Team National Reviews

we were approached by a team national rep. signed up and the next morning realized it was a big mistake. the rep did not leave us a copy of what we signed that offered a 3 day right of recession form so we could get out of it. the next morning we tried to dispute with our credit card and tried to contact company from #'s on the internet. remember, we had no information as to how to contact the company. no phone calls were returned. 5 months qand an investigation be team national stated that the rep did in fact leave us our copies with our 3 day form. this was such a lie!! he left us nothing and promised he would email me what we signed. never happened!!! over two thousand dollars later now we face court. this rep was a pastor of a church in arkansas. we do have phone records and a dispute record to show our side and we hope the judge will see his lies. why would anyone go through the dispute process on a c. card and attempt several calls, if they only had to sign and fax a form in to get out of it? well, because we did not have the form!!!!! he intentionally decieved us by not sending us the copy with our rights on it. be careful when you deal with these reps.

I think it is very odd that 90% of the positive statements here sound like they come from the exact same person. I went to a TN presentation and the "selling points" are identical to what these (positive TN experiences) are. Either way, the same people that roped me into the TN presentation will tell you today that it was a huge mistake. I didn't sign up for anything and these acquaintances still apologize to me.

My wife and I joined about 3 months ago when a friend of hers introduced her to the national companies. We have tried other companies before and I was very skeptical. I did not want anything to do with it. I told her to do it on her own and prove to me that it works. Boy I was surprised when she saved us more money than it cost us to sign up in the first 2 weeks. We were so excited we shared (notice I said shared) it with our family and friends. After they joined and saved money like we did, we started making money! I mean how great is that. I especially like the part that they have no product requirements. The thing that confuses me is that other companies require you spend money every month to become a member or to buy products. With TN, you only pay once and you have a lifetime to save money using their concept. I would at the very least check it out, watch the video, and ask questions. You can read all these comments but if you don't get the facts yourself, you will not have the information to make an informed decision.

Thanks

We have been associated with Team National for a while now and it is by far the most profitable business in America today.The people who we have met and MLM with are 100 percent sucessful in working and offering the savings end and business end.Not one of the hundreds have lost a dime but instead enjoy great savings and financial freedom that is far beyond a families belief.Yes there are hundreds who enjoy 10 to 100 thousand dollars in earned income each and every month.The leadership in the company is above reproach.I have never been so glad to be associated with such christain people who place family future and time freedom to all who want a better way.Let me say this again that any one no matter the back ground can succeed with team national.The money is real and the lifestyle is great but above all this is an association with great families who have more faith than any company in America.A burning desire ,and a teachable attitude will deliver success to all who look for a higher calling to never live in poverty by helping others to see the finest America has to offer.Nothing will ever come close to this unless it is copied.Pray about it and find someone to help you get started.Its real ,its affordable and it works 100 percent of the time .I have seen it with my own eyes hundreds of times.No one or family has ever failed with this company who went to work and helped others see and achieve there family dreams.

I bought in. It's cheaper and easier for me to go to Target and buy stuff myself, even factoring in the gas and wear and tear to my car. There is a tremendous dangling of carrots!!! Members in the upper tiers are pretty much lying when they tell you they make $10k a week...they tell you that hoping that it will be a carrot in front of your face. It's a lot like drug dealing...(read Freakonomics)...the dealers on the street sell in hope they can become the 1 out of 1,000,000 others that actually run the show. I will estimate only about the top 2%-3% of people in Team National make another $20k a year, the top 1% make over $80k a year, but they are doing it full time and really, really busting their butts!! I have a better chance starting up a brick and mortar venture! Don't expect to get rich on this product.

I have in fact seen it work. Not a member yet but going to be. My friend joined and a years time has made over 40,000 without pressuring anyone. He lets the product sell itself. He has never pressured me. I have been involved in other MLM's that just don;t work. I was skeptical at first, but I have seen the proof.

As a member of Team National my family and I are very pleased. We have been involved for nearly 2 years. We have saved a tremendous amount of money on every day type items, we have earned a back our entire investment. We were told when we became involved with the company this is a working business and nothing comes for free. We are proud to be Team National Members

You can make money at any MLM. If they didn't work they wouldn't be around... However, that being said, MLMs are not "businesses" they are a giant ponzie scheme where the first people in make a killing and the people at the end get the shaft. This company may save you some money and may even make you some in the long run but you have to ask yourself what is that worth.

I worked for an MLM and was... above average, making a few grand in about 6 months. I say a few grand is above average because most people are in and out so fast they don't have time for the ink to dry on their "purchase their own business" check. These things are a ton of work and you have to be shameless to do it. You will find yourself at parties, out to lunch and even the super market asking random strangers if they "are open to saving/making a few extra grand a month." You also a forced to beg your friends and family to help you out and buy products from you. If they are nice, they will. However, as soon as you leave they will all start talking bad about you. I don't care who you are, your friends and family will feel pressured and trapped into helping you and resent you for it. Eventually, people will start avoiding you and stop inviting you to gatherings. This is because these programs are designed to make you think about one thing, money. You will have "business meetings" which are nothing more than a shot of courage so you can go ask your best friend's mom if she wants to save money on redecorating her living room.

Then, when you finally fail (unless you are one of the 1/4% that stay in for more than a year) you will have to bear that cross for a long time to come. You will have lost a few friends but with luck you can appologize and get them back.

I'm sure I will get bashed for writing this and people will say "that's not true, my family loves me for saving them money"... Sorry, but no they don't. They are nice to your face but then glad when you leave the room... Also, before you write me and tell me I'm wrong, truley look at how much money you made last year before you talk about your 3 sports cars and that Victoria Secret model your now dating. Chances are you are brand new to the company and you are filled with hope or you have been around long enough to make some money and seen far more people fail than succeed. If you are the latter, you justify taking people's money by saying "I giving them an oppertunity, it's not my fault if they don't make it." Yes is is, don't kid yourself. If you hadn't talked them into it, they would still have that 2 grand, thier self dignity and their spouse wouldn't be pissed at them for blowing this years vacation money.

There are so many more ways, better ways, of making money than in MLMs. If life hasn't presented you the right vehicle to do it, look into the mirror and ask yourself if you have any skills worth offering this world. If the answer is no, don't settle for a MLM, go back to school and get an edcation. It is easier, more rewarding and far less humiliating than begging grandma to shop online...

Is there money to be made, yes; but again, at what cost.

I do understand doing your homework. However, Mary kay, Pampered Chef, and so on like them... do NOT ask for such a LARGE chunk of change to BE ABLE to sell it. You do have to invest SOME money. GETTING OTHERS TO SIGN UP out ways the SAVINGS when they do. That is the WHOLE focus of Team National, not really so much the savings. THat's just the shoe in they use to get YOU TO SIGN UP>>>duh! Yes you can save money, BUT To really MAKE a return like the millionaires are saying....you have to have a huge DOWNLINE, (that levels and levels of people under YOU. For YOU to make MONEY..If they don't work, you don't get Money???? LEVELS OF PEOPLE oh like MULTI level(meaning more than one...built to look like a Pyramid???? HUMMMMM...call yourself what you like..A DUCK IS STILL A DUCK....your just a STUCK DUCK.
Convenient stores make alot of money off of certain products....You might pay 89 cents for a can of something at walmart...but there you might pay 2.50....just because they can.....
so....since you have BOUGHT THE song and dance, nOW you HAVE TO BUY TO EARN THE MONEY BACK IN SAVINGS>>>> I don't have that kind of money to wait on getting a return...I would not give them $2,000 even if I did have it...

