I live in Chanute Kansas and I have been with AmeriPlan® for less then a year. I am a mother of two, when I signed up I was a week away from giving birth to my little girl Trinity (although if you met her you would ask why we didn't name her Helen instead) My husband has been supportive of my AmeriPlan® business from the get go and my kids like to imitate me on the phone when I am speaking to people about this amazing opportunity!
Like so many of us I didn't start this business thinking of success. I thought "oh is just going to be like all the others I have tried , you spend a lot of time and money and get nothing!". Boy was I wrong! AmeriPlan® has been the best work at home opportunity for me! I finally retired from my out of the home JOB 2 months ago! I am able to stay with my children so I don't have to miss any more of the very important moments in their lives. I am not yet at a six figure but I do know so much more now then when I first started and in no time I WILL be the next NSD scratch that NVP and WILL be a top earner, you can count on that!
I am an RSD, honestly NSD is not that far away, lol. If anyone would ask me what to do to succeed I will tell them this
Be consistent always. Even if you can only call two people a day it DOES pay off!
Believe in yourself most of all and in this AMAZING opportunity.
We all know life throws obstacles our way but how you overcome them is what sets you apart from the rest.
DO NOT GIVE UP. If you do you are giving up in your chance for a better life!
Don't do that to yourself and the ones you love. This does work! I know I am proof, I just left my job as a SGT. at a Kansas Correctional facility, I used to be always tired, crankier by the minute, my marriage was suffering, I missed so much from my kids' lives because my job demanded so MUCH of me I didn't have time for anything else. God must have been listening, because I ran across an AmeriPlan® website and I was hooked! This is the real deal, and I can not thank Chrissy and Amy (my upline) enough for their encouragement and help! You guys are awesome! Thanks to the Bloom brothers for making it possible for everyday people to make a living working from home and having FREEDOM, it sure feels nice! Good luck to everyone, may all your goals come true!
Cynthia Riddell, Regional Sales Director
On September 15th I finally reached RSD! I am so excited! This business has stretched me and caused me to grow in ways I never knew were possible for me! I discovered AmeriPlan® through Pennie Berk's advertising but was very skeptical and unsure. My phone line was down when Pennie called for my interview and I never called her back to reschedule! For three months Pennie's "drip" emails kept the opportunity in front of me. I finally signed up when Pennie passed some drip leads to her downline and I received another call.
As a dental hygienist, I was excited about the dental plan and that is what I was comfortable working in the beginning. I signed up 17 members between May and July. I finally got the courage to get serious about recruiting and put out some advertising on the internet. Through the ads I was able to sign up the IBOs I needed to reach RSD! Now I am excited about recruiting!
I have learned that it is true that you must keep at this business consistently - even when it is tempting to feel discouraged by a rough day! Keep on training, keep on stretching, keep on challenging yourself to learn and step out of your comfort zone into new and exciting adventures!
I am so grateful for the amazing support on the Freedom At Home Team! Even though my IBO, Tamara Hicks is no longer with the business, I am grateful to her for all the support and encouragement she gave me as I was getting started. I am now under Pennie Berk and she has been a great help to me with my internet advertising. Thank you Pennie!
I must give thanks to the Lord for answering my prayer and helping me to find work that I could do from home and be passionate about! I also thank my husband, Mark for his support and encouragement, my son for his graphic design and computer skills and my daughter for checking my email for new opt-ins when I have been out of town!
I love being able to work from anywhere - even while we are in northern Michigan building our one room cabin get-away!
This is a great business and an awesome team! I can't wait for all that is yet to come!
Tetonya & Derek Edwards, Regional Sales Directors
YES! I finally made it to RSD. It feels great! This was tough and exciting at the same time, but perseverance and strength from God brought me through.
When I originally came in the business in the summer of 2005, I was a single parent of 2 teenagers (Aviana & Michael), a lot of things were going on, and I wasn't focused, but I knew this was the company I wanted to be with that would allow me to help people. I believed in AmeriPlan®'s® product, and I knew that many would benefit from our service. I helped a few people with the plan and the checks were delivered in the mail just as AmeriPlan® promised, so I knew it was real. Still, I unfortunately allowed obstacles to get in way, the "no's" to discourage me, and eventually allowed brokership to cancel.
A few months down the road, I was still looking to make extra income from home in addition to my profession as a medical transcriptionist at home (I did not want to report to anyone's J.O.B). So guess what? That's Right. I came back to AmeriPlan® in December 2005. Things had settled down a bit with my children, I had met my now Husband Derek a few months earlier, and I wanted to work the business. Getting to the point, what really got me motivated was when Frank & Mark Jarvis and Jerome & Debra Scott came to Columbia, SC this summer. From that point on I jumped in and started working my AmeriPlan® Business. The obstacles didn't block me & the "no's" didn't discourage me, because I knew that I could do this business. I focused on my "WHY" and 2 months later I'm RSD. YES! It feels really really great!
Some people would say it took me over a year to make RSD because of when I originally signed up for, but I say once I made up my mind to help others save money and realize their potential in having their own business, then IT REALLY ONLY TOOK ME 2 MONTHS! My goal was to make RSD by the end of September. Then we received an e-mail from Janie about this big dream vacation we could go on if we just signed up 6 members or 5 IBOs or 2 vacations if we signed up both between August 20th and September 29th by 5 PM. Oh, My Goodness! Now the trip definitely became my short-term "WHY" (I wanted to qualify for that trip). Just when it looked like I wasn't going to make it, this self-employed man drove up into my driveway trying to sell me meats off his truck and pointed to the sign on my car and said "I need to talk to you about that there too." Well, I went out to see what he had to offer, but I guarantee you, before he left my driveway, Mister had himself individual DVPC plan, his ID #, and a printout of the providers in his area. Isn't that just like God? He showed up right on time! I signed up the last member of the 6 members I needed for the vacation and to make RSD on Friday, September 29th at 2:30 PM (talk about waiting to exhale). Boy, that was close. Whew!
Now on to the next plateau, SRSD I'm looking forward to the day when I can just stop transcribing altogether and work my AmeriPlan® business and not have a business work me. I thank my God for guiding every step of the way, my upline April Quesenberry & Janie Jones (our awesome NVP) for being reachable when I needed them and encouraging me, the members I'm able to help save money, and my new Team, who saw the vision and came on board.
I would tell anyone. Know your "WHY" for doing the business, and that will keep you focused on your goal. Different techniques of marketing work for different people. Find your niche and work it. Plug in to your team training website, listen to the training audios, and/or sit in on conference calls (live or recorded) a few times a week. It will greatly improve your business.
Lisa Philbrick, Regional Sales Director
Oh my Gosh, what just happened? My IBO Brandy called me about a week and a half ago and said, "We are moving up to the next management level by the end of this month". I soon realized that she was not kidding. So we all got to work and made it happen. Thank you so much Brandy for lighting that fire. Your strong determination pulled us through. Your a great friend and I can't wait to walk across that stage as NSD with you next year. I can't believe I just said that. I know your not going to let me stop until it happens. I would like to think all my teammates that I'm very fortunate to have. I'm looking forward to working with ya'll to reach our next goal. A big thanks to Janie and Becky for your guidance and encouraging words during this last week. Knowing you we're there cheering us on helped so much.
Kelly James, Regional Sales Director
I did it and so can you! I signed up for AmeriPlan® with one in the same goals as most of you did. One goal was to contribute to our family income and still be at home for my children. The other goal that is very gratifying is to help people obtain affordable benefits. I would have not made it this far without encouragement and guidance from Brandy Gray and Lisa Philbrick. The most rewarding aspect is the friendships that continue to develop with Brandy, Lisa, and the IBOs I've work with daily. AmeriPlan® is more than a health benefits provider; they're a mentor, role model, a family, and a better lifestyle. With the accomplishments of this team it won't be long before I see Rachel Harvey, JJ Nisula, Cycely Johnson, and Berengaria Navarre's names as Freedom at Home Team's next RSD.
Kimberly Dirner, Regional Sales Director
Wow! I made it to the first rung in that amazing ladder that's going to take us to the top. My family and I are so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful company and among such wonderful people. I could not have achieved this without my IBO, Lisa and her IBO, Brandy. Lisa, you have given me so much support and understanding. You have been there to talk to on good days and bad and I really appreciate that. Success is a process. The God of heaven Himself will prosper us (Neh. 2:18-20) God willing, we will all achieve our goals and dreams.

