>> Hi we have been in Team National now going on 2 years. We love it we haven't worked very hard at it but love the savings we get. You don't have to pay to be a distributor we did buy the premimum package which as long as I purchase anything every year which isn't hard to do then it will renew for no additional cost to us. You also are not required to have a web page it is optional. I home school my children and I order all my products from either Office Depot, Staples they ship right to my house in a few days. I recieve commissions between 3% to 10 % commission on my items including paper,etc. We order art supplies from Dick Blick and get 10 % You go through the Big N Marketplace to order this is how you get the credit for your commission for you buys.
Our benefits package is where we can save on automotive services, beauty products, voip, wireless, internet, long distance, dental, eye discounts, prescription discounts, nutrition, jewelry, motorcycles, pre-paid shipping envelopes , finances, vehicles, RV's, Home furnishings etc. The benefits are awesome and if you are saving money then you are making money. The furniture which I love I have been to see it at the headquarters it is beautiful furniture for great prices and it will be shipped directly to you. We are planning on moving in the next year and we will furnish our house will new furniture for a fraction of the cost in the stores. They have name brand furniture and as a benefit you can see the furniture and pick it out if there is a problem with anything they give you a 100% guarantee and they mean it.
You can put your own business in the TN directory. Such as a mechanics shop can be on there and you type in your zip code. It will give you the name of the business and the savings you get for showing your TN card. We have more businesses in our area that show up all the time.
The Big N Marketplace is not part of the Team National Benefits package and does not offer special savings to TN customers this is an income stream in which the IMD's who own sites get commission on purchases made through the sites. Home Depot you buy gift cards online and you do get commission for the gift cards and you can only use them in a store not online. When was the last time you purchased a gift card and also made money for doing so?
You are not forced to buy products to be in it. They do sale a few nutritonal products that are wonderful but not quotas are forced on you at all. We love the program and know that this will be a income for us in the future.
I am sorry that some of you felt pressured or didn't like the feeling of it. It is not for everyone but for those of us who love it we will support it. We have tried many other programs and have made more money in this than we did in others for 10 years. It is also not rated as MLM or pyramid it is a binary.
It is a great company.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
