“It’s an honor to celebrate the successes of Proforma’s Million and Multi-Million Dollar Club members every year,” Greg Muzzillo, founder of Proforma, said in a press release. “We are extremely proud to have the largest, most successful group of million-dollar producers in our industry. We know what it takes to build a multi-million-dollar distributorship and we have put the tools and resources in place to help our Owners grow their sales as much as they want so they can live the life of their dreams.”