Miaya Ashmead, Regional Sales Director
Woohoo, I finally made it!
That was a big stepping stone for me, but I did it. I am very thankful for all of the support that I have gotten along the way. Bootcamp was great, my family has backed me 100% of the way, but what really helped me in achiving my first goal was my IBO Richelle Anderson. Over the past couple months we have developed a life long friendship, she has been there for me, cheering me along. Thank You Richelle!
My advice to others is to stick with it!! AmeriPlan® is helping dreams come true and I want to be next!
Shelita Lacy, Regional Sales Director
I made RSD! I am so excited to reach this phase of my AmeriPlan® career! It was not easy, but what a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. First and foremost, I want to Thank God for leading me to AmeriPlan®and this wonderful team. I would also like to thank my husband, for the love and support given on my journey to RSD. To my baby girl, my WHY.
I would like to thank my IBO, Kelly Roberts, for the encouragement, leadership and support you've given. You are the best! I would also like to thank the FAHT leaders and trainers for all the training calls and information provided. It is wonderful to know that I am supported and being trained by 6 figure income earners. If they can do it, so can I! Thank you for showing me how! I wish you all success!
Annette Robertson, Regional Sales Director
Wow, what an exciting time this has been! I have made the first step on my way up the ladder. This company stands behind what they say and it has been so exciting to see my business grow. The training has been absolutely remarkable and I know that I am in business for myself, but not alone. There is always someone to get help from, or a site to check out for the knowledge. Keeping my "why" written on a sticky note at my desk has really kept me focused. I feel blessed to have found this company and want to thank my family and Janie for believing in me and helping me reach my dream. I am excited to continue to work with my team to help them achieve their dreams too!
Brenda Hillman, Regional Sales Director
I finally made it! I signed up for AmeriPlan® about 4 months ago and can't wait for more to come. I wanted to work from home for many reasons one of which is I wanted to start something for myself and not somebody else. It started off a little slow for me but I am moving with great speed now. Once I got going it felt great every step I took towards RSD.
I know that I will make it to the top with a little hard work. I want to thank Anita Houser and Brigitte Wendt for all their help. It felt good to call you and say I got a new member or IBO because I know that both of you we pulling for me. I think both of you knew I could do it before I did. Thank you.
Irene Tyra Evers, Regional Sales Director
I have to say AmeriPlan® has changed my life in so many ways, before I started AmeriPlan® I was very much the introvert, however after all this talking I have become quite the extravert. I love it and am so glad to be working in the freedom of my own home with time for my family when they need me. Also I can not thank my IBO; Cheryl enough, for she has been there for me on the good days and the bad, with ever bearing in mind what she first told me keep in close contact with your up line, and this I done every day. Cheryl and I talk daily and she helps to keep me focused, we have developed a great friendship. Also I would like to take this time to thank Sonja and Becky for all of their help, with my prospects and questions, they are great, I love the team support that we have, it is unbelievable! To all of you new IBO's, stay focused and keep in touch with your up lines. SRSD, here I come!
Ron McIntyre, Regional Sales Director
I have been in several companies before, but never have I seen the level of support and training that is being used in this team. I was actually in AmeriPlan® 9 years ago but due to not living in an area with any providers and not having the internet as we do now it was difficult to work and I decided this was going nowhere and quit.
This time happened in an unusual way that anyone out there can make note of and use for training. My IBO had my name in her purse for over a year. Someone told her to get in touch with me because I might be interested in this business. About 5 weeks ago, I met Deborah at an office in Ft. Polk, La. The fact that we met was pure chance. It should never have happened. We started talking and it was not long before she is pulling my name out of her purse written on a scrap of paper.
Here we are five weeks later, I am an RSD. Deborah is SRSD. Her daughter Brandy is NSD.
Moral of the story. Who knows? But if it was me I would pull all those scraps of paper around your house or office out of the cracks and call those prospects. They just may be actually waiting for you to do that. I was. I'm just glad Deborah didn't lose her purse.
Robert Tutt, Regional Sales Director
There comes a time in everyone's life when they must give serious thought to their retirement income and activities. I was self employed for 20 years in agriculture. There is often very little in the way of retirement from that business. Since then, I have become a therapist and working for a non-for-profit organization. Trust me, it's the employees not making the profit. As a health care provider I soon learned the limitations of health insurance, so when I was introduced to AmeriPlan® by Brigitte Wendt, the whole plan made perfect sense to me. I can help others; help others help themselves and provide for my future at the same time.
Although there are many things about the company that impress me; what stands out most is the team spirit beginning with the Bloom Brothers and filtering through the organization to my two special mentors, Anita Houser and Brigitte Wendt. Thanks so much to both of you for your guidance, training, support and being there for advice as well as the gentle nudge when I need it. Special thanks to Brigitte for bringing me into the program and tutoring me in computer literacy. Thank you so much.
Tonya Jones, Regional Sales Director
AmeriPlan® is an answer to a prayer for me. I'd been looking for a legitimate home based business for almost a year. I knew they were out there, I 'd just never ran across any. Then just when I was about to give up, I was blessed with AmeriPlan® opportunity. As a single mother of four (at the time), it was imperative that I find something that was REAL. I needed a solid company that I believed in. I wanted to stop telling my children NO every time that asked for something. Or NO to mommy being able to go on field trips, to games and recitals. The journey to RSD was not an easy one for me. I made it ALOT harder than necessary. I allowed fear to paralyze me and keep me from doing what the REAL me knew I could. The entire time Kelly and my husband (Lamont) never gave up on me. And my children, Mark 17, Johnathan 15, Joy 13 and Markale 11 have always been my WHY. Never once did I believe AmeriPlan® would not deliver on their promise. I simply plugged into training and took full advantage of the personal development we have available to us. That alone changed my life because it changed my mindset. I could never thank Kelly enough for ALL that she's done for me. I can only continue to remain "teachable" in order to emulate my AWESOME leader (Kelly Fuller). GAME ON.
Carol Venable, Regional Sales Director
Halleluiah! Halleluiah! Halleluiah! Praise be to God! Thank you Jesus! I couldn't have done it without You Lord.
We did it team, we are on our way, thank you to my team in Milwaukee. Thank you to both my daughters, Precious and Tasha who helped their Mama once again; to April and Zetta for believing in me and Sandra White, listening to you on Tuesday night's call was the straw that pushed me off that hump. I got all six members in three days. Thank you, Sandra. Zetta a great big God Bless you, thank you for obeying God and doing his work!
I come from a multiple of experiences, I have taught all ages from infants to senior citizens, I have driven city bus to Greyhound bus cross country, I have worked in social service with Bureau of Child Welfare, I have even driven School bus. I was a single mom with two beautiful daughters (Aleina akaPrecious & Aiesha-akaTasha) and now I have 7 most wonderful grandchildren and I'm still single and loving it. I completed my Graduate studies in Human Services in 2003, with a Bachelor's in Community Education in the class of 2001. After all the jobs I had I knew one thing, I am tired of jumping through the corporation hoops and I don't know how to play their corporate games so I need to get out of that line of business and work for myself. My "WHY" is to get rid of all those Student Loans, become debt free, retire with a fat nest egg and leave a heritage for my hires. Now, I feel I have my place with AmeriPlan®.
When I first started with AmeriPlan®, 47 days ago, I had no idea what the next level was or how to get there all I knew was this program was something that I needed and many others did also, I shared the vision. I was receiving unemployment benefits, which were about to end and I had to reach the next level soon. When I received my first check and then another check, I knew this was I've been looking for. I got the spirit! Being an enthusiastic go-getter, all I knew to do was to share this with everyone I came in touch. I strongly practice the "3 foot rule" if you come within three feet of me, you're getting a flyer, a business card or I'm talking to you about this business. I have always enjoyed sharing with people anything I have if I felt they could use it or would use what I have to offer. I have been told I have the Gifts of Help and I love helping maybe because I have had so little help in my life.
From the time I first heard of Direct Marketing I knew this was the way to financial freedom, I just needed the right vehicle. I had been into so many other Direct Sales and Network Marking businesses; I didn't want to go to my small warm market again. I didn't want to hear that, "what are you doing or selling now Carol?" I have tried many of the "lotions and potions" since the early 80s and never made any money. I only ended up with too much Crystal for my own house and a smaller bank account.
