“We demonstrated something that I am very proud of. I didn’t expect it; I didn’t know what would happen. However, fortunately, we proved just how well we can do virtual conferences and events. The last one was absolutely phenomenal,” said Market America Worldwide | SHOP.COM Founder, Chairman & CEO, JR Ridinger as the event was getting ready to start. “I was so worried — I just can’t believe how well it went! Now, we’re confident that we know exactly how to connect our independent distributors (UnFranchise Owners or UFOs) and teams around the world as if they were all together in-person. We were able to generate intense energy and enthusiasm in real-time on a global scale. That was the key to distinguish our virtual events from being ‘just another video conference’ like so many other so-called virtual events.”
