Southwestern Company remains steadfast and consistent with our messaging and dedicated to outreach and awareness efforts of informing and educating consumers and potential participants regarding: (1) the differences between disreputable sales organizations and legitimate ones; (2) traveling sales crews; (3) useable and relevant safety tips; and (4) direct selling in general.