I learned about AmeriPlan® when my best friend forwarded April's Mommy's ad. I went to the web site and liked what I saw, filled out the interview form. After scrolling further down April's email page I saw her phone number, called her and signed up with in a few minutes. My excitement has increased 100 folds and now that I hit my first goal I am on fire. This is so great for me! Might I add my girl friend signed up as I was practicing my script on her, never did I imagine she'd sign up too. Same thing happened with my daughter and others. Those I least expected to become IBO's have. Those who I thought would be an IBO became members. I will never prejudge any one again. Just introduce it and allow them to make the decision at least they can't say they didn't know. You don't need a college education to be successful at this, any one who has the proper sense, the desire and the ability to do what you did can do this business.
I'd like to also say, for those who say they want this, please understand anything worth having is worth working for don't look for someone to hand it to you, work for it, earn it yourself then you appreciate it more. Don't expect it to come without effort, you will only get out of this what you put into it, if you only put a little in you'll only get a little out. If you stop or quit then you'll get nothing. Plug into what you have available to you, think about what you want and WRITE IT DOWN. I can't express enough the importance of writing down your goals with time lines. My written goal was to reach RSD by 10-31-06, I hit it by a few days. My next goal is to be SRSD by Christmas 2006. Read your goals share them with your family and friends. This is a business that you are not alone in so don't try to do it alone. If you fail to plan you plan to fail!
One of the most valuable lessons to be successful not only with this business, I think but also in life is to be consistent, consistent, and consistent. Stay focused and don't sleep on this or it'll pass you by. Plug into the web sites, conference calls and all the other resources we have available to us. When I'm sitting at home and the phone is not ringing, I get on a call, and if I can get someone on the call with me is a bonus. My friends say they can always tell when I've been gone from home because my phone is jumping off the hook because I leave those paper trails that Becky and Jennifer talk about, that really make a difference.
I can't imagine leaving home and not have any phone calls that day, if that happens that means I am not being productive. You've got to find what works for you and stick to it not what you're comfortable doing but what works and if you don't try it you won't find out what works, will you. JUST DO IT!
Jennifer Gunnarson, Regional Sales Director
I have to say this has definitely been an incredible 8 months! Before I found AmeriPlan®, I had been researching companies and trying to find something that was right for me. I had tried other companies and although their products were great, my heart was never into it. I didn't like having quotas to meet, or products to buy, and mostly, once I sold something and got paid, I was done until they needed something again. Then, I found AmeriPlan®. I cannot say enough about our residual income! How awesome is that?! There is not a day that goes by that I don't hear of someone that could benefit from us somehow, someway. For the 1st. time, I am with a company that has SO MUCH to offer and I believe in. I love the fact that this is our business and we can work it, when we can work. I had to take about 3 months off due to my 1 yr. old son having cancer. Quitting was never an option though. My husband had to take a month off from his job to help out with kids while Alex was in and out of the hospital. We also have a 4 yr. old with seizures and these can be a little crazy. Anyway, we enjoyed having him around so much that I realized that I have the opportunity in my hands to get him home for good with us and that is definitely my goal!
I have to give a special thank you to my husband, Scott for all his support. He is constantly asking me how can I help you today or giving my name and number out to people that he thinks can benefit from AmeriPlan®. I certainly couldn't do this without him. I have to thank my 2 little boys, Andrew and Alex for being so patient when mommy is trying to "work". They are a huge part of my "WHY". I certainly cannot forget my IBO, Susan Goodknight. Not only are you my IBO, but my good friend too. Knowing you are always there for me when I had a question or needed something, has meant the world to me. I couldn't have gotten any luckier when I signed up under you! Then there's Winnie. I love ya lady! We have spent countless hours on the phone and online trying to figure out the best ways to succeed and support one another in this business. I certainly cannot forget my team. I wouldn't be here without any of you guys and all of us are going to the TOP!
Nellie Garcia-Kovacs, Regional Sales Director
I am so glad I finally made it to this level, RSD, and just when I thought I could have reached it a little sooner, I had to do a little extra to see it through. Yet, knowing that my upline, Wanda Bowers, was always there and cheering for me ever patient made it all that much more possible, more tangible. I am ever grateful to her as, honestly, she has been a beacon of light for me, since day one! AmeriPlan® has been a lot about personal and spiritual development for me throughout these past five month since I signed up for. Now, I am ready to step up my game with a new found sense of enthusiasm and confidence. I thank God for this opportunity and know that this is the right time for my family and I to do this.
Courtney Bengs, Regional Sales Director
Its taken me a while, but I love it. The opportunity that AmeriPlan® has given me is amazing. I have to give full thanks to my team and my leader and friend Kelly Pira. Without the support from Kelly, I would have never gotten here. Kelly you really are a great leader and friend. AmeriPlan® has helped me reach and fullfill my self respect and a new outlook for my life. Thank you sooo much!
Jane MacIntyre, Regional Sales Director
The blessing of the Lord is upon me and I give Jesus Christ all the honor and glory for what He is doing in my life! Making RSD has been a pivotal point in this business for me. I knew from day one that God had given me this opportunity in order to prosper me and my household. It may have taken some time to get to the first level but it was the many testimonies giving "God glory and praise" that kept me motivated. My heartfelt thanks goes to our team and especially Brandy Gray for the big last push to make it happen. God is good and richly to be praised! Jeremiah 29:11
Ge Xiong, Regional Sales Director
I am married to Tou Her for 21 years and I have 7 children, all from ages 18 years to 2 years old. I am so glad that I have found Ameriplan®; USA®. I have been looking for a home base business for a long time. Now I have finally found it. My sister in law Sy Xiong had introduce this business to me and I signed up for under her. I have finally made RSD. I work full time and I do not have much time to do my business so I work my business on the weekends. I also have 2 little children that do not go to school yet and keep me busy during the week. I hope to be doing Ameriplan®; USA® full time in the near future. I do not speak English very well and I am not computer literate but I know a lot of people who can benefit from this discount plan. Right now I am still learning about Ameriplan®; USA® and how to explain the benefits to others. My husband and children are very supportive and they help me do my business too. I want to thank my sister in law Sy Xiong for introducing me to AmeriPlan®.
If I can do this business any one who wants to change their life can too. I want to thank my Lord for answering my prayers and I would like for our team to continue to praying for our success in our business. Please give Ameriplan®; USA® 2 to 4 hours daily of consistent effort up to 2 to 4 years to make $100,000.00 of residual income. Thank you to the Freedom at Home Team. I will see you all at the top.
Jacci Bennett, Regional Sales Director
WOOHOO! I made it. First, I would like to thank God for giving the strength to step out on faith and go for Financial Freedom with AmeriPlan®. I have tried so many things and this is the one that was true to me and my family. Being a mother of five, wife, room mom, and holding a full time job has given me the strength to stay on track and achieve my "why". Thank you to my husband, Erick, for helping and holding my hand. To the best RSD, Kristie you are the best! WOOO HOOO! You are a pillar of strength and a great friend to have in my corner. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. We are having great fun with this and I will see you at SRSD.
Mary Jo Abell, Regional Sales Director
I have no doubt the Good Lord Himself sent my IBO, Cynthia Phillips, to me after my internet lead reached her desk!
Why did I find the survey, anyway? Why was I home at 2pm when I never am? Cynthia followed the system perfectly, and as soon as I hear her testimony and Janie Jones' audio...I said, "YES!" Why did I walk away from this opportunity 13 years ago when I learned of it in Louisville to continue my insurance (dead end) pursuits? Why did fate plan the Barrel of Cash for Louisville on 11/11/06 which forced me to hustle more to reach RSD before my heroes, Verna & Mike McDonald came here? I completed by requirements at 2PM (the blessed hour) on Friday, 11/10/06. How did I live through my car being hijacked with me standing at the back door Wednesday, 11/08/06, at 8am as I was getting papers out of a box and just returning to the parking lot after delivering Dental Plan Brochures to a benefit prospect? I know how all this happened, someone above wants me to be successful with Ameriplan®; USA®. He has sent such great teachers and support, the conference call training's have been AWESOME and Saturday's Barrel of Cash training was over-the-top!
Now it is up to me to train and support my team to GO AND DO IT FOR THEMSELVES just like He helped me reach my first goal!
