pron. "Cook") joined AmeriPlan just 30 days ago!

 

He experienced first hand being hospitalized for food poisoning and received a very large bill from the hospital after traditional insurance paid their part. The hospital turned his bill into a collection agency without his knowledge and at this point he told himself "enough is enough!"

 

Arrangements were made to pay the bill but he decided at that point he would not allow himself to be in that position again!!!!! 

 

Jim works FULL TIME as a Public Relations Officer and has held professional positions as a EMS Supervisor, EMS Educator, Emergency Medical Dispatcher, Communications Center Training Coordinator, Field Training Officer, Communications Manager, Marketing Supervisor, QA Officer, and Employee Advocate.

 

Jim immediately set goals and completed his business and marketing plan - and most importantly, he stuck to it!  He implemented Practice Presentation training calls his first week in business, plugged in to as many team On The Job training calls as he could each week, and had several conversations with his sponsor Lenox Powell (New Beginnings Team Leader) to achieve his goals. 

 

 

Some support and marketing tools that helped him reach RSD are: car signs, flyers, sizzle cards, and word of mouth. Jim continues his daily journey to advance his skill set. 

 
Way to GO!

John and Bob Dickinson

 
Looks like AmeriPlan has become a Dickinson family tradition! 
 
Team New Vision along with ESD and Silver Double Eagle RSD Susie & Bob Dickinson, congratulate their son John Dickinson for achieving CT, RT, and Silver Double Eagle RSD!!     
 
What does all that mean you ask?  Susie sponsored John as a TOP IBO on Feb. 17th.  John signed up his 3 dental plans in 18 days using his warm market to become a CT.  He continued to talk to people about AmeriPlan, using his warm market and referrals, and enrolled 3 more members and 4 IBOs in his first 30 days.  That qualified him as a Silver Double Eagle RSD and RT!  Way to go, John!
 
By day John is a graphic artist for a printing company in Fort Lauderdale, FL and helps Susie with some of her marketing materials and sizzle cards.  John is an avid reader who also loves games of all kinds as well as talking to people...and talking to people.  Luckily, he talks to people about AmeriPlan wherever he goes!  Keep it up, John, and SRSD will be yours in no time!
 
John made over $1000 his first month in business and received a FREE ticket to convention worth $250. Congratulations John!!!
 
 
Jose and Victoria Salazar, RSD
Dallas, Texas
 
Salazar
 

Jose Salazar began his career with AmeriPlan a few weeks ago and was introduced to the business by his brother Regional Sales Director Guillermo Salazar. Fast tracking to RSD seems to run in the family.

 
Jose lives in Dallas and works his business with his wife Victoria. They have 2 children Ryan (3) and James(10 months).  Jose saw the need for the service when his youngest child was hospitalized and the high cost of prescriptions was made more affordable through AmeriPlan. He could see how this might help other families in the same situation.
 
When their youngest child was in the hospital, he asked his boss for time off... they still made him come into work. At that moment he knew that his family deserved better and looks to being able to work in the future full-time with AmeriPlan.
 
Family comes first and he looks forward to working with his wife and brother to create success for his family.
 
Congratulations Jose and Victoria!
 

Linda Jarmon, RSD

Linda joined AmeriPlan because she recognized this would be a way to help many people with affordable healthcare.  She has saved hundreds of dollars on doctors, lab work and MRIs in the last few months.
 
 Bob & Susie Dickinson's IBOs stressed the importance of attending company events and Linda met Mark Jarvis at an event in Philadelphia.  She was inspired by Mark Jarvis when he said, "Just go out there and get your 6/4 done to get to RSD."  Meet Linda at Champion's Weekend in Houston where she will be recognized for her efforts in helping others. We're so proud to be in business with you, Linda!  
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 
Lisa Vest, RSD
Florida

Lisa

Lisa wanted so many things for her family and had written down her goals and knew that AmeriPlan was the vehicle to help her achieve them.
 
Lisa and her husband live in Florida with their  children. As with most American families two incomes are no longer enough to pay for the extra's in life.
 
Lisa started with AmeriPlan Feb 7th of this year. She worked closely with her sponsor Lucretia Groce and team leader Debbi Carroll to get to the level of RSD quickly.
 