For those of your ignorant people out there on the internet. Before you decide to write a horrible post about a legitimate business do your homework. Most of you people don't even really know how much Team National Cost to get involved. First of all it's a "REAL" business opportunity and like anything in life, you actually have to work at it to make something of it. There is no way you could lose money with Team National as long as you use it. We've been in the business since August of 2008 and we have actually made money and saved money all on a very, very part time basis. People are so caught up in the "MLM" thing, but is Pampered Chef a scam? How about Arbonne, Mary Kay, CABI? Those are all legitimate business who are apart of the DSA. Become educated before you decide to make an ignorant post about something you obviously no nothing about........The people that post positive things about Team National know what they are talking about. If your not willing to work hard and change your life, then Team National is not for you. Go ahead and be lazy and negative all on your own, but don't make a wonderful opportunity like Team National a bad thing for someone else.......

How many people have used direct buy? Direct Buy costs more & you get less for a less amount of time. My family signed up and we didn't have to pay for our membership. We love Team National. The savings are great. Black Friday shopping was a breeze online, & I got commission back without fighting crowds. I've compared prices from our local furniture stores for a dining room set that includes, table, 6 chairs, and a china cabinet to Team National. Total savings are going to be over $1000.00 for the same set. I haven't sold anything yet, but I am still excited about the savings. I also get discounts at many different local merchants that are Team National that are members of the Team National business exchange. I now get a discount at the florist I've always used. We get discounts for the banners for our business. This is not a scam, and it's not for stupid people who can't do anything else. There is no bottom level. My mom & step-dad have been in it for less than 6 months & have already received a check for 1500.00. Last month was the first month they may have worked a couple of hours a week on Team National. Summer and fall was too hectic to work it since we sell commercial lawn equipment.

I have been a member of Team National for about one month and couldn't be more thrilled.  We only had to take time to search and learn how to use the online shopping and now it is very easy.  We have already saved quite a bit of money and project more as we shop for insurance and so on.  We purchased the $2100.00 package to share with our 3 married children as a Christmas present.  After they saw the business presentation they couldn't stop talking about it and are thrilled to save money also.  We can only see good things happening for all of us.

With all due respect to those that do not think the National Companies is for them...you really need to stop, think, and be open minded. Sure you can go to bread crumbs or whatever that sight is and get "deals" on line, but do you get the commission? I was just on that sight and what it takes people a year or longer to earn with them you can do in two weeks with TN. Also, those of you that still believe this is a "pyramid scheme", probably are the ones that didn't pay attention in class very well. Refer back to what the DSA is and what it's job is. Also, refer back to the compensation plan. This time, pay attention

Anyone can put anything they want on the internet...its a fact of life. However, get the facts straight before you blast something. The video never said it was going to make you money over night while you sit at home on your rear and do nothing. Yes, you have to talk to people. I believe the gentleman that presented the compensation plan states.."You get paid, what your worth".

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you have to invite people to your Home Interiors, Tupperware, Amway, Jewlery,etc.,party? Aren't you trying to sell something? TN isn't selling anything other than an opportunity for a better way of life. Even if I would have never made a dime with TN...I would still be ahead of the game thanks in large part to the benefits. Think about it...even if it takes you 4 years to save enough money to equal what you paid for your membership, that is a 25% return on your investment. Anything after that is gravy. What else gives you that? The stock market? Savings account?

TN is not for everyone. But for everybody else, we will continue to enjoy Team National long after "other" businesses have passed, and while you "negotiate" for your best deal.

Thanks for listening...

Team National is all it claims and MORE!
Three things can happen when you join..
1. Save money
2. Make money
3. Both
I am a business owner and saved more than the $2,195.00 lifetime cost in a few months.
Saved over 25% on Credit Card fees savings alone.
Printer ink, furniture and jewelry...WOW !
If you buy anything it is a DEAL !
LOVE TEAM NATIONAL.............

I am proud to say that I am a satisfied member of Team National.The savings are REAL! I've saved money on eyeglasses, airplane tickets, cell phones, hotel rooms, my long distance, and my list of savings is continuing to grow. The earning side of Team National is AWESOME!!! I had never had someone ask me "How can I help you make some money" until I joined. And along with making money, I've also made lots of new FRIENDS.
I have not had the chance to read them all, but of the negative comments I've seen about Team National I am seeing a pattern. There's the negativity...then there is a "Click here to see how I make money". Team National has the most lucrative compensation plan that I have ever looked at.(And I've looked at several)
I feel perfectly comfortable sharing Team National with my family, friends, and even the occaisional someone I just met. I find it rewarding to help other people by telling them about a good thing.And I'm proud to be part of a company that does not feel a need to attack and/or belittle another company to make themselves look appealing enough for people to want to be a part of.
Two facts to keep in mind are...#1-The worst thing that will happen to you with Team National is you WILL save lots of money...and#2-Tha average millionaire makes somewhere around $135,000 a year, while there are those in Team National making more than that.
If someone asks you to take a look at Team National, do yourself the favor of taking a look. THAT is the best way to find the answers to your questions!!

Obviously, as with any other company, Team National is NOT for everyone. My husband and I purchased a lifetime package 2 yrs. ago. In our first year, we saved over $8,000 and made over $50,000 by marketing the business. TN does not encourage people to market benefit packages. That is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. Also, in regards to those who have said they are trying to get a refund, the contract states plainly that you have 3 business days to cancel your agreement. (This keeps people from trying to "beat the system" by buying a benefit pkg, making a large purchase for the discount, and then getting a refund on the pkg. price) If you don't use your benefits, of course, you cannot say that you have saved money. Just because I have coupons for goods at the local grocery store doesn't mean I am automatically going to have groceries delivered at a discount. I have to use the coupons. Also, the description in the original post here is not correct with the price of the benefit packages. It is kind of hard for me to understand how someone can prove something as not legitimate when you don't even have the basic facts about the business correct for yourself. By the way.... we are not in our 23rd month with TN. My husband has recently retired from his 20 yr. career and I have retired from my 20 yr. Registered Nurse career. We are 35 and 38 yrs. old. Not a bad way to retire!!!! Team National is AWESOME!!!!

please stay away from this company. these people are ruthless and cold hearted. it's a total scam. i was even approached at my mother's funeral, YES!!! my mother's funeral by a member telling me that the sapphire/diamond necklace i was wearing at my mother's funeral probably costed me more than what i could of gotten it for through their scam of a company. again these people have no class and will hound you even at your mother's funeral. it's a total scam... if you feel good about stealing other's money so you can make a quick buck, then this is for you. but for the rest of us who have succeeded the old fashion way and worked hard for what we have, we hold our heads high knowing we've earned our success by hard work, not scamming others and trying to sell your crap at a funeral.

