Wow, do we know how to go out with a BANG at Market America! This morning packed in a lot of emotion and even more exciting news. Here’s a recap of each topic and speaker:
Conquer Performance: Duane McLaughlin
Day Three started rolling with the amazing energy of Duane McLaughlin performing live on stage with a touching tribute to Dylan Hockley, a six year old member of our Market America family who lost his life in the Sandy Hook shooting in December. Duane also announced that he and Amber are expecting a child! No words suffice to describe the degree of joy resonating from the stage and through the crowds.
Jeremey Fennema & new UnFranchise.com
The new UnFranchise.com will focus less on individual products and more on the brand as a whole and how it works. UnFranchise Owners will get their own website URL, similar to how everyone has their own SHOP.COM portal. New site features include Power Profiles built into the site, including Million Dollar Club members, highlights of new Pin Levels, and multimedia embedded for sharing. Not only are features added to the new site, but it is restructured for easier navigation and simplified processes including reorganized menus and a new Order Product page so that every action moves quickly and thoroughly from start to finish.
Steve Ashley & UnFranchise Mobile
“For the first time ever, mobile products between phone and tables are outpacing the sale of laptops.” -Steve Ashley said before unveiling the highly innovative and incredibly simple UnFranchise Mobile.
Steve turned a vision into a reality with the highly successful SHOP.COM mobile website and now “with the help of my mobile partner Kevin Curley, my partner Jeremy Fennema, and mobile rock star Aaron Benton, I was able to create my baby.” The Mobile UnFranchise.com is available to UnFranchise owners in the United States, Canada, and Mexico TODAY in English, Chinese, AND Spanish!

Loren Ridinger & Steve Ashley: Leveraging Social Media
If you’re not making use of social media, you are losing sales. We use social media today to recommend products and share our experiences, Steve said, and every minute users spend $272,000 on products via social media.
Using social media is simple by taking the relationships built offline and taking them online. All you need to do is be yourself, have a personality, and keep that personality consistent, clean, and professional between pages. Treat your followers as your friends, because they will help you build your business!
By taking the time to practice social searching on a daily basis, your business will reap the benefits. Utilize social searching by being a listener by entering relevant keyword searches to find people asking for help. Interact with users by reaching out with a friendly, noninvasive recommendation. Use your own account to tweet what you want to attract. Then SHARE! Share your experience, your success, and information to educate your followers.
Social media allows you to collect information and expand your customer base, using the same relationship skills you use to build your business face to face! Social media is future of doing business!
“JR said it twenty years ago: ‘You don’t have to look for customers, they will come looking for you.’ We are in that time, folks!” –Loren Ridinger
Congratulations to Jacki Blasko on receiving the commendable Jerry Siciliano Award and all of our new Million Dollar Club members and new Directors on all levels. Each new distributor level that took the stage this weekend serves as a powerful example of hard work and the gifts of Market America!