To all of the Freedom at Home trainers, please know you are very appreciated, where would any of us without you! See you all at national meetings!
Leah Wise, Regional Sales Director
I am very excited. I thank the Lord first of all for bringing AmeriPlan® into my life. I wanted to contribute money to our income since our daughter was born last December. Lauren was born almost three months early and I have never even wanted to consider leaving her. Second, I am greatful for Daniel Tharp for signing me up and Jennifer Horton for all her helpful tips and encouragement. Now I am well on my way to SRSD!
Cory & Sheri Bessler, Regional Sales Directors
My wife, Sheri and I have been looking for many years to find a business that would eventually give us the time and financial freedom we desire, along with an opportunity to help others gain financial freedom themselves. We always knew there was an opportunity out there for us beyond the typical 9 to 5. We have tried many other opportunities but have had no success. Ameriplan®; is the first and only one that we have had any success at. We were all created for greatness!
The Bible says that Jesus came that we would all have life and life more abundantly, so we would like to thank the Lord for leading us to AmeriPlan®. This business is allowing us the opportunity to create wealth without having to compromise our family or our freedom. We would also like to thank our IBO Karen Marie for all her faithful support and guidance, we know we can turn to her for help and she will always be there. Now that we have reached our first goal of RSD, We are on the way to making our dreams a reality. Thank you AmeriPlan®, and thank you Jesus.
Katie Vega, Regional Sales Director
I live in Columbus, Ohio. I found AmeriPlan® a year ago, and boy am I glad I did! After getting through my training, I had a major life event come up that drained a lot of my time, and energy. So, I made the biggest mistake I could have. I set my business on the back burner to 'simmer.'
Recently, I had to leave my full time job due to ongoing childcare issues. I have struggled so hard in the last year to just keep a job and keep decent, affordable childcare. I was forced to leave my job, but the bills were piling up quickly. I realized I either had to hunt for childcare again and get back into the ratrace, or I could get back into the game with AmeriPlan. I decided to do the latter.
I decided this time I was going to give my business my all, and not push it aside for anything. You know, life is always going to present a challenge, and I couldn't allow my life to run me anymore. I had to take the bull by the horns, and start creating my own future, regardless of what was going on in the present.
I have worked hard, and had a fantastic time doing it. Working my business has enabled me to stay at home. If it weren't for AmeriPlan®, I would be sitting in a call center somewhere. I am so glad I found Becky Blacka; she has been a very important part of my success, and she never gave up on me. Thank-you Becky for believing in me, and giving me the strength I needed to pick myself up again. And thank-you also, to Janie & Michael, that without the creation of this family and all of our wonderful tools, I don't know if I would be here today!
AmeriPlan® is a wonderful company. I am excited I have finally reached that first stepping-stone, and I am going to work towards the next one aggressively!
Amanda Harness, Regional Sales Director
I can't belive that I am finally RSD! I am so excited to be on my way to a different life that so far I have only dreamed about. Thank you so much to Michelle and Rebecca for all of your help, I could not have done this without you! You guys have been great! I look forward to seeing each of you move up with the company and I will be right here behind you! Thanks so much.
Milly Whittle, Regional Sales Director
For many years I've been reading Jeremiah 29:11- "I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future", always waiting to see our Lord's perfect plan for my life. Today, I'm accepting this stepping-stone as part of His perfect plan for me! Thanks to Him and you!
Wanda, you have given me so much support and understanding every time I felt like quitting; you are a wonderful up-line! Thank you! My busy life as an insurance agent, Mom, and Grand-Mom, many times made me feel like giving-up AmeriPlan®, but with your positive daily messages and reinforcement, becoming an RSD looks like the stepping stone from where I can really look at the fore-coming horizon of success in our AmeriPlan® business.
Chuck & Angela Barras, Regional Sales Directors
It has been an exciting three months. We started in late August and I just had the feeling that this was the company that would take us places. Although, I had to put Janie's article from the Home Business Connection Magazine underneath my husband's (Chuck) nose several times before getting him to read through the article and see what I saw. Once "the light" came on we were both committed to succeed there was no stopping us. Failure is not on my list of things to do, only to reach my goals of moving forward towards financial freedom.
I really feel like I'm part of something and we are happy to be working with the best team in the company. A special "Thank You" goes out to Jessica, Becky, and Janie for the countless words of encouragement and for getting us to where we are today. They lead us to this point and without their guidance and support making RSD would not be possible. I intend to follow their lead and move towards SRSD. This company is about people and helping them to succeed. Staying plugged in and committed are the tools that make it happen.
Our next step is to concentrate on our brokers and help them to reach RSD. Helping others is what it's all about. We believe in AmeriPlan® and know that it is the future of healthcare. We are very excited about this accomplishment and look forward to achieving our future goals.
Beatrice Horton, Regional Sales Director
November 10th, 2006, RSD! What a great feeling, opening the BIG YELLOW ENVELOPE with the famous CONTRACT and pins. It has been a long winding road trying to get to this point, only because "msbea" wouldn't step out of her comfort zone and move with speed which I normally do with any other project that I take on.
Hello, my name is Beatrice (msbea) Horton. I'm a married mother of 45 years with two adult children and grandmother of three. Retired from a 20 year job at one of the hospitals in the city of Flint, MI for what will be 4 years December 20th, 2006.
Boredom sent me to surf the net and check out the work at home programs. AmeriPlan® just looked interesting, so I decided to sign up for an interview, which was done quickly with Tiffany Ivy. It was a slow start for me, but once I decided to put my mind to working the business it is full speed ahead.
Another reason for me working this business is to make sure my grandchildren have great educations and to help my children with some of their wants and needs. God has blessed me over the years to travel out of the country and great places in the USA to play my favorite sport, GOLF, this has been on hold for five years because of an ailing mother, but that is ok, for I know this is just a test from Him to learn patience. My motto is:
"Go forward and Don't look back".
Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Thank you to my upline/IBO, Tiffany Ivy for being there to listen to me complain because things were not going fast enough ,and I was frustrated at times, even though it was my own fault. Then I started attending training calls and all the other things she had explained to me that needed to be done. You have stopped me from quitting the company many times, for this I am truly grateful. During this time in my life with my mother s declining illness she has supported and helped me with my prospects in every way possible. Thank you, Thank you.
Elizabeth Carter for all of your help to get me to RSD I say thanks, you are a joy to work with and talk to. Anita Houser your e-mails of encouragement really have kept me on the right track. So with all of the team members support. Watch out world, here comes BEA.
Debbie Wilcox, Regional Sales Director
I signed up for AmeriPlan® June 10th when my two teenage daughters were out of school for the summer. It was a busy, loud, hectic time and I decided I would spend every spare moment training during the summer months and when my girls went back to school in August, I would finally begin my business when the house was quiet again. Because of this decision, I got off to a very slow start but always knew this day would come.
Today, I am one the newest Regional Sales Directors in AmeriPlan® and it feels AWESOME! For those of you that are striving to make this promotion, please hang in there and know, if I can do it, anyone can! Sure, there were times when I hit a brick wall but I prayed, "God, if this is where You want me to be, please show me a sign". He always did! Either the same day or the next, I signed up someone new! I know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be!
First and foremost, I want to thank God, our Heavenly Father, for leading me to Stephanie Dakin's website and for giving me the foresight of seeing "the big picture" immediately! He has been by my side every step of the way! I would also like to thank Dennis and Daniel Bloom for this unbelievable opportunity of owning our own business and making it so easy for us to do so. To Stephanie Dakin, my IBO, thank you so much for listening, for the advice and encouragement along the way. It was so much appreciated! You have become a true friend and I can?t wait to meet you! To Regina Morris, my National Sales Director, who was always there to make things better when I thought the end of the world was near and especially for that last favor you ask of me. I will be forever grateful. To the whole Freedom At Home Team, for all the countless hours of training and encouragement you give so freely on a daily basis, THANK YOU! Last but certainly not least, I want to thank my family, my husband Steve and daughters Stephanie and Lauren for their understanding and encouragement along the way especially when Mommy was so unwilling to give up the family laptop! For my Mom and my niece Sandy, thank you for your willingness to help in any way! I love all you guys!
To all my IBO's: Jessica, Shirley, Steven, Jeffrey & Tracy, Becky, Tina, Charlene, Yolanda, Sori, Colleen and Patricia. YOU CAN DO IT! I have faith in each and every one of you! Believe in yourself and your dream and let nothing stop you! Know that you are where God wants you to be and the sky is the limit! I can't wait to see you all at the top!
