ADA, Okla., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Since Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. (NYSE: PPD) announced the re-launch of its marketing program at the 2009 Leadership Summit, there has been a significant increase in the number of independent associates achieving senior-level recognition and earnings with the company.
"We have delivered a strong message about the growth potential at Pre-Paid Legal
Services and our independent sales associates are responding to this opportunity," said Harland C. Stonecipher, Founder and CEO of Pre-Paid Legal, Inc. "For the four-week period, from September 21 through October 16, 2009, we have seen more activity at all levels within the associate network, and we are proud to announce 13 major recognition and earning awards."
These associate recognition and earnings awards (Editors: see note below) include:
-- $100,000 Ring Earners: Michael and Lisa McCoy (Clive, Iowa), Scott and Ronda Ferguson (Houston, Texas), Ryan Sean Burns (West Jordan, Utah), Trina Robinson and Austin Kemie (Los Angeles, California) -- $250,000 Ring Earner: Chris and Sky Hughes (Murrietta, California) -- $300,000 IncomeEarners: Frank and Theresa AuCoin (Charleston, South Carolina), Sean and Loren Mikael (Los Angeles, California) -- $800,000 Income Earner: Mark and Tammy Smith (Mission Viejo, California) -- $1.5 million Income Earner: Brian Carruthers (Davidsonville, Maryland) -- Millionaire Club Member: Kim Ferris (Amherst, New York) and Joe and Doreen Wilkinson (North Richland Hills, Texas) -- Platinum Level Award: Danny and Charlotte Walker (South Pete Beach, Florida)
Stonecipher referenced timing as a key variable in the recent surge of associate success. "In this economy people need legal advice -- they have legal issues -- and they need additional income," Stonecipher said. "Our product and opportunity provide access to legal counsel and a way to generate more cash flow, both in the form of first-year commissions and residual income in later years."
Editors Note:
Associate earnings are either for commissions earned during a 12-month period (which includes the "corporate ring system" given at earning levels of $100,000, $250,000, $500,000 and one million dollars) or for the Millionaire Club (which includes associates who have achieved one million dollars in commissions during their association with PPD). Pre-Paid Legal recognition includes other programs, such as the Platinum awards, a network leadership designation.