I'm a very satisfied customer with Team National.
This is not for the lazy at heart. If you want to better your life, this is the company that can do it. I've saved thousands and made thousands. I actually hosted a friend,and she hosted friends who in turn we helped them save $50,000 on one purcahse alone on a motorhome. They got their best price, came to us and were able to get the same one they test drove and got another $50,000 knocked off the price just because they were members. Do you think they were happy they spend $795 to save $50,000? Even if they never use the package again, wasn't it a good investment? And we do this as a team. Don't sign up and go out on your own. Please have your host help you. If not your host, pass them up and ask your host's host to help you. It's a team effort!!!!!

The only people that make money at these scams are the people that start them. You must work and produce to make money. I can not believe so many of you folks fell for this. These scams have been going around for years. I remember similar scams going back 40 years. A friend tried to sell me on this scam today. I knew it was a scam before we got one minute into it. I would guess most people selling this scam are not successful at anything and are looking to be. I GIVE 108 DOLLARS PER WEEK TO GOD AND HIS WORK. THIS IS WHAT GOD COMMANDS IN THE BIBLE: TEN PERCENT, YES TEN PERCENT.

I recently got involved in Team National. I have only been in for a few months. I believe you can save money if you use the benefit package. You need to go on the site and look at all the benefits. Some people don't have a clue how much is offered with the benefit package. Be sure to look at all the site you can save on.

My husband and I had a fight last night after my in laws respectfully showed us the dvd about the program...I felt trapped. They did buy the package that includes family, so we dont have to pay, but, we are expected to buy stuff online now, and to go to meetings, and share this business gospel to others. I have a feeling we will be loosing lots of friends, and not talking much to our families anymore. I cant hardly afford groceries, much less buy high ticket items to bring any kind of return.... I cant see saving much money buy toliet paper and paper towels and toothpaste....

I have been a member of Team National for 2 1/2 years and am a COMPLETELY satisfied customer. My first year I saved well $1,900 on my son's car insurance (my LIFETIME package cost me $2195 and covers all my grown children and grandchildren. I have saved about $10,000 in the past 2 years. My daughter saved about $4500 on bedroom furniture. I have also made money in addition to saving money. THis is the best program I have ever seen and I have looked at a lot of home based businesses and it is the only one I have ever made any money at or saved any money. You only buy things that you want and there is no inventory required or monthly quota. I do enjoy the checks I receive in the mail.

Lynne in SD, you can check out your commission savings. You go to your website and sign in and look at your geneology it will list each check and what commissions are included in it. As for savings, the real savings are in the direct benefits, the furniture, vehicles, extended warranties, homes, jewelry, etc. where you are going to save the bulk of your money. The commissions from the BigN Marketplace is just another perk. My husband and I have saved over 4,000 dollars with Team National with furniture and jewelry purchases. We got in under my husbands parents premium package. If you purchased a premium package you should be looking at the bigger picture of who this can benefit. Not just you, but also your family, Forever. Hope you eventually see the potential in Team National and start using the benefits package that you paid for.

i got involved with the national companies / team national about a year ago mainly for the savings. i really didnt have any intention of marketing the membership but when we started saving money i took a closer look at the comp plan. we have saved close to $3000.00 the first year and in only a few short months of telling business associates and friends i have already received, and cashed, almost $2000.00 in income. now you dont have to be a mathmatician to see a return of $5000.00 on a $2200.00 investment. now this is just my household. this membership i purchased also gives access to my wifes parents, my parents, both mine and my spouses grand parents, my children when they become adults and my grand children when they are born and also become adults, for life of all. now to me this is a considerable value for many lifetimes. the other significant benefit is i am a officer at a bank and not self employed. that is until i purchased my own turn key home based business, otherwise known as team national, and now i am afforded all the tax write off's for my legitimate self employment like mileage, cell phone, internet, entertainment, company trips to places like orlando, etc, etc, etc. these things will significantly lower your taxable income.

in closing is all i have to say is look at it with an open mind, this is defintely not for everyone. if you do not see anything for you, i promise the person will not have a problem moving on to show it to someone else.

team national does everything it says it will -- i have saved money and made some-- not near what i would like-- but i havent put the effort into that i should. they didnt promise me an income only the opportunity to earn money- the operative word is "earn." no work=no pay. it is not for everyone and thats ok--- it would cost me money not to belong and take advantage of the savings--

Great company, Great people, Great benifits that keep getting better and better and more and more, Great money. I,ve saved and made more than the cost of a Premium package in the first year. If my information about me being a member got lost, deleted or destroyed, some how wiped out. I would join again and pay the full price. It's that good folks. This may or may not be for you. But if your looking, there is none better.

My wife and I were shown a dvd presentation about Team National five months ago. I saw it as an opportunity to reduce debt and went ahead and paid the $2195 for the premium package and a lifetime membership. I also liked the opportunity to share the opportunity with others and little did I realize that I would face myriad objections to it from family and friends. It's a pyramid! I can't afford it. It's intriguing but not for me. No, no, no and whoa a yes.
When I started sharing about it, I tried to explain the whole deal and didn't get anywhere. Having people see what you might see is not easy but if you have belief in what it is you are committed to then there is the possibility to have others see the same future.
In our country, we are losing our freedoms everyday and the recent collapse of our financial system is enough to question everything we have ever trusted. Our bankers have become gamblers under our very noses. We all enjoyed the real estate fantasy for years before the bubble burst. We now have our fellow Americans running for cover, blaming others, looking for the government to help and experiencing the decay of our society. Our society has been decaying for quite sometime and it isn't pretty. We have gotten away from core values that helped lead our forefathers to take a shot at freedom at great cost. They had more of a personal relationship with their faith in God and created a country around that belief. We have evolved into selfish, whiny, irresponsible and entitlement minded human beings. We want a quick fix and we want to consume things we can't afford except by building more and more debt. The American dream has become a nightmare.
Part of the dream was to own your own home. Actually, the American dream was to be free to do the things that would allow you to own your own home. Work, save, hope, love and more four letter words than I can share, were at the core of our values. These words are no longer truly living in our personal worlds. We are critical, defensive, willing to make others wrong to make ourselves right and what chance do we have a society if we can't make our marriages work. The divorce rate reflects poorly on our ability to get along.
Why am I off on this tangent when I started by discussing Team National? Well, since joining a lot has been going on in my life and in this country and Team National has become a beacon for me to make my way through the darkness. Yes, we are living in an era of a deficit of the light of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Our institutions are falling apart and no one has a clue as to what to do. The individuals I have met through Team National are becoming more precious to me everyday. It's not about saving money or earning money but it's about understanding what to do with the money we are entrusted with. I can only invest in myself right now. Actually, the education I have gotten about myself and others through the resources that Team National offers to its members and independent marketing directors, has been worth the money I put down in early May. National Companies is the corporate entity that is the heart of the business and they can't give money away fast enough with those that are successful in living their dreams. I am learning that the more I give of myself to this "business" the more I get in return. It is obvious to me that National Companies gives money back to its members at an unprecedented rate and low and behold they company has it come back four-fold. Give and you shall receive. Help others get what they want and, guess what, we get what we want.
Have I saved money, yes. Have I made significant money yet, no. Has my experience with Team National, other team members and the leaders of the company been valuable, it's been priceless. I watch all the cable news channels and see futility in the eyes of the faces of the analysts and reporters. I listen to candidates trying to come up with one fix or another. I am comfortable with my station in life right now belonging to an organization that is perfectly positioned to take me through the chaos and giving me the tools to be responsible for my life and circumstances. I went to a recent national event with Team National and the theme was honor, integrity and leadership. These were not some empty words but a path to freedom, family and community.

