Was thinking the same scenarios until... UOHMg7

I think verbLIVE was released in 2020 and then verb took additional measures to add more functionality and scale it. Remember when Rory said demand far exceeded what they initially scaled it to.
I remember the first release of Excel, SharePoint, Teams, etc and thinking, you need to fix this sh_t MS. First release of anything is really to get it out there and get feedback to bake into your 3 year roadmap.
"Ahead of the official launch, VERB will be running an initial pilot program with current customers during the fourth quarter of this year. After a successful testing period, the Company intends to roll-out VERB Live to its current enterprise customers in the first quarter of 2020 before making the product available for all audiences. "

"verbLIVE is currently in final beta-testing, and is expected to launch commercially in December 2020 . A mobile app-based version of verbLIVE, with enhanced features, is currently in development and is expected to be released in early first quarter of 2021."
In Q1 of this year verb was giving many of the clients a 3 month trial of verbLIVE. I think what we will now see is many of those customers get announced. I think a number of them will tie it into their annual convention. Mannatech is going on now and I was watching late into the evening last night.
As far as Mannatech future growth and the edge verbLIVE will give them. I would say a big factor is how a company internally promotes the app and provides training. It doesn't matter if it's verbLIVE, MS Teams, Salesforce, etc. If a company doesn't promote/train, adoption is slow.
Market America is hitting it out of the park with promoting and training on verbLIVE
On the other side of the coin you have Vasayo, that throws it out there with a $14.99 price tag

Now maybe there are killing it internally promoting and training on it, I don't know, but I don't see them publicly doing it. Doesn't mean they are not doing it privately or waiting for a convention.
What I think we will see is the companies that take the approach that Market America did, will be much more successful and others will notice and follow.
