When sales is mentioned as a profession many people immediately jump to “sleezy car salesman” when direct sales in mentioned we hear references to “pyramid scheme” and “hey girl messages”. 
Less often you hear someone bring up the uncapped income potential, the community, the female empowerment and christian mothers that are able to thrive in a career while still prioritizing their children. 
The best way to change the narrative is to live out loud. To show all the people in our own circle of influence that sales can be beautiful that direct sales is an upstanding industry. We have to win while maintaining our character and representing Christ well. Today Tiffany is going to share with you exactly how to be an ethical seller in your social selling business.
