Anybody every hear of Team National???

BigBusBob · Sep 19, 2006

I put up a post on the "Loading Dock" message forum, and figured I'd try here as well. Anybody ever hear of an outfit called "Team National"? my cousin is involved in it, as well as his 5 brothers and sisters and his parents. Looked like another Pyrimid scheme, but he said he's gotten about 100+ people into it and said he's makin' money as well as them... said he's gettin' about $1,500+ a week now in it.
Anybody hear of it, I'm not involved in it yet - waiting to see if I can hunt down more people that have heard of it.

Thanks, BBB

Guess I can tell my cousin that it's just not for me... as many people that frequent EO and nobody has heard of it, except to basically tell me "stay away".

Thanks for the info. Guess I'll just stick to my own "get rich quick" scheme of bein' a driver.
Later, BBB.

Cornerstone wrote this reply to me in the "Loading Dock" message forum here on EO...

"This is a direct selling or network marketing company. I don't believe it is a pyramid scheme or a scam. They are members of the DSA (Direct Selling Association). It is possible for the average person to make money in this industry but you have to be willing to talk with A LOT of people. Many people start with friends and family and then you need to work on your cold market. Many of the successful people use targeted leads that they contact about the opportunity. So basically you need to recruit people and then you need to lead the group and duplicate what you are doing.
I have a good friend that is in this industry and is very successful ($50,000+ per month). He has worked his tail off but he is now seeing the fruits of his labor. This business is not for everyone and I am included in that. The money is very tempting but I don't think that I could get on the phone and call people for hours on end and have 95% of them tell to get lost.

If you feel this industry is for you then I would do a lot more research before you jump in. I know from talking with my friend that you need to find a company that has a single focus with a powerful product. Good luck on your decision."

That above is very interesting, however the link that Terry provided in his post I found even more interesting...
Thank you everybody... it's not somethin' I will be getting myself into... or my side of the family.