I am a member with this company it didn't take long to figure out the black print and how it worked. I have been in it for less than a year. I have really found the company pays well!! I say if you want to start up a network marketing business, TN is the one to get involved with. Where else can you have a home business and no overhead? $2195 for a business is nothing! This company has made a huge diff. in my life and others. So who cares if I bugged a few people took take a look. I don't waste any more time on people who are not interested.I move on to others who actually can see the good in it and it pays well for doing so! Plus the network of friends is more than worth the money spent. So what's to lose unless you don't work it or reap the savings?! People really need to see for themselves and don't worry about what others think. Negativity doesn't pay the bills! Hard work eventually pays off in the end. Keep in mind if you are sloppy with your looks and have a poor attitude people will not buy from you. So no it's not for everyone. Treat it as a big business and it will do well for you. No doubt! With a poor economy everyone is looking for ways to save money along with the flexibility to work for some extra cash. We love it!

I too was duped into believing TN would save me money in my business and on personal expenditures. The phone, credit card and business savings were non-savings; I could find better deals locally through a real person who was interested in me and my business. As far as the "commissions", you have to buy a lot of stuff on the Internet to get a check. The "commissions" are a mysterious entity, and even after I purchased things through the various companies via the BigN website, there was no place to go to find out how much in commissions I earned. There are also fees and rules about when they will pay those out. The fees probably eat up any commission earned, unless you're a huge Internet spender. You can find most deals yourself by using the Internet. My husband got access to a free Internet savings site at most of the stores BigN has plus vacation destinations that save us much more than TN did, plus they also pay commissions and it's free! As far as sponsoring anyone -- hard to do when you don't see any great savings yourself. Why haul someone else into it. I have a conscience.

What a waste of money, especially if you are in a remote area. Big name companies like Home Depot won't ship to you, so you lose on that end. Can't get phone deal, DHL doesn't work am having a terrible time getting my money back from them. You can easily go on insurance4us and get the same deal without spending 2k to do it. And if by some chance they don't lose your commisions it still won't get you back what you invested. Also the big lie about using it for a tax write off is a joke, if you deduct without showing a profit you send up a huge red flag to the irs, who wants to do that. I would not sell team national to anyone because I want to be able to sleep at night an look myself in the mirror.

I was VERY SKEPTICAL when I first took a look at Team National. We are very well known Entertainers in South Fl and guard our reputation like Gold! When we saw this Company and met the CEO and President, we knew it was like nothing we ever looked at before. They take a product and mark it down because of how many members so it makes sense to us. We now have saved over 40K just using and buying products and services that we were already using. I wasn't required to tell anyone....but I did! (part-time) When I was diagnosed with cancer and needed surgery right away, the income from this company allowed me to pay my bills, fly my daughter down from NC and let my husband take off from work for a month. It's been such a blessing and I love the positive people that I have met that are now life-time friends. I highly recommend Team National!

My experience from other product-driven companies left a sour taste in my mouth (and broke). So when I was first shown Team National, I was very, very skeptical. I did a lot of research before making the decision to join and I haven't regretted it since! I am finally making money and saving bunches! Just saved $1900 on vehicle through Team National's vehicle program. The concept behind Team National is to save you money on things you are already buying or will need to buy in the future. This is not a product-driven company! The members who join Team National are privilege to the savings of group-buying. If you decide to share this with others, which is completely optional -- what a great way to bring in a secondary income and in today's economy who couldn't use some spare cash!

Go Team National!

It's funny the people that comment on this thing and have absolutely NO idea how this system works or how great it can be for you and your family. We signed up for the $2195.00 and immediately went to our local insurance agent that was a Team National member and he saved us over $4,000.00 in savings for just our company alone. My dad swapped his homeowners insurance, car insurance and life insurance and saved an additional $3,000.00. You would have to be an absolute FOOL not to get this program. Do you like furniture? Try buying a $7,000 bedroom suit from Rooms to Go for less than 2 grand. I bought imported Italian leather furniture 5 years ago (love seat, chair and ottoman) for $3800. In team national a set of the same quality is for sale for less than half that! When building a new house is where you can save serious dough. A TN Platinum leader built a house and bought all new furniture for the entire house. Total MSRP of over $40,000...she paid $15,000 for EVERYTHING! Buy it through TN and save thousands! So ask yourself, do you have to have insurance? do you need a car? do you buy medication? do you buy toilet paper, deodorant, shampoo, tooth paste...unless you are a caveman/woman you will need all these things and guess what. With TN, go to drugstore.com and buy all these things and get whatever you need regularly set up on autoship and get it every month, I don't even need to tell you what goes into cars that you no longer have to buy so much of do I to get to the stores to buy all these things do I? Not only will you get discounts but you will get paid a 13% commission for whatever you buy. No you didn't read that wrong, you DO get paid commissions of up to 30% depending on store's choice of what they are going to pay. My first purchase at drugstore.com I spent $86.00 (&change) regular price for everything plus not including the commission I got back it was $135.00 worth of stuff.

When people talk about "nagging" and "suckering" family into this, I think it's the other way around, if you DON'T tell you family about this you are one very selfish person. OH by the way, when you buy this package, parents, grandparents, children and grandchildren sign up for free!!! Not a bad deal huh? That's right! I paid absolutely nothing. In fact in our downline we have about 12 people that didn't pay ANYTHING! So stop complaining and accusing every direct sales company out there of being "PYRAMID" or "MLM". Because this company is neither. A pyramid scheme deals with people getting paid to recruit people, no products, savings anything involved. An "MLM" typically only pays 4 to 5 levels deep. Meaning anybody that you sign up that goes BEYOND your 4th or 5th level YOU GET PAID NOTHING!!! (AMWAY pays this way - Plus you have to meet quotas with AMWAY) With TN you work it as fast or as slow as you want. You get points for every package sold in your downline. My grandfather got is first $1,500.00 progression check (sold 8 packages) in 3 weeks. The leader in our upline (3 people above me)has been doing this for 5 years and makes $1.5 million + per year. His first month he made $9,000.00 and has never made less than that IN ONE WEEK since then! His typical WEEKLY checks are $20,000 + EVERY WEEK. And guess what!! HE HAS NOT SIGNED UP ONE SINGLE PERSON IN 3 YEARS!!! He gets points off every package that is sold in his downline so he does not have to sell them anymore. He travels the country helping people in his downline. So you see, people in your upline WILL care about how good you do, because every package you sell you get 3 points, and every single solitary person above you gets 3 points as well, all the way to the top. Get 10 points on your left line and 10 points on you right line and you get paid $1,500 including a $1,000 hosting bonus if you personally hosted the people that get the same 10 and 10. This can happen weekly. Don't think you are too young to do this. Ryan Chamberlain, one of the top leaders in this business started when he was 24 years old and retired from a great paying bank job after just a few months of this. He makes more money per year than the millionaire in my upline.