David & LaDonna Trawick, Regional Sales Directors
Regional Sales Directors! It has a nice ring to it, but it is just a temporary stopping place!
When David and Jennifer Horton, first told my wife LaDonna and me about Ameriplan®; USA®, we immediately saw the "Big Picture" and knew that Ameriplan®; was what we were looking for. We are so thankful for the opportunity to represent a good company. We look forward to attaining the life goals that we have set for ourselves.
Thank you, Lord, for your blessings. Thanks to David and Jennifer Horton for introducing us to AmeriPlan®. Thanks to Janie Jones for the leadership and training website. I especially thank my neighbor and soon-to-be RSD Jeffrey Rowe for all his support, ideas and computer help. Keep pressing on.
Lisa M. Cruikshank, Regional Sales Director
This journey started a couple years ago, when I got hurt at work. I've tried several different work at home scams and failed at every single one. Then one day, I received a magazine in the mail called HOME/BUSINESS. I spent most of the night reading all the testimonies about all the different opportunities and I came across AmeriPlan®, something about Janie Jones story that caught my attention. The next morning I googled AmeriPlan® and some how I landed on Kelly Roberts FAHT website. I didn't even think about it I opted in for an interview. I couldn't wait for Kelly to call me. I came home for a couple nights and I'd ask my husband has anyone named Kelly called me? Then it happened she called, I didn't even have any questions. I didn't even have enough money in my checking account to cover the fifty dollars. I scraped up the money the next morning and ran to the bank and deposited the cash. Oct. 17, 2006 and off I went. I wanted this so bad, it was like a higher power was guiding me and now I know 4 brokers and 6 members later its GOD and help from Kelly that will make this work for me. Kelly was GOD sent and I know it! See you at the top Kelly!
Elaine Bubbico, Regional Sales Director
As I sit here writing this, its hard to believe that I've truly made my first level of RSD. Its taken just over 2 months, but I knew where I was headed, and for the first time I had the vision, it didn't matter how long it took to get there. I knew this wasn't Get Rich Quick. Ive been saying, Lord, could this really be the business that Ive searched for, for so long? Ive searched for so many years for a Home Based Business that is legitimate, and I've tried more than I care to admit. Thank God he directed me to AmeriPlan® and that I listened.
My husband is my WHY as he continues to work after retirement age because of mistakes made time and time again. We both want to give to those in need and Finance the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. You can't do that when you're broke. We have been Servant to the Lender and have gone around the same Mountain far too many times.
Im so thankful for my husband Michael, who encourages me each and every day, and once again believing in me. He too knows that AmeriPlan® is from God, although I know he thought at first, she's trying another one. We now, both have the vision with this Company, and thats what it takes.
I knew that I had to sign under the right person. I understand down-lines, and I knew how important it was to be in business with the right person as your leader. I interviewed a couple of people, and while they were very nice, I knew I hadn't found the right one yet. Then I read the testimony of Kathy Teese. I knew that God was saying, "This is the one." I was so excited! I called her and told her that God lead me to her.
I am so thankful for Kathy, my mentor and friend. She has encouraged me and prayed with me every step of the way and I want to thank God for her and say Kathy, I hope that I can lead and be as much a blessing to my down line as youve been to me. I'm going to the top with you!
We don't have any more time for another trip around the mountain; we must enter into the promises of God today. Habakkuk 2:3 says: For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end (fulfillment); it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.
This has been a Scripture I've kept in my heart for years and now I'm seeing it come to pass. Michael and I won't go around the mountain any more. God has blessed us with our vision and were on our way to financial freedom.
Konnie Polk, Regional Sales Director
"WHY?" - that seems to be the question right? Well, mine was more "WHY NOT?"
I have been fortunate enough to be married to a guy that has always been able to provide for his family - (courtesy of the USN), so I could focus on our family's future- our 3 beautiful children. It was tough, and like most families, we had to make choices, you know the kind that aren't always what the kids want to hear.
Now with AmeriPlan® I have found a way and a desire to literally improve the way we live. I'm so happy to be lightening the load that my wonderful husband has carried all these years! I'm having a blast - and growing a team that I am already so excited about.
Thank you to my personal cheer leading staff at home, Tami Leckbee - for the introduction, you're a PRO, Janie Jones - you have shown us all the path and then you invited us down it! The Bloom brothers got it RIGHT! They have provided the OPPORTUNITY, given us the SUPPORT, and the highest quality in TRAINING out there...HOORAY for all of us!
Judy Bernard, Regional Sales Director
I want to give all thanks and praise to my Heavenly Father. When he says Trust In Him he means just that. I have had some hills to climb, but thank God look where he brought me from. I also want to thank my husband Calvin and my wonderful daughter Christian. They are my Why. They are in the background cheering me on all the way to the top. I want to thank my mother and sisters, every time I think about working from home full time, it just make me work harder. Special thanks to my IBOs, Kelly Pira and Audrey Criswell. Thank you for cheering me on, answering my questions and making things easier for me. Thank you Regina and Pennie Every time I needed something you were there for me. And thank you Janie, it was your story that caused me to call the toll free number and leave a message.
My upline is incredible, "Simply The Best," quitting was never an option. To my downline: Carolyn, Sherylyne, LaRonda, Sherry, William, and Robert hang in their, the best is yet to come. Future RSD and beyond.
To all the IBO's, it doesn't matter have long you've been with AmeriPlan® your time and your season is on the way.
Thank you Lord for the Bloom Brothers, had they not heard the call from God we would not be where we are today.
I just want to leave my favorite scripture with everyone. Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strenth: they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
Shannon Lunsford, Regional Sales Director
I give all the glory to God, without Him I know none of this would have been possible. I am so thankful that he opened this door of opportunity for me. Thank you to my IBO and awesome trainer, Renee Winans! You Rock! Thanks to my upline and to the Freedom at Home Team, the best team in AmeriPlan®! I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful business, and can't wait to see what the future holds. I never dreamed being a single mom, that I would ever have the opportunity to have my own business and stay at home. It is a wonderful feeling to know that I am able to be there for my son whenever he needs me. My only regret is that I did not find AmeriPlan® sooner, but God knows best. Thanks again to everyone, and God Bless!
Elizabeth Cottrell, Regional Sales Director
I would like to give thanks to God for bring this business to my attention. I have try so many home businesses and this is the first one, I can say it was God's doing, because when I went on the work from home website, I had not been on that site in two years and I had a strong feeling that day to look at it. And that is how I found the AmeriPlan® ad. It is still hard to believe that I have finally found a real home business. I know that I didn't get to RSD as fast as I wanted, but that is ok, because I still made it and hope to make SRSD a lot sooner. I want to build this business for financial freedom and to help those that need this service. I would like to thank Wanda Bowers for calling me and for encouraging me to keep trying. I would like to thank everyone on the training calls they have been a great help in showing me how easy this is to do.
Heather Blackwell, Regional Sales Director
My husband Ron and I have been AmeriPlan® Independent Business owners since 2004. When we were introduced to AmeriPlan®, we loved the idea of financial freedom and the life style it would provide. But more than that, we loved that AmeriPlan® can increase the time you get to spend with the most important people in your life. The great thing about this company is that these are just not ideas. This is reality. Besides being parents to our beautiful daughters, Brooklyn (4 yrs old) and Karsyn (7 mos old), we both have full-time jobs. Ron is a driller offshore and I am a night shift RN at a rehabilitation hospital. Our incomes from our traditional jobs allow us to live comfortably, but we realize we lack in other aspects of our lives. We know that AmeriPlan® is not a get rich quick scheme, but with dedication in the near future there will be no babysitters, no missed holidays, ball games, birthdays, anniversaries, or field trips.
Now to enlighten you on how all my beliefs in this company began. My IBO is my older sister, Brandy Gray. She stepped out on a limb and had faith in this company based on a stranger's word. Me, on the other hand was skeptical and always believed you had to have a traditional 40 hour a week job to have a decent income. Now my sister has changed my point of view. She has surpassed my nursing income and I watch her income grow everyday while being a stay at home mom. Me and my husband see first hand the possibilities offered by this company. With AmeriPlan® the sky is truly the limit and we will no longer live by the saying, "I go to work to make the money to buy the food to have the strength to dig the ditch".
