Zoom
In order to improve inter-team communication among our global offices during the pandemic, we have implemented Google Meet, Google Chat, and Zoom meetings. The pandemic has stepped up our timeline to redesign many of our global websites to keep up with the demand of online shopping and internet searches, and we have made online meetups and social selling a focus that has and will continue to aid us in future growth. We believe these changes will only help us build a stronger foundation in our offices and to our IBOs and customers.

—Jack Fallon, chief vision officer, Total Life Changes
Since early 2020, when the coronavirus outbreak upended normal business for corporations around the globe, direct sellers have relied on virtual events to host everything from training sessions to their splashy conferences.
