Imagine the increase in sales it would provide your company (1:06).

"We've tried a couple of different membership tools which came as part of the packages we'd invested in. However, there's nothing that can beat the Member. I know that there's lots of awesome stuff out there that people have built throughout the years. When it comes down to customization, if you make use of WordPress there's no way to alter this. Of course, I'm biased, however we've earned millions of dollars because of this product."