To my mom (Deborah Hagan) and my sister (Brandy Gray). We will meet you both at the top!
Herman Hayes, Regional Sales Director
While sipping on my morning coffee today I contemplated what I might write concerning my promotion to RSD. I realized this accomplishment was the sum total of many people. From the inception of the idea Dennis & Daniel Bloom had to the examples they set at the beginning with their vision and tenacity to forge ahead in the midst of obstacles toward the development of this phenomenal company.
Thank you to each an every person who has been instrumental in my training, your role to this point can NEVER be forgotten. Those who are already successful to those who are just getting started, your roles are important. There are those who simply want to save money and those who desire to make money (and lots of it), your place is with Ameriplan®; USA®. I have met people who simply want to help others rise above the plight they are currently experiencing without benefits. We inspire others with the introduction of AmeriPlan® into their lives. We give them HOPE! They, like us, can dream again.
Let us not forget that none of this is by accident! No, all is by divine design. It is a gift from God when we find ourselves at the right place at the right time. Let us not forget that many have searched for happiness and hope. How few ever realize it.
I am thankful for Jean Stinich (my sponsor) who returned my call one day from another state. Susan Goodknight and Theresa Dosch are unwavering in their quest to build a GREAT Team. Yes, this accomplishment is the sum total of many, many I have yet to meet but look forward to the occasion.
It's funny how similar we are to my delicious morning cup of java; for example...which of the coffee grinds can say, "I made this coffee taste so good"? It was not one coffee granule, but the sum total of their contributions together. So it is with us. May the dreams we all look FORWARD to take us further away from the nightmares we leave behind.
DeeAnna Marek, Regional Sales Director
FINALLY RSD! Well, where do I start? It took me so long to reach this point I don't know if It's really true yet!
I have been with AmeriPlan® since the end of March and just when I thought I was on a roll, my 3 year old came in to change my direction! That is what happens when you are a Stay-at-Home and Work-from-Home-Mom! I never know what my day is going to be like until my son wakes up!
I do have to thank my family-Chris, my husband, who never has told me no even when I should've been! Also, my 4 beautiful children J.C. 17, Raelyn 15, Carson 7 and Elliot, just turned 3! They have ALL been supportive of my New Found Career w/ AmeriPlan®, even though they cringe when someone starts to say something that sparks the topic of AmeriPlan®!
I have had so much fun learning, but also been discouraged because I thought I should've been there by now. I've just kept telling myself that it's not my time yet! Now it is!
I want to Thank Debbie Tuley for always being there whenever I've had a question or just to see what she's been doing w/her business & to get some pointers! Thank You! I also want to Thank Becky, my NSD, for just being real w/me & telling me that RSD IS the hardest to achieve, so don't get discouraged. Thanks to Wendy with her calls too! I couldn't have done it without all of YOU! See you all at the TOP!
Chris Taylor, Regional Sales Director My WHY: First and foremost I absolutely have to be able to help people in order to feel satisfied with my work. AmeriPlan® satisfies that need while allowing me to work from home, stay close to my daughter and ultimately earn more than I ever would even if I had studied for my SAT test. Almost everyone has 2 main goals, which are to make more money and work from home.
However, I also ask every new prospect what their ultimate dream is... If money were no object - that thing that they hold near to their heart and protect. My Dream is to start an Open Scholarship (not necessarily a scholarship for college) An Open Scholarship (cash funds and other support) for people who have been injured on the job, had their lives and sometimes their bodies destroyed and have to build back up again from the bottom - who's goal is to somehow, great or small make the world a more beautiful place.
AmeriPlan® gives me the tools and training to build this Open Scholarship Fund, not to mention stay at home with my daughter and buy a great house.
My experience with AP so far:
1.) The deeper/more involved I get with this company the more impressed I become. For example-
The membership benefits: from learning about the hospital advocacy program on the Health plan side to the Announcement of the New Amerisight Benefit – LASIK starting at $945 an eye!
IBO benefits: the discount at Office Depot (cha-ching!) to the First Class Training at Home on the training websites and the fact that AmeriPlan® invests in its IBO'S with continued leadership training, like flying people to Dallas, and putting them up first class for NSD training at the Corporate offices – at no cost to me! Not to mention the income potential!
2.) Also, I've had the pleasure of experiencing certain truths.
1.) This is a Simple business to run. At some point after my training the light bulb came on for me! Halleluiah! This is all I have to do? Put the info out there and "they will come..." Make small yet consistent steps every day and that builds...
2.) A basically unstoppable momentum once it gets going.
3.) I have the opportunity of living my DREAM –if on a slightly smaller scale than the Open Scholarship - on a day-to-day basis with AmeriPlan®. I talk to people who have been through work comp injuries, MVA and regular people who are at a point in their lives where they have either been forced to make a change or they made the choice willingly. Either way it is a new beginning for them. I get to help them through it and I know somewhere along the line that does makes the world a more beautiful place to live in.
Where I am going: Obviously I'm going to NVP. The momentum has begun and I won’t change that. Plus I have an answer to the Age-old question: What do you want to be when you grow up? I know it now! I'm there! This is it! I have found my place and the adventure has just begun!
Debi Copfer, Regional Sales Director
Wow, what a fun ride!
From the day I found Becky's ad on the internet, my life has changed! And when I say changed, I mean in every aspect. Not only do I have a new lease on my financial future, my confidence and self pride grows each time I talk to a new prospect and they sign up! It is the best feeling to be able to help others bring such happiness into their lives as well. What a high! And, the cool thing about all of this is that it spills over into all the other areas of my life! Others have noticed the wonderful change in me too. I am so greatful to God and give him thanks throughout my day for bringing such a wonderful blessing into my life. And, thank you to everyone involved with AmeriPlan® that has allowed me this opportunity.
For the new IBO's my advice is to keep "smiling." Each person you talk to about AmeriPlan®, make sure you have a "smile" on your face even if your heart is pounding and your palms are sweating. As soon as I started doing this, my sign ups increased, I started to relax and my prospects could tell. Another good one is to ask for the business. "How do you "feel" about getting started today?" Ask and you shall receive! For some reason at first this very obvious line was sooo hard to say. I guess I was just waiting and hoping they would say "Get me started" when in actuality, they were waiting for me to take the lead and say "Let me get you started in a business that will absolutely change your life"!
Bobbi Prim, Regional Sales Director
When I signed up with AmeriPlan® I got a very slow start for various reasons. It was also a very hectic time for our family, plus I signed up right before a holiday season, my daughter soon after having her second child and needing help, etc. etc. I didn't have time for myself let alone starting a business, but I was bound and determined to make it work - to reach my two why's 1) stop living from paycheck to paycheck, and 2) help my husband who works so hard and so many hours, to retire early. The only time I had to myself was in the middle of the night so I had no real opportunities to make presentations so ... I trained and researched the company, policies, procedures, scripts, how to do this and how to do that, prepared my fliers, ads business cards. Eventually, I started placing ads on the internet even if it was only one a night. I signed up one IBO a month - HEY! It was a start!
Finally, this January 1st my new year's resolution was to go "full bull" and really blast this business like crazy all over creation. I rolled up my sleeves, worked hard for my first goal of reaching RSD - and here I am - only 17 days later! - RSD. I can't believe I did it! I knew I could do it in under 30 days, but 17! I'm on cloud nine!
First and foremost, I want to thank God, our Heavenly Father for making me see that "Work at Home" ad - I wasn't looking for a job or anything, but this ad kept popping up all over - I couldn't miss it! Skeptic that I was after working many home-based businesses, finally, I thought "ok, let's see what's wrong with this company." I spent two solid weeks researching Ameriplan®; - looking for something wrong - I found nothing! Thank you, Lord, for all of your blessings, for with you I know all things are possible.
Secondly, thanks to my best friend and husband, Steve, with his unending support, encouragement and help! I love you, Steve!
Thanks to Julie Klein for "introducing" me to AmeriPlan®. Thanks to Janie Jones for the leadership and training website. Thanks to Janie Jones and Wendy Hiemenz for your videos and being my inspiration! Thanks to Wendy Hiemenz also for her Q&A calls - they are the greatest! Thanks to Dani Johnson for her unending training calls and script book!
