“Houston was on fire this weekend wow! Thanks to the hosts of the event for their hospitality, Harpers, Boschert, Gantts & Vaughns. What a fantastic event out on by great leaders.” – Dan
It was just neat to see the different generations there in attendance. All of these different folks have the same 
2 things in common, they want to save and earn money.

Team National can change your life is you let it. As they say, if you are willing to have a short time of possible discomfort and inconvenience, you can end up with a lifelong comfort and a lifestyle of your dreams. 
“Your local and regional events are so important to your success. Check out our event locator tab for a great event near you. They are well worth your time to drive on over and attend one in your area.” - Angela
When we review tnideas@bign.com , we get all sorts of great feedback and great ideas about the memberships and marketing tools etc. We also get comments regarding some of the new things that we recently launched, like the TNRA.

Here’s a great testimonial from Gold Presidential Craig Pourciau.
Out of habit, last night I passed out the paperwork to a couple in their mid 20's. After he flipped through the 3 applications, he said "TN needs to step it up a notch and develop an App for all this paperwork."  I had honestly forgotten about it!! I Then, handed his wife my iPhone and in less than 2 minutes, it was done! Saved us a ton of time and made a great impression on our new team member.”   -Craig Pourciau.
“TNRA gives you a choice to go paperless or if you feel more comfortable with the traditional paperwork, the choice is yours. We will continue to provide tools for you that give you choices i.e. easier, more mobile, more accessible. ” - Angela
“Recently, I had an awesome opportunity in Washington, DC. I was there on behalf of the DSA (Direct Selling Association). I am on the Board of Directors for both the DSA and the DSEF (Direct Selling Education Foundation). Myself and Team National are very active in both of these organizations. A few times during the year, I participate in these board meetings and leadership trainings. This year in DC, I attended the 2nd Annual Women’s Leadership Retreat, with only 15-20 women in the direct-selling industry. This is a great way to connect in a smaller setting, talking and sharing ideas on how to improve and continue growth. We share openly and truly make each other better, not to mention help the industry as a whole.” - Angela
Folks, how cool and exciting it is that you are part of an industry that is changing lives financially, saving and earning,  but also we as an organization we spoke to Congress and made our point that we make a difference in the economy of the United States of America.

Congressman Brett Guthrie (Kentucky) was once a small business owner and in the manufacturing business as well. – He already has a great perspective regarding small business and his votes matter. We have in the US about 16 million people who are who direct sellers.

When I spoke to Congress, I was thrilled to be talking about savings. I’d love to go again next year and be an advocate for our industry and our company.

Another person I spoke with was Congresswoman Judy Biggert (Illinois) She was familiar with Pampered Chef - direct sellers of various kitchen gadgets and the founder Doris Christopher. She wasn’t aware however, that all reps are independent small businesses. Then once she made the connection, I felt better.
“Here’s a great unknown lesson I was reminded of on this trip: Don’t pre-judge people merely by their attire or upon the first meeting.  Leadership Lesson – Don’t judge people. Give everyone the opportunity to decide if the Team National opportunity is for right for them.  Even if it’s not the right time now or maybe not interested right now, you never know.” - Angela