One more thing and I'll let you go, (for those of you that are not snoozing away by now - sorry I type fast) Do NOT let people tell you that you have to spend thousands every year to be qualified for bonus's or commissions for products you've bought. If you buy one (1) single pack of gum, YOU ARE QUALIFIED! Spend .50 cents and get qualified. Anybody that bad mouths this company does NOT do this business, are only looking from the outside in and not speaking the truth, or are just the typical broke skeptics out there that kill themselves working for "the man" day in and day out till the day they die because they want to be a "hard worker". The don't want to go about things the "easIER" way. Guess what, I'm not one of those people, if I can put HALF as much effort into my team national business and make just as much as I am making now (less than $40 grand per year) I'd be very happy with that. So if you have been approached by a rep, listen to what they have to say, they are only trying to help you better your life, because let's face it, if you're the average adult this day in age, if you don't have $2,195 that you can spare on this thing, then you didn't do something right in the past! Sign up and achieve success. Like the late Dick Leour, founder of Team National, says "Go for success and the money will chase you down".

I was a multiple business owner, making a large income, working 16 - 18 hours a day. I have been on board with Team National for over seven years and I have saved a ton of money on products and services I was going to buy anyhow. Saved over $30,000 on my best deals with local dealerships on vehicles. Bought an "06 loaded / W leather, DTS Deville in Oct. of "06 and paid only $28,000 and it was $46,800 MSPR.Oh, did I mention, it was shipped from New Orleans to my door free of charge. You just can't beat that!!! We saved almost $500.00 on eye glasses. This company is real and it has changed our lives in a very positive way. No one in Team National would promise anything to anyone. However, it is like anything else in life, you get out of life, what you put into it. That is the only claim I have ever heard. So these folks with negative comments are three things, bitter, lazy, and looking for something for nothing. We have missed very few weeks getting paid far above the national level income for sharing this. Our checks have commas in them. It's a no brainer for those uf us that are not looking for a handout! Team National is a company full of integrity and makes no excuses for love of God, Country and respect for our fellowman. No business opportunity exixts in the USA like this. The whole concept is making and saving on products and services we already pay for at inflated prices if we buy from the retailer. There is absolutly no down side to this business. I love it!

From what I've read on here the people that have bad things to say are just rambling on and on with no basis to what their saying.

Huge SCAM!
Look out they think New England is now Open Season!

I got roped into a "business opportunity" meeting/get together through a friend. Went only to find these Team National Brainwashed Dopes on the phone with a guy from who knows where, telling us all of the wonderful life on the beaches of the world. What a crock of hooey!!! (Actually, it was so apparent, that if you do sign up, then it is your own fault for being so stupid :)

When I didn't show any interest in the paperwork they hand you expecting payment...or like a mandatory spelling test in 4th grade, I saw the lead person getting madder and madder then spealing off to her cohorts *OMG how could people be so ignorant not to take advantage of this opportunity???*

It was so funny, then she went and got her mother on the phone *another brainwashed Stepford Wife* telling of the wonderful life Team National brings and how she will be putting her grandchildren through college. What a JOKE!!!!
*Most say they cant even use the discounts in this area and that other discounts for FREE are that are available elsewhere, with no cost to the consumer.
Think on it...$2400 vs $0 ~ Its a SCAM!!!!

Let them all buy poultry seasoning...that's about all they will ever really successfully buy/sell from this so called company, and who really makes any money on any of that???

Team National is a bunch of Bull...listen and learn. But if you like the hype, then join...I cant wait to hear of your wonderful experiences and incredible money making offers/opportunities to your friends and relives that you suck into the BS-Vacuum!!!

So Sad!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing that attracted me to TN was the saving money aspect. I'm not an accountant but I'm smart enough to know that if I go to my job an earn a dollar I don't bring that whole dollar home. However, if I save a dollar I save that whole dollar. I've saved and made far more money than what it cost me. So now every dime I save and every dime I make with TN is money that I would not have had otherwise.

Simply put . . . I own a benefits package that I am extremely happy with. I use it and I believe it can help anyone save money and, if one chooses, make money with the optional earnings side. The benefits package I purchased will never cost me another dime as long as I live if I use it. Why wouldn't I use it? I'm putting money back in my pocket from many of the same places I was already spending it before TN.

This isn't for everyone and it quite possibly isn't for you but only you can make that decision. But please do yourself and your family a favor - get all the facts and get all your questions answered before you pass on TN.

Bottom line . . . If you can't see how you could save or make more than it will cost you with all the benefits an opportunity TN has to offer then please keep your money and leave TN alone. Because Team National specializes in saving its' members money. It would be foolish to spend your hard pay check on a benefits package you don't intend to use. Again, TN is not for everyone but everyone deserves the right to get the right information about TN and find out whether or not it could be right for them. You and your family deserve the right to at least look at a way to save money. Especially in this days economy.

Use a little common sense folks. Would this many Fortune 500 companies be involved if Team National was a rip off or a scam? I don't think Wells Fargo, Home Depot or the countless other companies would even consider risking their reputations if it wasn't for real. These companies didn't get as big as they are by making stupid bussiness decisions. Just take a minute and really stop and think about it.I'm just a dumb old hillbilly and I'm smart enough to figure that one out.

I'm very sorry I signed up - wasted $2195. It sounded really good at first. Then I was introduced to "bigcrumbs". If you want to get discounts on the things you are already using check out bigcrumbs. (I get no benefit from telling you this - just peace of mind that maybe someone else won't get suckered into it). They also give you commissions back on the things you buy and most are the same as Team National or just a small percentage less.

Don't allow yourself to get pressured into "getting your spot".

Check out the "discounts" on the benefits side. Look at Alltel wireless - you can get the same prices if you go directly to the Alltel website or a storefront. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you you do get a flat $50 (commission ???)for signing up with Alltel through the benefits side. Or so I was told - I couldn't find it. Oh and wasn't I told there were "deep discounts" on the benefits side and "commissions" on the bigN side? WRONG!!!!

Sure I sound bitter, but I was just flat lied to. Could have used that $2195 for something much better.

Read the money back guarantee - you have 3 days to decide you don't want to do this thing.