She began contacting people on her resource list and scheduled her first practice presentation with her family. She asked everyone she came in contact with "How's your dental plan?" She also learned how to talk to people using the APlan membership leads and began developing her skills to market the membership.
 
Thursday night knowing her goal to RSD was the 29th of Feb she got a team leader on the phone with 3 individuals. All 3 joined Team New Vision and helped her reach her goal. Her team is now growing and she is sure to find success with AmeriPlan to provide those extra's for her family.
 
We are so excited to be working with Lisa and know she is going to have success!

Maria did what her sponsor Yvette Ortiz suggested and printed off lots of the teeth flyers and got them out into the community before her kit arrived and soon after the phone started ringing.
 
After seeing those paychecks come in her husband  made some referrals to her and she marketed more plans.
 
She enrolled in the Trainer Option Program last week and went to work getting her 3 dental plans. Two of them came from the flyers and 1 was a referral.
 
She is using her sponsor Yvette Ortiz for 3-way calls to answer any questions her prospects have. Smart lady and teaching her team to do the same. Her team is already writing memberships using flyers. So simple!
 
Of course she qualified for the TRIPLE ADVANCE COMMISSION of $324. WOOOHOOO!
 
Congratulations Maria!

Nicole Jackson, RSD

Nicole

Nicole Jackson is the team's newest RSD. Nicole started with AmeriPlan in October and was sponsored by Debbi Carroll. She went to work and brought in several memberships in a short period of time putting out flyers in her local area and doing some Practice Presentations with Debbi. 
 
She also worked on building a team and already has team members producing in her organization... a good start towards working for her next goal which is to get to SRSD. I am sure that she will be there soon!
 
Nicole is married to Allen and they have 5 children. One of her children has special health needs and it is important for her to be at home. Adding additional income to her family will ease the burden on her husband and family.
 
When Nicole started with AmeriPlan she had been working for another company and marketed memberships and never got paid. She was surprised at how fast she got a paycheck with AmeriPlan and loves the more that 10 checks she has received in the last couple of months.

Nicole regularly shares tips with other members of the team. We love her enthusiasm and energy and she will have a great team.

Congratulations, Nicole!  Your persistence and dedication to building your business is an inspiration to all of us!!!

Ruth Luebke, RSD, Texas 
 
Ruth
Ruth Luebke lives in Arlington, Tx and started with AmeriPlan February 4, 2008. She loves working with AmeriPlan. She is an awesome mom and grandmother.
Ruth had an extensive career in nursing working in all kinds areas, newborns, labor and delivery, Med Surg, Home care, Legal Nurse consultant, and in clinics, and is now retired. She even worked with some insurance companies as a case manager. One of the goals in working with the insurance companies was to control the payment of benefits, as they called it. What it really meant was to deny claims.
 
Ruth understands the frustrations of physicians and patients with the current medical coverage in the country and loves the Consumer Driven Healthcare model where the Dr and patient get to make decisions regarding card. Not just the insurance company. 
 
There was a point in her life not to long ago where she was without benefits and looked extensively for a good dental plan. After comparing all options she decided that AmeriPlan offered the best amount of benefits for the lowest cost. She used the program for extensive dental and prescription costs and saved 1000's on her care.
 
She was approached by Debbi Carroll when she was looking for some additional income to make retirement a little easier. Retirement can be challenging for anyone. She loved the service and knew that she would be proud to educate the public about the programs.
 
Working with Marissa Barile, Bob Gentile and Debbi Carroll she has built and awesome team and helped alot of families get protection with AmeriPlan.
 
We are so proud of you! Congratulation Ruth!

Tom

Thomas spent 28 years in the oil field industry as a journeyman machinist. He then hit the BIG ROAD to earn his living as a commercial truck driver.
 
He ended up several times in the hospital and lost his income. While he was a patient in the hospital he often wondered how he might pay for the services without insurance as he was one of the 47 million uninsured in this country. He was lucky to not lose everything...
 
When he could no longer hit the road...he looked for other ways to earn an income. He answered an ad for a for a position working from a home office and was introduced to AmeriPlan by Lucretia Groce.
 
