This week I’ve been fortunate enough to spend some time with our Shop.com UK Team in London. This has been an amazing experience, and a real pleasure to meet with this wonderful group. We’ve had some very productive meetings this week, and I’m thrilled with the direction we are headed. We are poised for great success in the UK, and are prepared to hit the ground running. The United Kingdom represents a tremendous opportunity for expansion, and we couldn’t be more excited about our March 1st launch.

In just two weeks Phase I of the new SHOP.COM web portals will go live – providing a substantial upgrade for Market America Shop Consultants and UnFranchise ® Owners. If your Web Portal address was www.marketamerica.com/marc, you will also be able to go to www.shop/marc. Your customers will be able to shop from either of these sites, and their account information will be synced between the two. Having access to SHOP.COM’s millions of existing customers means more customer leads for you. This is a very exciting time to be involved with this company, as we are poised for tremendous success.

We have now visited seven cities on the Blitz Tour – Dallas, Phoenix, Pasadena, Portland, Minneapolis, Toronto and Boston.  I am looking forward to next stop in Long Island, NY tonight!

The Blitz Events in Minneapolis, Toronto and Boston were inspiring.  Everyone is on board with the university concept, social media, IBV and the portal. I was joined by Loren Ridinger and Dennis Franks as we enlightened the attendees about Market America’s Paid to Shop program, social media, vertical marketing, the UnFranchise business and the revolution of social shopping.  In Toronto, Field Vice President, Jim Winkler joined us as well.

How do you encourage your employees to work together? Two executives examine the idea of collective leadership in their new book, As One.

What makes a leader great? All entrepreneurs and CEOs face a similar challenge: Inspiring employees to work together. Management gurus, from Peter Drucker to Tony Hsieh, have offered insights about forming collaborative work environments, but few have attempted to apply a more scientific approach to finding the key ingredient for great leadership.