I only hope that anyone thinking about signing up will read this first and 'DO YOUR RESEARCH" before signing up.

I was approached yesterday by a Team National under the pretense that she was interested in my direct selling business and products. I made it very clear up front with her that I was not interested in doing anything else and very happy with my own home based business - which by the way has supported me and my family for many years very comfortably! I listened to her presentation anyway to be polite and even still after hearing from her many negative things and indirect put downs about my own busines I politely took the info. she gave me and looked it over anyway. Look folks, any business plan that you can't find the facts about, how much you need to invest and how much work is involved in their so called recruting info. should be a sign that you need to run the other way as fast as you can. There is no such thing as not working for anything and becoming successful without any effort! Not all direct selling companies are for everyone either. I'm sure there are many who have become very successful in TN as with many other of these types of companies - but, make sure you check out the number of successes as compared to the number of failures before you jump in. TN might also want to consider more training opportunities for their members so that so many potential recruits arent offended by old negative recruiting type practices. I do a lot of networking with direct selling and small businesse but this is not one I'd refer. This experience has certainly not giveing me a good opinion of this company and practices.

Free housing, free college ( and they even pay you to go to college!), free health insurance, save up to 40% at the commissary with no sales taxes. Save 30-50% through the military through outside vendors through AAFES and still pay no sales tax or shipping!ANd all of this info cost you......NOTHING! Team National is a rippoff!

I have been with TN a month. My parents bought the lifetime benefit package for $2195, with that package all their children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents and 5 employees (if you own a business)are included to take advantage of the savings for free. Therefore, I didn't have to pay. I got in for free! They are saving $200 on car ins. I am saving $175 on medical ins. TN found the companies for us. We didn't have to do any leg work. Tell me that isn't a good deal. Add that up over a year and that's $4500 savings!! That right there covers the price of the package twice.
There are many different areas of savings. You have to put out a little effort to see which ones you will use and how much you will save. For example, the long distance for 3.9 cents a minute rounding up at 6 second increments not up to the next minute like all other long distance, life, medical and dental ins companies they find for you, custom made furniture, home furnishings, outdoor furniture, office and school furniture and flooring for 70% less than regular price. Eye care, hearing aids, motorcycles and atv's and parts, auto mall(already negotiated pricing, most new vehicles 1% below dealer cost!), high quality jewely that's 1/2 the regular price, 20% off log homes, prepaid overnight envelopes, website hosting, TN nutritional and skin care line, car care, travel services, and real estate,just to name of few of the areas of savings. There are very reputable companies involved with TN such as Wells Fargo, Amish Mills Log Homes, Budget Car Rental, The Leather Mall, Goodyear,etc.
Team National is one of less than 200 members of the Direct Selling Association. You have to abide with a very strict code of ethics, standards and procedures to be a member of the DSA. They are a member of the Better Business Bureau in South East Florida and a member of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. They are a debt free multimillion dollar company that has been in business for 11 yrs. They negotiate sale prices for their customers so you don't have to.
The only thing I purchased was a website that they totally maintain for $75. With my website, I can go in to over 100 store sites and buy whatever I want. Many of the stores have free shipping and no tax. We have saved alot of money this way. These stores don't have negotiated prices with TN but they have a percentage that you get back when you shop with them ranging from 3 to 30%. The stores range from Auto Parts Warehouse, ToysR-Us, Target, Northern Tools, Macy's, Borders.com, Drugstore.com, Cabela's, Home Depot, Best Buy, Circuit City, Disney, Kohl's, Lands End, Nascar Superstore, Office Depot, Overstock.com, Petco, Famous Footwear, eBay, and on and on. I am getting paid for buying things that I was buying anyway by using my website!!
We haven't even tapped into the option of sharing the benefit package with other people and getting paid for that!!
Team National is a company worth looking into for many reasons, one being there is no way you can't save money and lots of it!!!

Isn't it funny that no one has their facts right when taking shots at a Large Successful Direct Marketing company like Team National... such as using terms like "pyramid scheme". A pyramid scheme is a company that would promise a payment under certain terms and then does not pay. Team National has been in business for 11 years and has probably at this point made more millionaires than any other Direct Marketing company. In addition TM is a member if the prestigous DSA (Direct Selling Association), the BBB, The US Chamber of Commerce, is D&B listed... and not to mention is DEBT free with over $175 million is sales last year... over 1 Million benefit package customers nationwide... the benefits packages have never gone up in price since the beginning 11 years ago... yet the benefits have consistantly increased over the years. Oh, and by the way the savings are real across the board... including the auto pricing/savings benefit that was devalued in a previous comment. Truly some shoppers can negotiate a good car deal on their own, but this offering (One of many areas of savings) saves you time and any frustration sometimes very common in auto shopping... with no haggle - up front pricing). I know just a little about auto sales because I spent a few years in the auto business! Finally, in response to that same person who was taking cheap and inaccurate shots at TM to sell his own thing... Sir you still didn't address the many other areas of benefit that TM offers... many with much more dramatic savings than on autos!!!

I thought it might be a pyramid scheme, too, but quickly eliminated that as a possibility because the company's survival doesn't depend upon recruiting more and more people at an ever faster pace to maintain solvency.

The PREMIUM/BUSINESS benefits plan IS a lifetime package, (and it says so explicitly in the DVD and the contract) IF you make use of the membership within TWO YEARS. Whether you sign up for a long distance plan, buy some furniture, sign people up, and other qualifying things, it will renew!

Do you have to get off your arse and show it to others if you want to MAKE MONEY with it? YES. Do you have to sell ANYTHING? No. Can you buy into it as a strait forward buyer's club? YES.

You can complain all you like about how you got "ripped off", but it's nobodies fault except your own if you wrote the check and then didn't do anything with it. Kinda like a Costco membership. It don't do anything for you if you don't use it. I don't see anyone complaining about Costco being a rip off.

I bought into this company years ago at a minimum level. Over the years I have seen much money made by the upline and many people saddened who didn't understand the concept. This program will make you money and save you money if you use it properly. It has the potential to be a vehicle that will make you rich or tick you off. It is all up to you. I chose NOT to work it. Other relatives did and made fantastic returns. Don't bad mouth it if your not willing to spend the time to make it work for you. Most recently the program has added some of the best benefits it has ever had and I am actually considering joining up again if you can believe that. At 60 years of age maybe I am starting my dementia period but it might also be experience and learning from my mistakes.

We became a member of TN and paid the 2100 up front and have signed up several sale people one day we could not get on the web site. I called and they told us we were expired and were no longer a member. When at the beginning I was told this was a life time membership. It sure has not lasted my life time.
Haggle your our discounts and save the 2100. I will make sure all knows about this incident and fraud.

I have looked at several Network Marketing companies over the years. Team National is the best Network Marketing opportunity in the industry because of the savings opportunity and the income opportunity. If you notice, the people giving it compliments are successful business people. The people criticizing it have no clue as to what it takes to create or run a successful business. So rather than admit they are failures, they resort to blaming TN for their failures. I am new to TN but have already saved $800.00 on a memory foam mattress. That is almost half of what it took to join TN and I still have the rest of my life to save, save, save... TN is a wonderful company to those that are intelligent enough to see the value in it.