To my team members - I know where you are and I believe in each and every one of you. I have been there, too and you all amaze me with your enthusiasm, energy and vision! I love each and every one of you - you are the best team in the world! YOU CAN DO IT! Believe in yourself and your dream and let nothing stop you! Know that you are where God wants you to be and the sky is the limit! I can't wait to see you all at the top! Remember our key word "VISIBILITY" and our motto, "Failure is NOT an option!"
Lee Raymer, Regional Sales Director
GOD & AMERIPLAN® will provide: I have had heart problems for some time now. Ive had a tripple by-pass and several other heart procedures since 2002. I had been a construction Superintendent since 1982 and being able to work was getting harder by the day. I received a call one day in September from Kathy Bard telling me about Ameriplan. I wasnt really interested but knew that I wouldnt last much longer as a Superintendent. I had no money saved, no life insurance, my wife has cancer (in remission) and can't work, so if I died she would lose every thing. September 13, 2006 I had a defribrillator installed but when I went back to work, the company let me go. What a shock ! Then I realized God had given me AmeriPlan®. So at the end of September, I went to work and today if I died my family will still have an income. Thank you God, Kathy, and AmeriPlan®
Donna Durrett, Regional Sales Director
I finally made it I can't believe it. I came across AmeriPlan® in September while online looking for a job. I had taken a leave of absence in June to take care of my father after a heart attack, open heart surgery and many complications. When I was ready to go back to my job I was told my position had been filled because I was gone to long. All I can say is THANK YOU BOSS for doing me the biggest favor of firing me, because if you hadn't I would have never found AmeriPlan®. I wouldn't have had a reason to be looking for work at all and I'd still be going to a job I hated everyday. The day I found that ad I felt like I had been lead to it by someone greater than me, it stood out so much that it was all I could see. I checked it out and the more I read the more I liked what I saw and everything just started to fall into place.
Excited just doesn't describe how I feel right now. I'd like to thank my upline Kathleen Bard for all her help and pep talks, she has never been to busy to help me with anything. Thank you to Shona Hill for all of your help I really appreciate everything. Thank you to Kelly Fuller your e-mails always seem to come at the right time, you made me feel like I could make it when I didn't think I could, so thank you. And my best friend Amy Lecato, girl you don't know how glad I am that found you, thanks to AmeriPlan®. Amy kept me sane, when I was down and saying I'm going to quit it's just not working for me, she would say give it time you just got started your doing great. We go out every week and work the plan together and have a great time. And we are always bouncing ideas off each other, so thanks Amy for everything. I'd also like to thank everyone who sign on as IBO's with me thank you. So for anyone out there right now who's frustrated, don't give up, you can do it I know you can! I told Kathleen Bard I didn't have anything to say and now I can't seem to stop! This is soooo GREAT! RSD RSD RSD!
Amy LeCato, Regional Sales Director
I am so excited to have finally made RSD with AmeriPlan®! It's amazing what you can do when you make a decision to reach your goals! Your mind is so powerful! If you just program your mind daily with positive affirmations and believe in yourself, the sky is the limit!
First and foremost I want to thank Kathy Bard who signed up me into this awesome company on June 1, 2006. We have been to a Dani Johnson Convention as well as the AmeriPlan® Leadership Conference together, which helped us tremendously with this business. At the leadership Conference I had the honor and privilege to meet Janie and Michael Jones, Wendy Hiemenz and Kelly Fuller! I am so grateful to be on the Freedom at Home Training Team! We are the best because we have true leaders who are totally committed to our success! I would also like to recognize Shona Hill who is such a dedicated leader! I would also like to thank Donna Durrett for helping me stay on track. We live in the same area so we did a lot of foot work together distributing flyers and had so much fun! I also want to thank and encourage my IBO's Danny Mansfield, Cindy Hicks, Julie Carr and Treva Thomas. You have what it takes to make it to the top!
I thank God everyday for my life, my family and this company. Thank you Daniel and Dennis Bloom for having the vision for AmeriPlan®! See you at the top!
Toni Peyton, Regional Sales Director
WOW!! I made it. First I HAVE to give GOD all the Glory, because without Him I can do nothing. From the second I received the e-mail about this company I caught the vision. I was so scared, not because I might fail (I was use to that... but because I saw with AmeriPlan® I could succeed). All of this is for my 2 WHY's, My son Ajamu and my daughter Amadi - I will give you both a legacy that you can be proud of. I love you two so much.
Shona Hill - from the bottom of my heart I thank you. To my special IBO Kathleen Bard - words cannot express how much your encouragement has meant to me. Whenever I needed to e-mail you to vent you have been there so calming and positive. What would I have done without you. Also I thank God for my team. This has not been an easy road to RSD, but I've listened to so many calls I always hear in my head Janie Jones saying "Quitting is not an option". Thank you Kelly Fuller because when I eat this "elephant one bite at a time" I can get it done. The training and support we get from you all is second to none. All the calls, the training sites, the coaching sites, the book (The Slight Edge) has given me more than a how to succeed in business, they have made me stretch and grow into a better person. I thank God for giving Dennis and Daniel Bloom the AmeriPlan® vision. Now in the name of Jesus I say SRSD here I come!
Donna Spano, Regional Sales Director
Getting to RSD wasn't easy, but you know what, it wasn't that hard either. Looking back over the last 3 months, I realized that it's been fun and rewarding. I've learned a lot of good things about myself and other people. I've learned that I'm not the type of person who will give up.
I love know that everytime I do something in the company that I keep growing and getting better and better at it. I love having a team that is behind me every step of the way who believes in me. I knew I wanted (needed) a change in the direction my life was going. I didn't want to work outside of my home anymore. I wanted something better and I found it with AmeriPlan®. I'm so glad that Chantelle Heiskell called me and told me about a better plan for my life. I believed what she told me then and I still believe what she tells me today. She lets me know how not to give up on myself. She also reminds me that GOD never gives up on us. He knows that we can do anything with HIM.
Thank you Chantelle, you are absolutely the best IBO ever. Thanks to Janie Jones, you are such a great leader and I know how much you do for all of us and helping us to excell in the company. Thanks also to Becky Blacka, I have never talked to you personally, but I use your script and am always on your live calls.
Leslie Martin, Regional Sales Director
Well, I made it and Im incredibly excited about being with AmeriPlan® and being able to offer benefits that help individuals and families, along with being able to offer others the freedom of working at home for such a great organization. I found AmeriPlan® after many months of looking and was immediately impressed with the integrity of the company and the wonderfully supportive team that we have.
My why is that in my previous life I was an executive for a Fortune 100 insurance company, taking corporate jets, and making a lot of money, but I was traveling 50-75% of the time my kids thought their relationship with their mom was on a cell phone. I was working 50-80 hours per week, missing out on our kids events, little time with my husband, and not loving life any longer. We have twin 10 year old kids and our son has Down Syndrome hes doing wonderful but as with all kids with special needs they need additional time so that they are successful in life. I'm now able to do that and be there for both of them. I gave up the corporate life to be a stay-at-home mom, but I needed something that allowed us to take those nice vacations again yet still allow me to be there for the kids Ameriplan®; allows me to do that and more! I cant wait to see where we all go from here!
LaTasha Wydman, Regional Sales Director
It's been a long time coming, but a change HAS COME! I am so completely grateful for what God has allowed to take place in my life through AmeriPlan®! I am a stay at home mom and I have been looking to work from home for a long time! On last year, I was searching earnestly to find an opportunity because my son was beginning Pre-K and I wanted to be able to attend school functions with him, be available to go to his class, and not have to put my son and daughter in day care! To add to that element, we are a military family and with my husband being deployed off and on, I wanted to maintain stability for our children AND be able to generate a decent income AT HOME!
