May 30, 2008

Our Denver and Conneticut Tour Stops were SOLD OUT !!  If you missed them make plans to join us in Boston on August 17th. You’ll get trained by the best carriers in the business (XO, Qwest, TNCI, Premiere Global and ACC) from 8am -12pm then go to a RED SOX game compliments of TNCI & PlanetOne !!

Plus, you’ll leave with enough nice gifts to fill a shopping cart and maybe be lucky enough to win some money or any of the fabulous prizes given away throughout the event. Agents got to rub shoulders with the brass, network with peers, find out about the latest promos and meet the teams that support PlanetOne.

“This marks the 6th year we have been doing these events around the country and our 2008 Tour Stops are without a doubt the best we’ve ever done. The agents and carriers all leave fired up ready to kill it when they return home”.

To regsiter for Boston Tour Stop on August 17th please do so ASAP as tickets to the Red Sox game are LIMITED.  http://www.planetone.net/telecom_tour_signup.aspx

PlanetOne President’s Club – Puerto Vallarta

May 19, 2008

PlanetOne just hosted its 7th Annual incentive trip for top producing agents at the Vallarta Palace in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico just minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta. Agents and their guests were pampered and kept busy during this exclusive 4-day event. XO, TNCI, ACC, Qwest and PaeTec  participated in all the festivities south of the border.

Vendors and Agents were picked up at the airport and swept away to the Vallarta Palace where they attended a Welcome Reception. (See link above for all event photo’s)

 

Friday, May 16th

Guests were taken on a historical tour and shopping excursion of Puerto Vallarta. Following the tour PlanetOne hosted its 1st Beach Olympics. Contestants competed in a tug-o-war, egg toss, tequila relay, swimming race and perhaps the highlight was the hysterical “Flour Basket Fill Up”. “We wanted to create a fun and competitive environment where being the most athletic person did not assure you of winning anything and I believe we accomplished our objective in spades” says Ted Schuman, CEO PlanetOne. Concluding the Olympics PlanetOne provided Wave Runners for those who were more adventurous to tackle 3’-6’ foot swells. To wrap up the day dinner was served right on the beach where Mariachi’s serenaded the guests.

 

Saturday, May 17th

PlanetOne chartered a 72’ft catamaran for the entire day where everyone relaxed aboard “Geronimo”. Food and beverages were in abundant supply for all and so were the activities. Guests snorkeled at the Las Marietas Islands where Jacque Cousteau called this special destination his favorite place in the world to snorkel. From there it was off to a private beach and a catered lunch and some kayaking. Then PlanetOne had its Award Ceremony in one of the many ocean front restaurants at Vallarta Palace.

 

Sunday was departure day for all but some guests extended their stay for more R&R in Puerto Vallarta who weren’t quite ready to go home.

 

“Our charter every year is very simple . . . we want to host the best event in the industry where winners are pampered, entertained, relax and laugh during their trip without having to spend a dime. Based on the comments from everyone who spent last week with us in Puerto Vallarta . . . mission accomplished”.

 

The Event Sponsors this year who helped make this event possible were XO, Qwest, TNCI, ACC and PaeTec.