Thomas has a great attitude and will always lend a hand

Lynn Fenstermacher, RSD

Lynn

Lynn started with AmeriPlan in June 2009. Lynn a single mom of 2 boys, ages 12 and 16, lives in Pepin, Wisconsin.  She works for a bakery that has recently had to cut back on all the employees' hours, and so, no longer earning enough to cover all the bills, Lynn was looking for a way to supplement her "PT" job.  With few options available in her small town, she turned her search to online opportunities.  

 
Even though Lynn knew it would be a challenge because of the lack of local providers in her area, she recognized the potential and opportunity that AmeriPlan provided her so she got started and went to work right away with long distance strategies.  She put advertising out on all the free, classified sites listed in the TNV reference library, set up an online merchant website, and began sharing our programs with co-workers, family, and friends, distributing business cards to other states by way of relatives. 
 
With her sponsor's help, she reached RSD in 27 days and is working hard to build a college fund for her kids and eventually buy her own home. 
 
Yvonne Williams, RSD
Tampa, FL
 
 Yvonne Williams
 

Yvonne personifies persistence. She was social work supervisor with the county government for over 30 years.

 
While she loved helping people and assisting clients, she got fed up with all the bureaucracy and red tape that tends to come with government.
 
So, when she retired back in 2007, she decided to chart her own course and do something that would allow her to supplement her retirement income and be more financially independent.
 
As it is with 100% of all the people we work with, building a business did not come easy. Yvonne faced the challenges we all face when learning how to market, build a prospect pipeline, consult with clients, interview potential business partners and how to train them.
 
However, while most people would have quit when the going got tough....Yvonne got going! She plugged in to more training calls, she tweaked her marketing strategies, learned from her trial and errors and she communicated on a consistent basis with her business partners.
 
A key strategy that Yvonne implemented that really helped her build her prospect pipeline and have people to talk to about our dental and medical plan is street signs.
 
As she almost always is (consistency and persistency are two key traits Yvonne possesses....) she was on one of our Tuesday Team Leadership training calls where we had special guest speaker, Darius Meadows talk about this effective marketing strategy.
 
Yvonne didn't just listen...she took action!
 
In addition to her other marketing strategies (postcards, online job postings, leads, flyers and drop cards) Yvonne got some signs made and started putting them out in her local community. The calls didn't roll in right away, but she stuck wtih it and kept putting them out week after week. Finally, some calls started coming in, then more, then more.
 
Next thing you know, Yvonne is RSD!!!!!!

Ellecia Johnson, RSD

Rising Star Melissa Wilson

When the family's sole source of income walked out Ellecia found herself and children homeless and on the streets. With 4 children to support she found a part-time job that allowed them to rent a small place. When she lost that job she found herself and family back out on the streets for the second time living out of her car. She knew that this was truly the lowest point in her life. 
 
Last year help came from a woman who helped her get into a vacant home owned by Habitat for Humanity and she and her children have shelter for the moment.
 
To feed her family she arises every morning at 4 am to go to Labor Force for day workers. She works 12-16 hours and receives $25 for her efforts. She was determined to do whatever it takes to feed her kids, make sure they do not miss school, and keep shelter over their heads. 
 
Ellecia interviewed with AmeriPlan and got started with the help of her sponsor Kelly Blackwell.  She has since turned her initial investment into over $500 her first month and became a Regional Sales Director.

Ellecia sees the opportunity that AmeriPlan offers and is now headed to Convention. Working with her sponsor, she has a plan in place to make enough income to get to convention. Nothing will stop this driven lady and we cannot wait to watch her rise to the top.

We are so excited for her!   She says, "I am so excited to be apart of the AmeriPlan family. I just made RSD and let me tell you, never give up!! 
 
I must admit that I was on the verge of giving up but, my husband gave me an inspiration speech which encouraged me not to give up; therefore, I can encourage you!!!
 
So, if you are that person, keep pressing on because you never know what blessings God has for you.   
 
Finally, I would like to thank my team, Timothy, Chase and Aaron for all of their help and encouragement. I realize there maybe others that I have not spoken with that helped also...so thank you too."
