“It’s great to hear from friends both new and old. It’s a pleasure to be on the line with all of you. I have lots of information to go over with you, so have your pen and paper ready. This call is recorded, so you can revisit it for up to one week as well. ”  – Angela

As requested by a few of our leaders, at the end of the calls, we’re going to start filming the leadership nuggets segment using our flip cam. This video with go up on our blog and we’ll post the link to Facebook for you as well, just in case you and your team want to revisit the “leadership nuggets.”

Our guest on the call today is Lori Wilkinson VP of Distinct Benefits…

Good morning folks…

“We’re so pleased that Team National members reach out to us and give us testimonials every day on their health discount savings in so many different areas. I just read an article on how there’s a huge increase in the correlation of emergency room visits that are tied in to dental care. Dental hygiene is tied to our overall health and wellness.” - Lori

Just to remind you…this is not insurance,  but rather it’s a provider discount at the time of service. This is a membership based product. Just like a warehouse club. You receive a cash discount when presenting your card at the time of service.

Our dental provider is Aetna. Aetna is the largest dental provider in the US. Aetna’s Dental Access is what our discount card ties into. There are over 92,000 dentists nationwide. Most likely one near you. Make sure to not get confused. Ask for the Aetna Dental Access. Go online to view our dental provider list on bign.com/My Savings Guide/Health Discount Cards.


Dental Savings range from 15-50%

Save at least 47% on a basic cleaning.  Porcelain Crown – around 42%

Braces – save 35-45%

Both the Premium and Premium Plus Plans we offer, cover all legal dependents regardless of your family size.

I just read a USA Today article about the growing popularity in virtual doctors, i.e. Tel-a-doc which is a part of the Distinct Benefit health discount program.  We’ve also gotten great testimonials on the great savings in a variety of other areas.

We’ve updated the dealer recruitment video. The key is to build relationships first. Then share with them the awesome savings, then the optional earnings program. To access the video, go to bign.com, then  login and go to download manager under IMD resources. This video will be up on the dealer mall later this week.

Lots of great events going on all across the country. Plan now to head to Orlando in August for our next national convention, Believe to Achieve. It’s going to be the best convention ever.  Andy Andrews will be speaking at our convention. His book, The Traveler’s gift is one of my favorite’s. There are so many great quotes in there.

Lets switch gears for a moment and talk about leadership thoughts

Dick Loehr, our founder and my father passed away May 13, 2008 after a long battle with cancer.

My family has been in reflection, thought a lot about where we were and even those 2 weeks prior to my dad’s passing.

“He was a visionary. He saw us as a billion dollar company even back in the beginning. We are filled with both reflection and excitement as we continue on with my dad’s legacy and his vision. He saw us as a billion dollar company. The bigger picture is the lives we change, people we help and the value we provide, servant leadership.”  – Angela

John Maxwell, when speaking at one of our past conventions,  mentioned being “platinum on the inside.” Dick always saw us as being a billion dollar company on the inside.

Folks, we are taking stepping stones to get there and making strides to become that billion dollar company.  We are a cutting edge company with our one-of-a-kind membership savings. We are the leading membership company. There’s no other direct selling company like us cause no one else does what we do. Saving money will always be needed.

By the way, since Sydney loves chocolate milk. She now mixes in one scoop of TN Success Shake chocolate with her milk for a more nutritious drink.

This week, I’ll be posting different quotes  of my dad’s on my Facebook page. His angel card quotes among other words of wisdom.

Footprints poem

My faith that helps me get through that time.

TN love and prayers were much appreciated and helped the healing process.

For me it was my faith, knowing he was out of pain and in Heaven and the gratitude (thinking of the many blessings) that helped me as well.

Leadership Nugget - Keep a gratitude journal daily – look at all the little things in your life that you're grateful for. That’s what Sydney and I did.  click here to listen