In my search last year, finding a legitimate company that would provide what I needed and what I was looking for felt impossible! I have tried ALMOST EVERYTHING! From surveys, to work at home job banks, and then the wellness company. By this time, my husband, Anthony, became very weary of work at home opportunities I would find and want to try. I had come across Ameriplan®; once before and did not go through with it because the person I requested an interview from never called me back. When I came across Ameriplan®; last year and began to do research on the company and ask Chantelle, my IBO and friend, as many questions as I could come up with, I decided this was the company for me; and that was in June 2006. Here I am, 7 months later and I am a REGIONAL SALES DIRECTOR!!! I am so excited. This company has provided me with an amazing opportunity and I have adopted the saying, QUITTING IS NEVER AN OPTION! Many days I had to tell myself that in order to keep going. AmeriPlan® offers such a needed product and an awesome opportunity that quitting seemed ridiculous! I would like to offer thanks to my husband, Anthony; who was very skeptic at first has now become a great supporter and I love him! I would also like to thank my mother, Sundra, and my sister, Deatru, for their amazing support and encouragement throughout this entire process. To my brother, George, who was my first member and a great supporter of me. Thank you for being the first of many! To my team: Marvette, Thomas, Tina, & Virgina - thank you for coming on board! Always remember, persitency is the KEY! Last but most certainly not least, is my IBO Chantelle and my NSD Janie. You two have been just AWESOME in your support of getting me to RSD. I thank you for your encouragement and for believing in me enough to help me when I became stuck.
LORD, I ASK YOU TO CONTINUE TO ENLARGE MY TERRITORY! SRSD, HERE I COME!
Shanyn Coblentz, Regional Sales Director
When growing up, I always heard the saying "Be content with what you have." Well, I have always been content, I just don't SETTLE for what I have. I love to push myself to the next level- with AmeriPlan® you can do that! I think it's amazing that the NSDs, NVP and everyone else takes the time, their personal time, to train all of us. No other organization online has such a strong infrastructure for training and support. For that I am thankful. There's no doubt in my mind that God brought me to this opportunity but when something like that happens, you have two choices- LISTEN TO HIM and jump into it or be afraid to step out and lose the blessings that will come with it.
My husband is the best man alive. He stands by me, supports me and is my partner when walking the road of life. I've learned to lean on those who are supportive. The naysayers will always be there but the more successful you become, the less they are in the forefront trying to tell you how you can't do it! They will be the ones begging to work with you in the end! Never settle! You can do it! Look how many others have- you really are no different. Here's to the next stepping stone in the AmeriPlan® journey!
Patty Brierly, Regional Sales Director
I made it! I feel like I can take a giant sigh of relief now. I am so excited to have made it to Regional Sales Director. I've never had such a distinguished title before. I began my journey on November 12th, 2006 and for a while there was wondering what the heck am I doing. But, once I figured it all out it became very clear to me. I am creating a better life for my family and I and that was my WHY.
Further down the road, my why began to materialize into something even bigger. I work fulltime and just recently the company started to downsize. I'm still with the company, but now I have 3 other jobs that I have to do. Get this, I was in small sales and now I am doing that plus accounting (payables, receivables and payroll) and shipping and teacher support on top of answering the phones and doing customer and technical support. Talk about wearing many hats. So, you can probably imagine what my other WHY is.
I'm so grateful that my Heavenly Father led me to AmeriPlan®. I knew before I even spoke with my IBO (Michelle Alvey) that I was going to sign up. As soon as I spoke with Kelly Pira and Regina Morris, I knew I was in the right place. They have answered so many of my questions and have been there for me the whole way. My mentor is Regina just because I knew that she had to overcome a lot of the same obstacles that I did and still do. I know that if she could do it, then I should be able to also. I just have to roll my sleeves up and dig in.
I've got some great IBO's that I have the privilege of working with and becoming great friends with. I see so much potential in each one of them. It's going to be so fun to help them get to RSD. I can't see us going anywhere but up at this point.
Mocha Fullery, Regional Sales Director
I Thank GOD for allowing me to make it to the first level as RSD. I know that as I put HIM first, he will enable me to continue on to the next levels with this great company. I know that life is all about helping other people. I have always wanted to have a successful home based business. I was looking even more for a work at home opportunity, after I became disabled last year. I lost my job as a Judicial Assistant and Deputy Clerk with the County Courts in Colorado, because of my disability. So I decided to get involved with AmeriPlan® in August of 2006. I finally made a real commitment to my business in October. When I decided to get serious, that’s when things started to happen for me. After all, I had no other options, no money and no other income. As a single mom with 2 wonderful kids to care for, I didn’t want to disappoint my kids and I didn’t want to disappoint myself. I made the decision that this was going to be the business that I was going to make work for me, no matter what.
Out of the eight home based businesses I have tried in the past, AmeriPlan® is the only Company with the benefits, training, support, the relationships and integrity that really touched my heart, to give my all for the next few years to become financially free.
I THANK GOD, for this great opportunity and privilege to be a part of Ameriplan®; and to have AWESOME Mentors and Leaders on the "Freedom At Home Team" to learn and grow from. I especially want to thank both Pennie Berk (National Sales Director), my IBO and Janie Jones (National Vice President), for your encouragement and support.
"With GOD, All Things Are Possible."
On now, to continue my journey of helping others, to get to the next level.
Diane Hess, Regional Sales Director
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope? -Helen Keller
The website said "Join Now". So I DID! The Blooms offer such a wonderful opportunity, and I'm honored to be a part of it. This is a company who truly, hands down, helps people.
Being from Plano, I often pass the AmeriPlan® building on my way to the bank. Seeing the corporate headquarters constantly reminds me of the solidness of this company and the successes of so many which resulted because they believed in this company and ultimately in themselves.
Stephanie, I would like to thank you for always being available and encouraging me.
To all my IBOs, thank you so much for signing up for my team. I wish you much success within this business. Quoting many others, "we are on the inside track of something really BIG"! Today is an exciting time to be a part of AmeriPlan®. You are all wonderful, and with hard work can achieve your personal goal in Ameriplan®; as well.
The training and conference calls are invaluable. I love the genuineness all of you bring to your work. I'm thankful to be a member of such an uplifting community.
My children and my husband Brad have given me wonderful support. Everywhere we go, we talk to someone about AmeriPlan®. My son, who is 9, knows a great deal about the company already and often adds in his two cents.

Sheneequa Marro, Regional Sales Director
I knew this day would come. I am finally a Regional Sales Director with AmeriPlan®! I believed in this company from the beginning. I became a broker in October of 2006, I came from a health insurance background and this concept really made since to me, Ameriplan®; has helped so many people in so many ways we really are in the business of changing lives. I would like to thank god for the many blessings I have received since I became a broker with AmeriPlan®. My husband has watched me grow and change in so many ways since starting this business and I want to thank him for always believing in me.
To my IBO Jennifer Roth she is one of the kindest most generous people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, she is a great mentor and leader and she has become one of the people I hold dearest to me and her support and encouragement has gotten me through many a hurdles. Jen you are the best!
Thank you to all the Leaders and Mentors on the Freedom at Home team and I especially want to thank Regina Morris and Janie Jones for their quick responses to my email inquires and for always being so accessible to the team.
To all the new brokers on the Freedom at Home team I am no different than you are, if you are willing to be coachable, and can plug into the training and work your business consistently you will see that snow ball begin to take momentum and you WILL achieve your dream of financial Freedom.
Brenda Griffith, Regional Sales Director
Whew..I made it to RSD! It took me nearly 90 days to do it, but I was determined to get there and now it's done. SRSD here I come!
I thank the Lord for leading me to AmeriPlan®. I, like many others, was looking for an avenue to get me out of the daily grind of commuting, working out side the home, and trying to balance a busy family life. My goals are set and I hope to be home full time within the next 12 months. Still to this day I don't know how I found my very supportive IBO Colleen Gatto as I tried to retrace my steps on the internet and couldn't find her link the second time. God certainly had a hand in it, I'm sure.
As skeptics go, I'm right at the top of the list. I researched AmeriPlan® from every angle possible including the Better Business Bureau. After all the research I found no legitimate reason why I should not try it out. I called Colleen and said, ok sign me up. What a DREAM COME TRUE!
Working for AmeriPlan® will eventually give me the necessary financial freedom to quit the dreaded daily total 3 hour commute and enable me to stay home with my family full time. I am thankful for the opportunity that has been sent my way and with dedication and determination I intend to grow with AmeriPlan®. All the while, I continue to focus on one of the most treasured assets in my life; my family.
I thank my IBO Colleen for keeping me motivated and helping me reach RSD, as I push her up the ladder, she's been pulling me. Team work is what it's all about.
I also thank the good Lord on a daily basis for giving me such a supportive husband, and two beautiful children who keep me focused on that dream of being home with them full time in the near future.
To my up-line, thanks for being ahead of me and developing all the training as you?ve created an excellent road map for those of us on you heels. To all of my IBO's and team members, never look back and keep focused on the future, you'll get to where you want to go, I'm sure of it.