In my mind, Team National is neither MLM nor a pyramid, in that the people in the upline gain nothing unless their team member makes money. And then, the person who does the work always makes more than the upline. Not so of MLM, pryamids, or General Motors. I have been a member for 9 moths and have saved over $2200 and have not bought 1 automobile or 1 stick of furniture. You need to use the benefits for them to be beneficial. You also need to work the system to be sucessful. If you think you can just pay the membership fee and get rich, you might as well continue playing your state lottery. How's that working out for you?
The negative people who make negative comments about this great company will continue to be negative no matter what, and because of their negativity will never be truly sucessful in anything.
You can say I'm brainwashed if you like, but I'm making a positive difference in my life and in the lives of others. If this concept bothers you, stay away from Team National and continue in your misery!!!

I was a Team national Member for 6 months. TN is what it is, A membership program that allows you to save money on MANY different items most people buy everyday. If you are looking at the plan and want to see if it will work for you, buy the standard package for about $800, YOu can pay this over 2 years. USe the benefits, if it doesnt save you money, cancel it. If you find you enjoy the savings upgrade to the premium package.
If you are in Autosales, or in Furniture sales you wont use those benifit. If you dont shop on-line you wont save either. TN is not a scam, but it is MLM, So you have to share it with others to make an income, Period. Save and/or Make Money, its up to you.
For the Record, I plan to sign back up for the premium package once my family and I get back on our feet.

I would just like everyone to remember... you earn what your worth... if you put time in you get results back... if you don't put time in you get nothing back. It has saved us a ton of money and I am very proud of what this company does and what they stand for. I have never hard sold anyone and... It may or may not be for you... you decide. People that blame other for where they are at will always be where they are at NO WHERE. Work on personal development and it will lead you to new placed, put yourself around positive people and you will become like them, work with a great company that has wonderful benefits and save money. You can't lose...unless you want too.

So who can tell me what a pyramid scheme is? Someone at the top who gets paid the most and than 2 people under him that get paid a little bit less and so on!! WOW.....that sounds a lot like the job your probably in right now you idiots!! The reason people get so mad with the company is they try and sell the benefits and hear no 2 times and quit....than all of a sudden its a scam because they couldnt sell it. First of all its not for everyone but keep up what your doing so you can work the same way for the rest of your life. I am doing what you wont today so i can do what you can't for the rest of my life!! :) HAVE A GREAT DAY

This is one large scam. Please stay away from these guys. My wife and I have been trying to sell this $2100 package to people all over Colorado for 4 years now. We've signed up over 15 people and have not made enough money to leave our full time jobs. We have seen a total of $1500 in the last 4 years. It's a scam, it only benefits the upper echelon of the company, not the worker bee. The savings is not good at all if you end up going to Wal-Mart in your local area. Big n L is where you shop from and I can tell you, you can always find a better deal else where. Stay clear of these guys.

Team National - Where should I start... Don't do it. It's a MLM - the people above you make the cash while you work your ass off. You need to get people under you (they must have a small brain or they will see right through this business), then they have to sign people up under them and then you can start getting paid from there work of selling a giant coupon book. The savings you get is not worth it. I have found better deals online then Big TN could ever do. If you want to get rich, this is the worst one to put your hard working money into. Stay away, they are like a cult, they will hound you till you sign. That's what happen to me. And for the BBB in Florida, it's a scam - read all the issues they have had with there employees - not happy people and they try to hide all the incidents that have troubled them in the past. Do your research and save others. I'm out over $8,000 trying to see where I can save with them, they truly suck. Manipulative liars!!!

I have been a Team National member for 14 months now. I was pressured into the organization by a co-worker of my wife. I was promised financial freedom, and huge savings from the things I will buy. THE TRUTH IS AFTER USING THE BENIFIT PACKAGE STEADY FOR 14 MONTHS MY WIFE AND I HAVE SAVED ONLY $400.00. At that rate it will take 6 years to make my $2,100 dollars I spent. I have also purchased a glass table from the factory direct TN. It was nothing but cheap crap made in China. At that time I realized It was a scam. For What I paid I could have got the same table at Value City or Target for the same price. I am greatful I have not wasted any more of my time with this pyramid scam. I have regrets to the 2 family members I have sold this to, I'm thankful I did not approach my friends with this. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE JOINING! 2,100 is hard to come by these days. BEWARE!!!!!!!!

The savings, discounts and returns are really worth the membership fee. The making money is a little more work, yes work. But it is alot of fun and enjoyable (the monies ;not bad either)

Can Anyone share if Team National really has group health insurance offered? Auto Insurance? Homeowners Insurance? And how good? Savings?

I have been a Team National member for 2 yrs. At first I was skeptical and did alot of research before becoming a member. I am thankful that I did!! In 2 yrs. I have SAVED over $12,000 on things from furniture, a new car, cut my home and auto insurance in half with increased coverage, and the list goes on...but even better-- In the last two years I have DOUBLED the salary that I used to make with a 14 yr. career with a Master's Degree in Nursing-- and I have only referred 16 people to the company in these 2 yrs. TN is a registered member of Dunn & Bradstreet, the DSA, the BBB of Southeast Florida, and the owner of the company is a board member with the United States chamber of Commerce....that's good enough for me!!

This is in response to the lady that asked why they don't let people try it for 60 days to "USE" the benefits. When you bought your last vehicle, did you drive it for 60 days for free before signing and buying? Absolutely not! "But if the "car" was so good, why wouldn't they?" People are joing this business all over the country, get with someone who can help you navigate through the benefits package and find out if it is right for you.

I have been a member of Team National for 10 months. This company has been, and done, everything they said they would for me. The savings package works. Why pay retail when you can pay less?? In some cases up to 70% less! I have introduced Team National to several of my friends and family members (13 of which signed on). I have already seen a 5 fold return on my investment and know there is a lot of money on the table with this company. I encourage everyone to take an "open minded" look at Team National.

If this program is sooo good, why is it that potential members aren't able to try it free for two months without any commitments attached.This way they can actually experience the "BENEFITS" of such program.

There's lots of ways to make money in this world but ask yourself, "Is it ethical?" When you want others to give you their money so you can be rich, it is both wrong and lazy! People are promoting this Team National in churches and families and that is wrong and unethical. Most people are not going to make very much money in this co. except through the recruitment of others and their money.

