A number of great announcements to share:
Cruise
Our 15 year anniversary cruise promo. Folks it’s never been
easier, 15 points and you’re cruising….
“There’s a terrific Bon Voyage party to kick things off for the cruise. This year, the Bon Voyage party will be at a marina venue, where you are overlooking several multi, multi-million dollar yachts. Wow, talk about a dream builder! Get valuable nuggets and tips from our top income earners, while enjoying fun and fellowship. More cruise winners make the decision to go Platinum than any other contest winners. ” - Phil
Each winner also get $500 in cash. If you’ve already won the
cruise in the first leg of this promo and you win again this time around, we
bump up your cash prize.
Over 100 people are within striking distance. There are only

fill. So get those points in and come sail away with us.

A few quick announcements…
Business benefits category – businesses are all looking to
increase revenue and looking to cut
costs. We are growing this category.
TNBE Mobile App – You can now access thousands of members in
our Business Exchange directory while you are on the go.. With your iPhone or Smartphone,
simply download the app and find all TNBE members. The Google analytics show
that at least 1200 members have downloaded this mobile app already and that
these members are viewing 26,000 pages in just 2 weeks. We’re off and running! At
the onset of this app, there were some Initial bugs. IT has worked diligently
to get these things fixed. As of late
last Friday, I’m told that these glitches have all been corrected. Please email Erika Tnbe1@bign.com directly with your feedback
and/or suggestions to enhance the user experience. So far this has been very well
received. It is creating a buzz and some
great activity.
BE Bargain - TNBE
members can now add a BE Bargain. This is a free, special limited time offer
for our TN members. Like a Groupon or
Living Social type of opportunity, except our BE members keep 100% of their money.
This is just another way to leverage and showcase your business and save money
for our members.

recommendations. We recently added boats,
golf carts and buggies to the motorsport mall.