My husband and I have been proud members of Team National now for almost two years. We are active members, meaning we go to meetings and we share it with others and use the benefits regularly. We recently saved 2/3 of retail on beautiful furniture with the Factory Direct benefit. We can proudly say that we have over a dozen members of his family and mine involved with the National companies that have all seen similiar savings. This is the best company in the world to be with and anyone that doesn't like the company hasn't taken the time to look at all it has to offer. It isn't a MLM company because it has unlimited depth, not like all those other companies that go down a few levels and then cut off. It isn't product-driven, so you don't have to have any inventory. There are no monthly quotas. They pay seven different ways with a higher payout than any other direct marketing company in the United States. These aren't claims, these are facts. It's just too bad more people look at the facts, they could be enjoying the benefits and income by becoming a Team National Independent Marketing Director.

i too got in on the quick star and was not impressed with the program they provided...i was shown team national back in 2002 and was skeptical at first. since that time i have done all my research on this company and have watched my host grow with this company..she is the 35th millionaire in this company. my problem was i didnt hang onto her shirt tail long enough and i stepped out of the company for a few years. i since have relocatd my family ..contacted my friend and in the last year signed up 5 more people into this company. i do believe strongly in their values and ethics. i to have received my "comma" checks and have reaped the benefits and savings from the company. when i reach the millionaire status unlike any other company i can will my business to my children. i would recommend this business to anyone who has the desire to make a better life for themself and their family. thank you Becky

I had never b een even slightly tempted to join any MLM Co. because they all involved a product. When I was approached by an old acquiantance (not familly) of course I was skeptical. It just sounded to good to be true. After doing my do-diligence (not a google search) I discovered they had an impeccable record. I spent my $2195 and made ALL my money back in less than 45 days. $1800 was in my first "comma" check. After 22 months and many thousands in earnings and many thousands in savings I couldn't b e happier. I've found all the nay sayers just haven't tried the package nor have tried to work the business. It's the greatest money making tool I've eveer seen. In the year 2007 I cleared more money with TN than I did with $1.1 million worth of rental property. I absolutely love this company!!!

I also was very skeptical about TN when i was approched by a friend but told her I would look at it. I researched it a bit and found that it was indeed a good company. One of the things that impressed me the most was that they are members of DSA Direct selling association, and in ther code of ethics it states " Pyramid schemes are illegal and companies operating pyramids are not permitted to be members of the DSA" That said a lot to me. So I purchased the premium package 5 days ago. I have already earned $600. I am so exited to be apart of TN

I have seen many things in my life. I was shown all of the home business you can imagine and was very cautious about any of them. However I can say that If I believe in it then it is well worth it. My husband and I have been working it for only a couple of months and have made enough money to well and pay for it. I have looked at it for two years before I joined because of looking for a scam. I love it you don't have to by any products to see out of your house. You don't have to beg people. I have also saved a lot of money on all sorts of things. I work for a big company and get only a ten percent discount with this at the same company I recieve twenty five discount through this business. You can't beat it. I would encourage anyone to do this business. You may pay for a package however you can claim it on the section nine of your taxes to get you investment back. well worth it if I believe you should.

I joined Team National in July 2007 and I have already put hundreds of dollars back in my pocket on things I would have bought anyway. Team National has been in business 11 years and are members of the Better Business Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce of SE Florida, and they are registered members of Dunn and Bradstreet. I believe that speaks to the integrity of this company, which is family-owned and operated. Those of us who become members are treated like family. Team National is always adding new benefits and we never have to spend more money to use new benefits just because they were added after we became members. How many companies do you know that would keep giving their members more benefits when they don't have to do that? In addition, I can extend my benefits to my children and grandchildren, parents, grandparents, and 5 employees (if I had any). Again, what company do you know that allows you to extend your benefits to others for free?

Team National offers us ways to save significant amounts of money on cars, furniture, jewelry, communications, merchant accounts (for businesses), etc, and in March 2008, we'll be able to save money on closing costs when buying or selling homes! We have a website affiliate program where we can earn commission back on our purchases at stores we would normally shop from anyway. We also have a local Business Exchange where business owners, who are also Team National members, offer discounts to us. If I need a new heating or A/C system, carpeting, cabinets, piano tuning, etc, I just check the Business Exchange to see who will offer me a discount. The best part is, Team National never pushes me to buy anything I don't need or want, nor does anyone else. The only way to lose with Team National is to buy a benefits package and never use it... now why would anyone do that??? What's painful to me is when people aren't even open-minded enough to take a look at this plan. I don't have any shampoo in my garage! I am not selling any products. This is not like any other plan out there. My goal is to help others find what I've found... a way to get the things I need and still save money. One thing I've found out as a therapist, however, is that people have to want to make a change for themselves... you can't do it for them.

Sharing Team National's plan with others is an optional way to earn income, but it is not required and it's free to become an independent marketing director. I'll be honest, even if there were no compensation plan, I'd be hard-pressed to keep this plan to myself. I would never let someone I love spend money they didn't need to spend. Being able to earn money sharing this opportunity is a perk that I love, but I would do it for nothing just out of concern for others. I love Team National. I wish I would have found it 11 years ago, but I'm SO glad I have found it now. It is the best thing I've ever done for my family's long-term financial security. I hope everyone will take a look at Team National for themselves and see if this plan can help them.

I have been a Team National Member for approximately one year now. I purchased a premium package for 2,195.00. With this packagei was able to include my wife, my two children and their husbands along with my mom. At first I was very skeptical and though I had invested my money unwisely. However over the last year my family has saved on eye glasses and insurance and home furnishings to the tune of over 5,000.00 also I have received over 300.00 in commissions from stores that I would have done business with anyway. The National National Market Place includes stores like Bass Pro, Cabellas, Sears, Kmart, Famous Footwear Goody's, Macey's, and Old Navy just to name a few.

My opinion, skeptical at first, now happy. Oh I forgot to mention I do enjoy the checks I have gotten for sharing this concept. It is not easy as most people are afraid they won't get anything for their money but if they use the program recouperating your money is no problem.

Thanks

There is no better vehicle out there to make a nice income with very little to no overhead, no employees.... and you can work from home. It is awesome. I encourage anyone to try Team National.

I have spent an average of 2 hours of my time on 2 seperate days with a local Team National representative. The rep was totally up front with me. We had a great breakfast which he paid for both times. I watched a one hour video about Team National. The corporate Team National headquarters is in Fort Lauderdale. While I visited with the rep he put me on the phone with 2 Team National representatives who were considerably higher up in the company. Both stated they have been with TN for over 10 years and making a considerable amount of money.

Keep in mind that the people selling Team National as a home based business opportunity use product savings as one of their main selling points. These products could be anything from a new or used automobile to a memory form mattress and boxspring, to anything and everything inbetween.

I am extremely cautious when it comes to MLM's like Team National. It reminds of Quickstar, Shackly, and the old "Dare TO BE GREAT" pyramid scam that surfaced in Florida many years ago. The MLM that really reminds me of caution was the vitamin, health and beauty aid MLM that appeared on the East Coast in 1998. Hundreds if not thousands of individuals paid $1000.00 each to get onto the "program" I was one of them and lost my $1,000.00. I filed a law suit against the company but soon discovered that hundreds of other people did the same thing. Our suit turned into a FEDERAL Class Action Law Suit. We never saw our money. The owners went to prison for postal fraud and a host of other state and federal violations for 10 years.

With all due respect to TN I must bale out before I make an investment of hard earned money.
